Paper Science Experiment

Need: one sheet of computer paper, tape, and pen.

Cut the paper vertically into a one inch strip. If you have larger paper than 8" x 11", use that.

Holding the piece of paper between your hands so it's straight, go ahead and twist it in half.

Form the paper strip into a circle, then tape the ends together.

Hold the paper circle with one hand. Grab your pen then draw a line down the center of the paper until it covers the entire circle.

Remove the tape and straighten out the circle to its original long form. Both sides of the paper should have a line on it.

You can also cut the line with scissors when it's still taped together (or get an adult to help).

You should end up with a chain longer than your original one.

Cool right?

Once again, this is an easy experiment to do in the classroom, at Sunday school classes, at home or at camp.

Make learning fun and kids will devour it! When their young minds are stretched, curiosity is aroused and they find learning fun and not a chore, they will want to learn - and do - more.

This game is good for larger groups as you can get many one inch pieces of paper out of one sheet of paper.
