To make this you will require a straw, paper cut out with card stock, glue and 2 to 6 meters of string. Thread the string through the straws as shown. Hang the string on the hanger and tie a knot with the straws at the two ends as shown. Hang the hanger on the top of the door or if you have shorter amount of string put it around the door knob. Now hold the two ends of the string and pull them alternately. Slowly, you will see the spider climb up the string. Pull one string down and out, then pull the other string down and out. Keep repeating with each hand. Here you can see the climb in slow motion. Science behind this is when we pull down and out, we cause tension with some friction. When we pull the string into the middle or not pulling down the spider will fall as we now have release the tension and friction. See how many pulls it takes to get to the top of the door? Try something different then a spider, a bird or a cat or dog. If you are using a hanger then you will need to measure the string to be twice the door height. If you are using the door knob then you will need twice the amount of string from the floor to the door knob. I use kite string and any size straw. As for my cut out spider. I drew it and it measurements are: 7 inches (17 cm) by 4inches (10cm) Straws glued on back of spider are 1 inch (3 cm) apart Try to use longer straws to see if the spider will climb faster? What happens if your straws are farther apart? Let me know if you have any questions thanks for watching
