STUDENTS WILL LEARN & EXPERIMENT WITH

  • 🔸How to Assemble Their Paint Spinner — Video instructions included
  • 🔸Centripetal Force — explore how mass, speed, and radius affect the inward force needed to keep objects moving in a circle
  • 🔸Friction vs. Radius — test how objects placed near the center vs. the edge behave as speed increases
  • 🔸Centrifugal "Force" — understand why it feels like things are pushed outward even though the real force is inward
  • 🔸Centrifuges & Real‑World Applications — connect spinner behavior to washing machines, tire balancing, and lab centrifuges
  • 🔸Unbalanced Loads & Vibration — add weight to one side of the spinner to see how imbalance causes wobble and how engineers fix it
  • 🔸Art + Physics Integration — experiment with applying paint before vs. during spinning, dragging tools through wet paint, adding beads or glitter, and testing how different materials behave
  • 🔸Maker Mindset — try new materials, surfaces, and techniques to create unique art while observing the physics behind each effect

###Mini‑lessons are adapted for each academic level (K–12) so siblings can learn together with age‑appropriate challenges.
