Unbreakable Thread Force And Motion Science Experiment

In this fun and easy force and motion science experiment for kids, we’re going to investigate unbreakable thread. 

 

Materials:

  • Wooden cloths hanger
  • Thin wooden stick
  • Two pieces of thread
  • Metal edged ruler




Instructions:

  1. Tie one piece of thread to each end of the wooden cloths hanger.
  2. Now tie the free end of each thread to each end of the wooden cloths hanger so that the wooden stick is suspended below. Do so in a way that the wooden stick hangs about twelve inches below the hanger.
  3. Now hit the stick with the metal edge of the ruler.
  4. The stick will break before the threads.

How it Works:

Because of inertia, the stick will attempt to remain at rest so much it would rather break than move.

 

Make This A Science Project:

Try pencils or wooden dowels that are larger in diameter. Try thicker pieces of string or yarn.
