Explore the science of balancing your body with these get-up-and-move activities to try in the classroom or at home. Not only will your students have a chance to get up and move, they will also learn some science at the same time. A printable version in both English and Spanish accompanies the sctivity, and there are links to extension activities, as well.
In the Classroom
Try this activity in your classroom as you study laws of motion or the human body. Your kinesthetic learners will "get it." Team up with the classroom and PE teacher together to get the kids thinking as they move.
At Home
Try this experiment with how your body balances in your family room or kitchen. No risk of damaging things, just a chance to learn as you move. You could even try some of these while dinner is cooking and talk about them at the table.
