limbo period waiting to do my PhD. The best one I saw was the one with
a see-saw and levers, where they tried to use the see-saw and couldn't
because one was bigger, then tried lifting something, discovered that
the lever allowed them to move things easier or harder depending on
where they put the rock pivot. Then they got on the see saw, but with
the little one nearer the middle, and see-sawed away happily, before
going home. It was beautiful and fun, and showed simple physics in a
great way, and one that kids could understand too. Fantastic. Really
Great Program!!! :-)
