Ever since that infamous bottle flipping video earlier this year,Privacy policy it seems flipping bottles around is all the kids are doing now.

Now the kids are learning about probability, fractions and percentages while bottle flipping, and they're enjoying it too.

"They were into it. Some of them asked if they could stay in at lunchtime to keep doing it," she told the news outlet.

"I got emails at night from kids who had gone home and done it again and they've sent me their graphs that they've created electronically.

"I think that's when you know you've hit a good learning experience, when they don't realise they're learning and they want to keep doing it."

See? Even the most flippantof trends has some kind of educational benefit...eventually.
