This resource is a worksheet in which students use a simulation to place various masses on a balance beam and balance the beam by appropriate placement of different masses on the opposite side. Students calculate the amount of torque and find the masses of “mystery objects.” The resource includes a student handout. Answers are not provided. The accompanying simulation can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/balancing-act
