Mary,

     This activity, Against the Wall, may be simple enough for elementary 
students to do.  The site shares explanations for what is happening and why. 
There are also other center of gravity experiments listed, like the 
balancing meter stick and balancing nails.  Good luck :)

I need help in teaching center of gravity / balance concepts to
elementary students.  I'm looking for ways to demonstrate finding the
CoG as well as ways that students can display the concept.  Any activity
ideas or background information would be greatly appreciated.
