'Try this' challenge 7: Sprinkler

You will need:

Genius:

  • Different shapped cartons

BE REALLY CAREFULL WITH THE SCISSORS AND TEST YOUR SPRIKLER / SPINNER OUTSIDE!!

What to do:

  1. Take your scissors and carefully poke a hole in the bottom left corner of each side of your juice carton – or you could do bottom right if you feel strongly about it, as long as you’re consistent.

  2. Poke another hole in middle of the top flap. If you have a hole punch, it might work a bit better than scissors for this one.

  3. Thread your string through the hole at the top of your carton and tie a knot so you can hang it up later. Now head to your designated sprinkle zone.

  4. Put some water in your bowl, stand the carton in it and then fill the carton up with water.

  5. Lift the carton up, watch (and maybe get out of the way) as it starts to spin.

Genius challenge:

  1. Can you use moments to explain what is going on?

  2. How can you make the spinner:

  • Spin faster?

  • Spin for longer?
