Balance & Motion

Toby's class is spinning and spinning this week with tops, whirly birds and spinners. Mr. Martinelli, his teacher, knows how much I love science -so I get to help this week. Kids love science, even if they don't realize that is what they are doing! Today they made tops and created designs for them. Toby had some trouble getting his to spin just right, but with some guidance from a friend he built a top he could really make spin.
Toby building his top. The big circles were a flop - too awkward.

Toby and Ben using the floor to really get a long spin going.

The dots all blended together when it got really moving.

Love the close up view these guys took!

Watch Mom!
