Kids are always amazed when they see
this bird balance on anything - a finger, even a nose! But it doesn't
defy gravity - it takes advantage of it. Thanks to two well-placed weights
at the end of its wings, its center of mass is located below the tip of its
beak, creating a stable equilibrium.
Show students how deceiving an
object's center of mass can be, spin it on the end of your finger to demonstrate rotational
motion, or discuss movement in two systems by moving your hand through the air
to add translational motion. Size 6" wingspan.
