Science in Toyland

Build Them to Stand!






Some of the most famous buildings in the world can be made from simple blocks. Put gravity to work as you construct your own buildings.

Your building will stand as long as the center of gravity remains within the area of its base.

Building blocks and stacking toys are excellent for exploring center of gravity.
