[b]Objective[/b]: Understand how the center of gravity affects the stability of objects.[br][br][list][*]Move the points on the object to change its shape and see how the center of gravity (the balance point) shifts.[/*][*]Try placing the center of gravity outside the object’s base. Observe what happens to its stability.[/*][b][br]Short Discussion[/b]:[list][*][b]Question 1[/b]: What happens to the stability of an object when its center of gravity is outside its base?[/*][*][b]Question 2[/b]: Why is it important to know the center of gravity when designing structures like buildings or bridges?[/*][/list][/list]
