The secret of the best stone
Do you love skipping stones(打水漂) across the water? Then, you must have heard that the best skipping stone is flat(扁平的), thin and small enough to hold in one hand. But now scientists say a heavier one, but no heavier than a tennis ball, is also good.
That's because... When a heavier stone hits the water, a bigger part of it goes under the water, so it gets a stronger push from the water.
★Top tips:1. Find the right stone. 2. Flat, smooth water is the best, like a lake or a pool. 3. Don't throw it hard. Instead, try to throw quickly. 4. Turn the stone around quickly when you throw it. 5. The best angle(角度) to skip the stone is 20 degrees.
★The best way to hold a stone:
Hold the stone between your thumb and middle finger. Put your index finger around the edge(边缘) of the stone.
Relax and enjoy the simple pleasure of watching stones dance across the water's surface. And till now, the biggest number of skips of a stone on the water is 88.
