Investigate the effect of gravity with this easy experiment to add fun to your science lessons without lots of planning or resources.
This is a great way of looking at gravity in a slightly different way. We are used to thinking about gravity making things fall, but this experiment shows us how we can use what we know about gravity to make things STOP falling over too.
This pack contains a practical sheet to laminate a use with your class, a teacher tips sheet with helpful tips, extended background information, ideas for extending the activity and risk assessment. There is also a link to our blog for an electronic version of the experiment.
