Balancing a Can: Exploring Center of Gravity with Water

In this hands-on science experiment, we explore the concept of balance and center of gravity using cans filled with water. Start by pouring 100ml of water into one of three cans. Tilt the can and experiment with trying to balance it. Notice how the weight of the water shifts its center of gravity when the can is tilted. Next, freeze another 100ml of water in a different can and attempt a similar balance. Observe how the frozen water behaves differently, as its center of gravity does not shift in the same way. This experiment demonstrates the principles of balance and gravity in an engaging manner.

  1. Science Balancing a can By Tito

  2. Aim To balance a can on its rim. Apiarist • 3 cans • 100 ml of water

  3. Step 1 Poor 100ml of water into ONE of the cans.

  4. Step 2 Tilt the can over and try to balance the one with know water. Than try to do with the other one. Why dose this happen!?

  5. The water in the can it relatively heavy and shifts in a new position when the can is tilted. As you do it, you moves the senate gravity directly above the point its balancing on.

  6. Step 3 try to do the same thing but freezing it in a another can with still 100 ml of water. Why wont it balance!?

  7. Because the can is tilted, the senate gravity doesn't move. As you can see, the senate gravity isn't lined up.
