Play with pencil
Please do what Shanthi did...
1. Shanthi took a pencil and sharpened it with a sharpener.
2. Then she drew a circle using the pencil and a compass.
3. Later she took her ruler (scale) and drew a straight line in another paper.
4. Then she kept the pencil between her finger and moved it back and forth.

Now, look at the motion of the pencil in all these four cases. How was it?
1. In the first case, the pencil rotated in its axis.
2 . In the second case, it went in a circle.
3. In the third case, the pencil travelled in a straight line.
4. Fourth case, the pencil tip moved back and forth, that is it oscillated like a swing.

Let us play a small game. Go to the playground with your friends. Mark 100 metre distance for a race. Conduct a friendly running race and calculate the time they taken to complete the distance by stopwatch. Now fill up the following table.

Compute the following Numerical Problems.
1. If you travel 10 kilometres in 2 hours, your speed is $5 \mathrm{~km}$ per hour. ( $10 \mathrm{~km} / 2$ hours)
2. If you travel 15 kilometres in $1 / 2$ hour, you would travel $30 \mathrm{~km}$ in one hour, and your speed is $30 \mathrm{~km}$ per hour. (15 km $\times$ $2 / 1$ hours)
3. If you run fast at 20 kilometres per hour for 2 hours, you will cover $40 \mathrm{~km}$. (20 km $\times 2$ hours)

Simple Spinner
Let us enjoy by making a simple spinner. Make it by the following instruction.
Cut a $2 \mathrm{~cm}$ long piece from an old ball-pen refill and make a hole in its center with a divider point (Fig 1).

Take a thin wire of length $9 \mathrm{~cm}$ and fold it into a U-shape (Fig 2).
Weave the refill spinner in the U-shaped wire (Fig 3).
Wrap the two ends of the wire on the plastic refill, leaving enough clearance for the spinner to rotate (Fig 4).
On blowing through the refill, the spinner rotates (Fig 5 ).
For obtaining maximum speed - adjust the wires so that air is directed towards the ends of the spinner.
