This paper describes how Jenga™ blocks can be used to demonstrate the physics of an
overhanging tower that appears to defy gravity. We also propose ideas for how this
demonstration can be adapted for the A-level physics curriculum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
