Well, did you find any more objects at home and test whether the center of gravity was exactly or approximately in the middle?
Then take a photo of the object right away. Upload it and write whether the center of gravity was approximately in the middle. Of course, you can also take a photo of yourself balancing the object on your finger. But make sure that only your finger and the object are visible, and not yourself.
I’m excited to see what you found :)!

have you ever wondered how things are made? How does, for example, the idea of a helicopter in your head turn into a real product? Imagine you want to build such a toy helicopter or even manufacture a real helicopter. How would you proceed?
Let’s collect ideas together here in the comments.
I’m excited to see what you come up with!

this time, creating the new puzzle (the airplane puzzle) was very different from usual. Why? Because in March 2020, the lockdown due to Corona came, and we all had to work from home. But that didn’t stop me, of course 😉
And working from home on the balcony has its own charm 😉
I could no longer shoot the videos with our media producer Stephan as usual. This means I had to figure out how to shoot videos myself with what I had at home. So Stephan wasn’t there to hold the camera, and I didn’t have any accessories, like a tripod. But in true Kniffelix spirit, that you can experiment with household items, I experimented this time with how to shoot videos for a new Kniffelix puzzle using things from around the house.
I want to show you what I came up with and built for this with two little behind-the-scenes glimpses. Have fun watching!
And then I needed a solution to film the work on a suspended airplane…
Have you ever built a tripod from household items, or perhaps something else? If so, please describe it briefly in the comments or upload a photo of it. (If you are reading this report in the news, click on the title of the post above to comment.) I’m curious.

Every plant has very different preferences for its environment. One prefers it drier, the other feels really comfortable in wet soil.
I was recently on vacation in Bordeaux, a warm region where a lot of wine is grown. There I learned that wine thrives best on loamy soil. This can retain water well, so that the roots do not dry out in hot temperatures and the young vines remain “fresh”.
Do you know of any other plants that prefer a very specific type of soil? Feel free to do some research on the internet (or in your local hardware store ;)) and write me your findings in the comments.

Pia was particularly diligent with us and simply built several different airplane models. How are things with you? Have you ever built another airplane? Or do you feel like trying out more models? Whether made of cardboard, sticks and fabric, or a paper airplane, it doesn’t matter 😉 Be creative!
Upload a photo of your other model and tell us if it flew well.

well, were your adjustments in building the flyer successful? Did you use playdough to shift the center of gravity, or another material?
Was it difficult to get the right amount of playdough or other material to place the center of gravity centrally over the wings?
What does your finished flyer look like? Feel free to upload a photo and share it with others.
And most importantly, how did the flying work out? How did the flyer fly now? Does it fly further if you throw it straight forward or slightly upwards? And did it work better with a lot or a little momentum?
I’m excited to hear what you report.

Hello, nice to see you again. Did you manage to remember the terms you learned in the last video? Then test your knowledge right away in this fill-in-the-blanks exercise.
