Turning

This investigation allows children to experiment with turning - they would not need any prior experience to have a go at these activities. You might want to encourage children to visualise the different things described. You could also suggest they actually find the articles and do what is described to help them. Encourage the pupils to talk to each other as they try out their ideas. To make a version of this interactivity which does not require technology, we just need two differently-coloured discs of thick paper or card. A slit is cut into each from the edge to the centre in a straight line. The two slots are then allowed to overlap each other and turning links the two together.
