Results and
Theory
 Result 1
1 toothpick + 1 fork (on table)
 Result 2
1 toothpick + 2 fork (on bottle)
 First we’re going to
look at the scientific
forces
Scientific forces

1. Center of Gravity:
- Is the center point which you can balance the object
as if all the masses were gathered at this point.
- In this experiment the center of Gravity is where the
toothpick sits (table/bottle)
Scientific forces

2. Distirbution of weight:
- Is how to manage the center of gravity
- The weight have to be balanced on both sides
Now we’re going to
look at the theory
Theory

In order to succeed we need to:

- Understand the principles of center of gravity
- Make a good distribution between the weight of
each side of the fork
5 Conclusion
Conclusion

- During this experiment we need to be patient and

diligent to get the center of gravity and the distribution
of balance
- In this experiment we learned the aspects of center of
gravity and the distribution of balance
