Abstract
In this article, we present a low-cost lab experience, enhanced by new technologies and easy to execute. The objective of the experiment is to explore the moment of inertia of a fidget spinner quantitatively. Our choice was to integrate the teaching of physics with the use of a popular toy, the fidget spinner, very popular among young people and children all over the world. There are several papers with teaching suggestions regarding the fidget spinner that have been developed recently. Various physical concepts can be demonstrated with the fidget spinner, for example, angular speed, torque, and moment of inertia. The experience developed here can be used by teachers from high schools, colleges, and universities.
