Once a simple toy, yo-yo’s have evolved into more complex designs and materials in order to increase playability and spinning time. In the most basic idea, yo-yo’s can be classified into three distinct shapes, each having further subcategories Within the 1A division (manipulation of the string using one yo-yo), the butterfly is the most common shape, with three further shapes within the butterfly. The butterfly shape has three main shapes, being the H shaped, V shaped, and O (organic shaped). Each shape has benefits and caveats, though V shaped yo-yo’s are most commonly used in competition for combining the best elements of organic and v shaped yo-yo’s H-shaped yo-yo’s primarily focus on wide string gaps and heavy rim weight, which …show more content…
This shape, however, was the first (and thereby signature) butterfly shape, popularized by the aptly named Duncan Butterfly. Advantages of organic yo-yo’s include a larger catch zone for string tricks, and well as fitting in one’s hand rather comfortably when compared to an H or V shaped yo-yo. Yet, this shape, though popularized by the company OneDrop, lacks the performance benefits associated with V or H shapes, though nevertheless remains for nostalgia and a, “fun,” throw. Combining the aspects and benefits of both H shaped and organic yo-yo’s is the V shaped yo-yo. One of the most popular shapes today, this style allows a wide catch zone and long spin times. Though there are no playability related downsides to this shape, quality V yo-yo’s are often times more expensive than other shapes, though this is not always true in some instances. It also must be considered that all yo-yo shapes are somewhat arbitrary- though H,V, and O shapes have defining characteristics, there is no set guide to shapes, and thus depends on player to player. Therefore, the aim of this experiment is to determine if yo-yo shapes influence spin times in the manners I described, as it is the general consensus among yo-yo players. Using a yo-yo from each shape described, with each being subject to two throws, will determine the longest spinning yo-yo. For reference, the yo-yo’s being used include the YoYoFactory
Designed for ages 7 and up, this 255 piece LEGO set allows your little creator to build the Snow Crawler land vehicle and the Blue Eagle jet. The cockpit of the LEGO jet opens, and Dash fits within easily. Both LEGO vehicles include a fair degree of functionality, such as the Blue Eagle's claw and the ice orb launcher on the Snow Crawler. In addition, the wings of the LEGO Snow Crawler move, giving it a bug-like appearance. A small lever on the side of the Snow Crawler will send an ice orb wherever Ogel wants something frozen. The claw of the Blue Eagle will move on a lever, and can pull apart the Snow Crawler in mid-air.
2. Let’s use 1 block to represent a small cubed organism and 8 blocks to construct a large cubed organism. Complete the following table.
1. A boy is whirling a yo-yo above his head in a counter-clockwise direction. At the exact moment shown at left, he lets go of the string. In which direction will the yo-yo travel? Draw an arrow on the image to show the yo-yo’s direction.
Fidget spinners were originally developed as a way for children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism to relieve stress. This is a good reason fidget spinners should be allowed in school. In the text is says,’’ They timed each other's spin, recorded it on a table and then put it onto a graph’’ This brings them together and they spend
Step2: Take the end of the string and weave it under the loop created between the first and second loops. Make a “stumbling block” at the thread of every knot. Each of the stumbling blocks should be at the midpoints of the threads. When weaving remember to pull the string tight but not too tight. After you make the first row of the stumbling blocks, continue weaving the string between the new segments while making new stumbling blocks between those. As the circle gets smaller and smaller pull the string tighter and tighter each time. (Feel free to add a few gemstones along your weaving to make a design).
The teacher will then ask the students to manipulate their whirligig how they would like and see how it moves when dropped. The teacher will also add in that their whirligig will need to have a paper clip on it.
Duncan is positioned as one of the largest Yo-yo manufacturer in the world. The yo-yo boom has been decreased rapidly with the fast pace technology and the invention of more varieties of toys and games. Duncan new product “Yo-yo Light Keychain” is to be marketed in anticipation of its next comeback.
This shape is again, the hexagon. When anything comes into the universe it tries to become the most efficient shape it can possibly be. An example that Mr. Du Sautoy gives is bubbles. Bubbles are

In Monster Busters: Hexa Blast, there are more than 50 levels in various shapes. A portion of the sheets are heart-molded, while others are geometric, others look like creatures, and so on. What they all have in like manner, however, are the hexagonal cells.
Place a wooden board with a length of about two meters horizontally. Measure one meter along the board and mark the location. Raise the marked location anywhere from 5 to 10 cm and use a clamp to hold the board still at that height. Grab your first object, record its mass and radius from the axis of rotation, and put it on the marked location. Have one person start the timer when you release the object from rest at the top and record the time it takes for it to reach the bottom. Make sure no slipping occurs and the object follows a linear path downward. Do at least three trails for every object. You should have four different circular
The first type is action origami; it is simply origami that moves. An example is the jumping frog. The second type is modular origami; it is many identical pieces of paper that are assembled together to form a more complex, 3D shape. An example is the Sonobe cube by Jo Nakashima; it was assembled with 96 pieces. This is also an action origami because it can move too. Last but not least, wet folding; it involves dampening the paper with water to create gentle curves, as opposed to the straight folds from other methods. This is mainly use to make origami animals. An example is the lion made by Hoang Tien Quyet; you can see the curves on the mane and the tail of the lion. I told you about the 3 main types of origami, such as action, modular, and wet folding, now I am going to tell you how to use your
Reptangles is the only toy where two pieces can connect in 100+ combinations! Reptangles are construction toys that have a turtle-like shape. Reptangles help develop mathematical and geometric skills in a fun and imaginative way. Unlike a multitude of other construction toys, such as Legos and wooden blocks, Reptangles were developed in a distinct, polyhedra shape that can be used to create unique one of a kind build. Consisting of 24 pieces in a box and a starter puzzle and build guide, Reptangles is the perfect toy to keep children interested and entertained while also developing motor skills in the future.
Our objective in this science venture was to make a pendulum ride for Northwood High School that could be securely utilized by understudies. We needed to make a ride, "with a time of precisely 1.5 seconds, which will give a ride that is not too quick, not too moderate, but rather simply right" (Northwood Land Article 1). The ride couldn 't be more prominent than 75 cm, it couldn 't make an edge more prominent than 45 degrees, and distinctive quantities of individuals could be on the ride at once so we should have been ready to have diverse weights that still prove with the security capabilities. Our three theories for this venture were that adding excessively numerous individuals to the ride will make it go ease sufficiently back to achieve the objective time frame time, expanding the point by an excessive amount of will make the ride go too quick which may get individuals debilitated, and in conclusion, an expanded string length would build the period time. So as to test our speculation, we needed to figure out how to test distinctive varieties of the ride to discover which variety work. We chose to join the elements of weight, point, and string length to discover which mix of the three would make a period time of 1.5 seconds. For each of the three string lengths we picked, we balanced it to three unique weights and three distinct points. Altogether, we needed to make three information tables.
Frisbees are disk-shaped toys. They are able to fly because they utilize Newton’s Third Law and Bernoulli’s Principle. Bernoulli’s Principle states that as a moving fluid’s speed increases, its pressure decreases. Newton’s Third Law states that for every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Human technique greatly affects how well a frisbee
