When the balance is level
Age 7 · Maths
Open to everyone until Thursday, November 19
To keep it, print it while it is open.
A balance has two pans that hang from a beam. When the beam stays straight and flat, both sides weigh the same.
Examples
- An apple on one side and three metal cubes on the other: the beam is flat, so they weigh the same.
- Two children of the same weight sit on a seesaw and it stays flat.
Key takeaways
- Beam flat means both sides weigh the same.
- The side that goes down is the heavier one.
