Description
How do you set up a spinning experiment that doesn’t break your brain or your bank yet still tells you what you want to know? The answer is that you set it up very intentionally and with lots of attention to detail. Don’t let that deter you; it’s actually quite simple and doesn’t take too much time or fiber. You’ll start by coming up with an objective question and making it very specific, then defining and confining the materials and techniques you’ll be using, and finally you’ll do the experiment and measure the results.
