Balancing Butterfly

A wide, heavy-looking shape balances on a tiny point. Ask students to predict what will happen. Balance the butterfly by its nose on a finger or stand. Key idea: Weights place the combined center of mass below the support point. Ask: Why doesn't it fall? Safety and cleanup: Use large non-choking weights. https://kidpillar.com/balancing-butterfly-fun-science-experiment-for-kids/
