Balancing Act
This lesson aims to introduce the concept of equilibrium point by creating and revising a model.
This hands-on lesson encourages students to explore the concepts of equilibrium and balance while promoting consensus-building within their small groups. It encourages critical thinking, collaboration, problem-solving, and communication skills, which are essential in the scientific process.
I use this lesson early in the year and refer back to it when creating force diagrams. It is a great introductory lab to start modeling consensus building in the classroom.
