The motion of a classical spinning test particle in the field of a weak plane
gravitational wave is studied. It is found that the characteristic dimensions
of the particle's orbit is sensitive to the ratio of the spin to the mass of
the particle. The results are compared with the corresponding motion of a
particle without spin.
