As part of Science Week we carried out an experiment to see how balance is important and how we use it every day, without even thinking about it. Our challenge was to pick up a €2 coin off the ground. Sounds simple right? Wrong! We had to have our backs to the wall and could not bend our knees. The wall prevented us from counter balancing as we bent forward and so it was nearly impossible to pick up the coin. Well done Suzanne, who defied the laws of physics and managed to claim the €2 without falling forward.
