If a sailboat is stranded because there is no wind, is it possible to set up a fan on deck and blow wind into the sail to make the boat move?

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this activity, learners create a marble maze that contains sensors. As a metal marble triggers the sensors, the Pico Cricket turns on lights or spins motors.

In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.
