Last week children really our engineering lab linked to our class text. The children had to try and balance a coin on a lemon. It was very tricky but lots of children showed perseverance and kept returning to the activity to have another try. We would like to give a Shout Out to Ivy Ray for her perseverance and her great thinking. She adjusted the coin carefully each time to try and get it to balance. She was very successful with the activity.

We found out that we could make it easier or harder by adjusting the amount of water in the bowl. We also found out that the type of coin we used could make a difference. We loved the activity so much that we set it up again today. This time we tried to balance a cube on the lemon.
