Science Week

Investigation - To find out which material makes the best spinner.

We made a spinner out of paper and tested it to see if it would spin effectively.

Each group chose a different material for their spinner - card, foil, kitchen roll, J-cloth and tissue paper.

We made predictions as a group, we understood that we could only change 1 variable and we tested them. We used stopwatches to time our spinners. The slowest spinner was made from tissue paper but we were all surprised how well the foil and J-cloth spinners spun.  We all made a lovely paper spinner to take home and have fun with.
