However, you can experience the Coriolis Effect directly for yourself.
1. Find a playground roundabout.
2. Climb aboard and scoot it up to as good a speed as you can.
3. Haul yourself towards the centre (noting as you do, the increase in speed of rotation due to conservation of angular momentum [/hint])
4. Attempt to kick the hub with a big swing of your foot (laughter at this point is optional but most recommended)
Repeat steps 2 - 4 scooting the roundabout in the opposite direction. Note the difference in the kick attempts.
