Etoys Minute - Balance Scales

Launch if you have Etoys
if not download here 

Balance Scales is part of a set of the ELVM (Etoys Library of Virtual Manipulatives) I am working on.  The advantage of ELVM's over other Virtual Manipulatives is that being in Etoys the kids and teachers can not only play with them, but also:

• Use them in journal entries created in Etoys
• Kids and Teachers can create their own versions of the EVLMs
• Look inside and see how they work (just get the halo and look at the scripts)
