Check out the slinky drop video on one of our favorite blogs, www.Veritasium.com. If you aren’t familiar with Veritasium, it’s a science video blog that presents and tests ideas related to atoms, inertia, gravity and force in a very clear and entertaining manner. It is a free resource for students and teachers with experiments that you can try at home or if more complex in nature, they at least provide worthwhile viewing.  So check out the video and see if you can correctly guess how the slinky will drop…  You’ll be surprised!
