Cost: FreeBest time: AnytimeCreates something to keep
Play guide
- 1Use two equal sheets of paper; keep one flat and loosely crumple the other. Add simple ghost faces if you want.
- 2Hold them at the same height and release them at the same time while both people watch which lands first.
- 3Swap which person drops them, then change one paper shape and test again.
Success signals
The family observes a repeatable difference caused by changing shape while keeping the paper amount the same.
If it's tricky
Both land almost together: drop from a little higher while standing safely on the floor, not on furniture.
