Guide

The "daisy" in this exhibit is attached to a 10-foot tall pole. The participant will try to place this pole over a small post sticking up from the center of a weighted pot. The task seems easy at first, but the pole is surprisingly difficult to control when held in one hand at the nodal point.

Make sure that participants are careful when holding the daisy. Participants need to be strong enough to hold the pole one-handed; children who are too small cannot participate.
