We have a spinning water exhibit that would be easy to replicate for a family event. Find a clear skinny container that can hold water. (The container on our exhibit has the following measurements: 12" high x 12" wide x 2" wide.) Fill approximately 1/3 full of water colored with a bit of food coloring. Center container on a lazy susan and spin. The spinning motion will create a parabola, demonstrating centripetal force.

take a bucket of water and swing it around over your head. Oooooooo!!!
(I have a bunch of yogurt cups with handles of cotton twine, so kids can try it too without too much worry about spilling tons of water. That said, I still do this outside...)

Hello,
I'm looking for some simple, low mess experiments I can do at a family program that demonstrate the properties of spinning. I'm planning to do salad spinner spin art; I tried steve spangler's chromotography experiment with little success. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
