Kids will explore the science behind spinning dreidels and tops, discovering concepts like rotation, friction, and inertia in action. Participants will test how design and force affect spin time in a fun challenge: Who can make their dreidel spin the longest? Just as the oil in the Hanukkah story kept burning, we’ll see how efficient energy keeps motion going!
Open to kids ages 5 - 11. Registration not required, but attendance is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis. Call or visit the library with any questions.
