Metal Slinky

Traditional style slinky for demonstrating sound wave travel and formation.

Overview

  • Students need a way to grasp complex scientific concepts in a tangible way. The metal slinky, made from flat section tempered steel wire and extending up to five metres, is an excellent tool for this purpose. It explains sound waves, wave formation, and gravity visually, enhancing engagement and understanding.

  • In Year 5 science, teachers can use it to demonstrate how unsupported objects fall towards Earth due to gravitational force. Its ability to show wave motion also supports lessons on sound waves, making abstract ideas clearer.

  • Aligned with the UK curriculum, the metal slinky supports STEM education by providing practical applications for science experiments. Its durable construction ensures it withstands repeated use, making it a reliable addition to any science teaching toolkit.

Supports the National Curriculum

Science, Year 5, Forces

Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object.

Science, Year 4, Sound

Recognise that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear.
