The Motor Project |
While studying about basic electricity and electrical circuits students, build their own D.C. motor. The materials used include:
- common household wire
- screws
- paperclips
- sheet metal
- magnet wire
- two small ring magnets
Their goal is to get the motor spinning in one direction for 60 seconds. There is a special emphasis on this project on "problem solving."
