What goes up and down without moving-?
The answer to this riddle is "a staircase". Of course the staircase does not actually move up and down, but when you refer to a staircase directionally, you are either going "up the stairs" or "down the stairs". Its function in and of itself is to "go" up and down.
How does a slinky work?
The Slinky, like all objects, tends to resist change in its motion. Because of this inertia, if it were placed at the top of the stairs it would stay at rest without moving at all. At this point it has potential or stored energy. But once it is started down the stairs and gravity affects it, the potential energy is converted to the energy of motion or kinetic energy and the Slinky gracefully tumbles coil by coil down the stairs.The physical properties of the slinky determine how quickly it moves under the influence of gravity. Although its movement may look simple, from a scientific point of view the motion is quite complex. As the slinky moves down the steps, energy is transferred along its length in a longitudinal or compressional wave, which resembles a sound wave that travels through a substance by transferring a pulse of energy to the next molecule. How quickly the wave moves depends on the spring constant and the mass of the metal. Other factors, such as the length of the slinky, the diameter of the coils and the height of the step must be considered to completely understand why a slinky moves as it does.

What can you do with a slinky?
well, i will tell two tricks. the first one i call the mid-flip. Hold the top and bottom sides of the slinky, pull the top side. In mid-pull let go of the slinky and possibly 5 milliseconds after try to catch the slinky. And number two, is call the boomerang. Hold the bottom of the slinky throw or push the top away from you. (Don't let go!) if done correctly the slinky will pull back to you.
