The Science of it All!

Curious Minds Did You Know? The Slinky was invented and developed by American naval engineer Richard T. James in 1943. When the toys were first demonstrated at a local store, they were such a hit that the entire inventory of 400 units was sold out in under 90 minutes!

A slinky is a precompressed helical spring, which as well as being a classic toy, can also be used to demonstrate a number of science phenomenons such as the oscillation of waves.

There is some fascinating science, based on Hooke's law and gravity, behind the movement of a slinky, which is worth further investigation if you're interested.
