Creating Toys Inspired by Toys in Our Environment
1. Problem Statement and Raising Curiosity: Start the process with a curiosity-driven question by asking how colors are perceived by our eyes when they rotate rapidly. Encourage your students to produce solutions by asking whether they can design both a scientific experimental setup and an aesthetic spinning top using available waste materialmaterialss (CDs, ping pong balls, caps).
2. Research and Explore (Newton's Color Theory): Explain that white light actually contains all the colors of the rainbow and let them experience how primary colors combine to form intermediate colors. Have them observe the transformation of colors into white when they rapidly rotate the setup they prepared by painting a circle with these colors, and let them discover the connection between light and speed on a spinning top.
3. Elaboration (Optical Art with Mandala): Have your students paint a mandala template dominated by intermediate colors, ensuring they focus on the symmetry of patterns and the rhythmic alignment of colors. Deepen their visual perception by brainstorming how these complex patterns will create a visual illusion and an example of optical art when rotated on a spinning top.
4. Solution and Design (Engineering and Construction): To put theory into practice, have your students build their own mechanisms using waste CDs, ping pong balls, and adhesive. Guide them to discover through trial and error how to adjust the center of gravity to make the spinning top more stable and spin longer, allowing them to showcase their engineering skills.
5. Conclusion and Evaluation (STEAM Challenge Final): Test the designed products in the classroom environment and identify the models that spin the longest and offer the most impressive visual effects using a stopwatch. Have your students analyze the effects of balance, weight, and color usage on the results, and share the prepared spinning top videos with other partners on the TwinSpace portal.

🎨 The Spinning Color Wheel – Short Story
Our class made colorful paper wheels with many bright sections. When we started spinning them, something amazing happened. The colors started to mix!
Red and yellow looked like orange.
Blue and yellow became green.
Red and blue turned into purple.
And when the wheel spun very fast, all the colors looked almost white.
The teacher explained:
"When the wheel moves quickly, your eyes cannot see each color separately. The colors blend together and create new ones."
We all smiled as our spinning wheels created a magic rainbow of new colors.

As part of the eTwinning project "I LEARN LIFE SKILLS THROUGH STEAM", we made a puppet from recyclable materials: old CD or cardboard, face colored with the colors of the solar spectrum, pieces of a Kinder egg to see how the colors look when they are in motion.
Using Newton's Circle of Colors to Create Intercolours
As part of our "I Learn Life Skills Through STEAM"project, students designed their own spinning tops using recycled CDs and caps based on Newton’s color wheel principle. During the process, they blended science, math, and art to explore optics and balance. As a result, they transformed waste materials into functional toys while gaining hands-on experience in scientific concepts and creative problem-solving.
Newton'un renk çarkını taptık. hızlı çevirdiğimizde beyaz renk elde ettik. Öğrencilerimdeki coşku harikaydı ve çok eğlendiler.
Sarı, kırmızı ve mavi renklerin ana renkler olduğunu öğrendik. Bu renkleri kullanarak ara renkleri elde ettik. Turuncu, yeşil, mor...
We learned about primary and secondary colors. We colored the color wheels.
We made our toy by following the instructions. We combined art with science and mathematics. We observed that white color appeared when we spun the circle.
