Build Your Own Simple Electric Motor Kits
Discover what it takes to design and engineer a working motor using wires and magnets!
Expand lessons by creating and using electromagnets to build simple motors. Students use these sets to determine what happens when they alter coils in motors and change the thickness of wires. They also explore what happens when they use magnets of different shapes, sizes, and strength. Teacher’s manual includes lesson plans and background information about projects. Reproducible worksheets and sample data guide students through four experiments and protocols. Activity Kit is ideal for small groups of 1 to 4 students, while the Class Kit gets up to 24 students involved in the discussion. D Batteries required (not included). Recommended for Upper Elementary and up.
