Balanced Structures

School Groups
Primary School

Online

If we placed all our pencils on top of one another, would they stay balanced? Would you need more materials to keep them stable? In this workshop we will learn about scales and weighing machines and explore the materials used by architects and engineers in the past. After an online guided tour of the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Collection of Anatolian Weights and Measures, we will design durable structures that can stand upright, using toothpicks and colored play dough.      

Materials

Toothpicks (50 pieces)
