Observe and compare the weights of the objects, then click to select the heaviest one at the bottom of the screen. The time you have spent at each level will be recorded at the top, and a score will be given based on it if your answer is correct.

Educator's Review: In Seesaw Logic players have to compare two objects to decide how heavy they are, based on which one weighs down the seesaw to its side. However, as the game advances, the two objects being compared are not always on the same seesaw but rather must be compared to a third object that is shown in comparison to one or both of the other objects. Players have to apply logic to figure out which of the displayed objects is the heaviest, for example if the round object is heavier than the pyramid, and the pyramid is heavier than the cube, then the round object must be heavier than the cube. While deceptively simple at first, this game quickly becomes challenging.
Please Note: This game requires players to compare images of seesaws, and sometimes there are several on the screen at once. Players who are easily overwhelmed by too much visual information will have a harder time with later levels in this game, particularly since there is a timer that is prominently displayed on screen and can increase player nervousness. However, the timer does not run out and won't end gameplay before the player has a chance to answer, it simply gives the player a lower score. Also, while the timer cannot be removed, the game can be paused mid-play to give a break when needed. Players who can ignore the fast running timer and just play will benefit a lot from this game.
