    Halloween Paper Science Experiments

    1. SPINNING SPIDERS

    Use the template to make three spinning spiders. Attach a paperclip to the ends of each one and drop from different heights or add extra weight to see how it affects the speed of the spiders fall.

    2. Magic Opening Ghost

    Carefully cut around the ghost shape and fold up the head, arms and legs. Place the folded paper ghost in a little water and watch as it springs open! This clever science trick works because the paper is made up of fibres which expand as they absorb water.

    3. Pumpkin Shadow Puppet

    Cut around the pumpkin shape and make cute pumpkin shadows on a wall. You’ll need a torch or light source for this activity. Try moving the torch towards the shadow puppet and then further away to investigate what happens to the shadow.
