In "Emily's Science Lab: Balancing Act With a Broom Stick," hosted by MIT engineer Emily Calandrelli, young viewers explore the science of balance and center of mass. Through engaging experiments, Emily demonstrates how to find the balancing point of a broomstick, highlighting the concept of center of mass as the average position of all mass in an object. School-aged children will learn why homogeneous objects balance differently from those with uneven mass distribution. This fun and educational video encourages curiosity around physics and hands-on learning. Emily also invites viewers to check out her best-selling "Stay Curious and Keep Exploring" book series, offering 99 additional science experiments for kids. The video, part of the "Emily's Science Lab" series, is a valuable tool for young learners, fostering an understanding of basic scientific principles in an enjoyable setting.
