What other changes can you make in your spinner? Can you colour it? How many different ways can you colour it?
Spinners can be modified in various ways: changing the shape from circular to square or other shapes, altering the length of the toothpick, adjusting the size of the cardboard piece, and colouring the spinner with different patterns. Colouring can be done in multiple ways - using different colours in sections, creating spiral patterns, making stripes, or drawing designs. When a spinner coloured with multiple colours is spun, the colours blend together and may appear as a single mixed colour or create visual patterns.
Explanation
The chapter encourages students to experiment with spinners: 'What other shapes can you try? Make spinners using different shapes of card pieces, spin them, and observe what happens.' It also asks students to colour spinners in different ways and observe what happens to the colours when the spinner is in motion. This helps students understand visual perception and colour mixing through spinning motion.
