Thats class.

I used to give Juniour Cert Science Grinds and I had fantastic fun showing the the conservation of momentum with a tennis ball and sting.

Took me a while to get it set up so friction and wire elacticty didn't mess the experiment up, but I used to offer five punds to any of them that would let the tennis ball go at nose level and not flinch when it came back.

Maybe 20 kids I gave a fiver away once.
