" Hi I'm Scott Thompson for expertvillage.com, and today I'm going to demonstrate a center of gravity activity using balancing butterflies. First step, after you have the templates made and you got some paper on hand: you can pass out templates to students and have them trace the template's shape onto the paper, and the students can cut out their butterfly shape. At the time, depending on what the lesson is—if it is on actually on a type of butterfly, or if it is an art class or whatever—they can either color their butterflies certain patterns, or just color it crazy, whatever pattern they want or not at all. But that would be the time to do that. That is going to represent the top of the butterfly."
