Balancing Act: Grade 4 Students Weigh In on Weight
“Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.” – Albert Einstein
The Grade 4 students at St. Lawrence High School and Junior College explored the concept of weight through a hands-on balancing activity. They designed and built their own creative weighing machines using everyday objects, making learning both fun and interactive.
As they experimented, students observed how heavier objects tipped the balance downward, while lighter objects lifted it up, deepening their understanding of weight and balance.
This engaging activity brought science to life, turning abstract concepts into an exciting and memorable learning experience.
