Knowing how gravity acts on an object is a valuable concept for students whether they go on to study physics or not. It is not just for free body diagrams! Understanding the cause and effect of gravity on an object is important in a wide range of applications, from hitting a homer on the baseball diamond to designing and constructing the structures we live in.

Take an investigation-based approach to find an object's center of gravity. The Investigating the Center of Gravity Classroom Kit is a teacher-developed kit that encourages students to collaborate and identify patterns between the different shapes. Learn more in this video.
