Sprinting Sticks Experiment

Find out how to create your own amazing sprinting sticks.

You will need
  • Lots of craft sticks (two different colours)

Instructions

  • On a flat surface, weave the sticks under and over each other to make a chain

  • Hold down the sticks as you go, especially the most recent stick you've added

  • Keep the gaps between the sticks the same so that the chain is really even

  • When you have finished your chain, start your sprint by releasing the final stick!

Tips

  • Ask a grown-up to help you hold down the sticks as you go - you don't want the sprint to start too soon!

  • Using two colours will make it easier to know which stick to weave next

  • A soft surface will help you to get one stick under the next
