We have started a new science unit about Balance and Motion. Right now we are focued on balance. Each student has a contract of balance activities to work on during our science block. There are a variety of different activities called a "have-to" and some "choices". Once a student has successfully completed a station with accurate understanding of the concepts I sign off on their contract. Here are a few photos of science block in action:

Students learned that the counterweight needs to be below the balance point.
