    Got it first time, thank goodness, Ben said he couldn't do it in class, trick is to use a slippery hard bottomed pie plate.

    The egg is easier than the lemon, you should try the spinning egg trick with a hard boiled egg and a raw one.

      Thanks Bens mum, it sure is a lot of fun. I have added your link to our Forces links. We are moving on to Newtons Second Law this week and trying to make a parachute for an egg!
