Newton's Cradle

A fascinating combination of science, movement and sensory play, Newton’s Cradle is a classic desk toy that's difficult to resist.

Lift and release one of the metal balls and watch as the energy travels through the row, sending the ball at the opposite end swinging into motion. The repeated movement provides a simple visual demonstration of momentum, energy transfer and the laws of physics.

The smooth, repetitive swinging and gentle clicking sound can also provide an engaging visual and auditory sensory experience. Its predictable movement may appeal to people who enjoy repetitive or rhythmic sensory input and can provide a quiet point of focus during downtime.

Compact enough for a desk, bedside table or activity area, it makes an interesting educational tool, sensory item or gift for children and adults.
