Try this!

The other day the children saw this experiment on television. I missed it, so Brady tried it at home so I could see. I'm still amazed that the weight of the forks is balanced by the very end of a toothpick!
If you try this yourself, you need a "shaker" with holes just the right size so that the toothpick will not fall through. Attach another toothpick and two forks as shown.

I can't figure it out by looking at it, so we'll have to talk about it later. What show was Brady watching on TV?
