Guides
Car racing in the physics classroom
To motivate my students and teach them about simple machines, electricity, experimental variables, the laws of motion and the scientific method, I developed a car-racing project, spanning the topics of the entire first block of a standard textbook for ninth-grade (aged 15) physical science in the USA (Hsu, 2005). Teams should compete to construct the fastest car, using the knowledge gained in lessons. I felt that the usual textbook activities were too constrained: the students followed instructions as if baking a cake. I wanted to make them reason and think. The project was a complete success: not only did the students gain a deep understanding of the subjects, but their enthusiasm was strong and infectious.
Build and learn to fly a foam-board remote-controlled plane
Aeromodelling is the art of designing, building, and flying model airplanes, helicopters, and multicopters. These models may be powered or unpowered. Powered aeromodels use electric motors, IC engines, or jet engines to generate thrust to make them fly. Flying models borrow construction techniques from full-size aircraft. Model aircrafts are built using a variety of materials including paper, foam board, depron, balsa wood, coroplast sheets, or composite materials like fiberglass or carbon fiber.
How to Build a Model of a House Out of Cardboard
Model houses made from cardboard offer an easy-to-construct and inexpensive alternative to wooden or resin models. Quick to build, a cardboard model house requires little more than scissors and glue to complete and can even be made by young children. Model houses are available in a variety of scales and designs from single-room farmhouses to large dollhouse types, and many come available in a template that you can print out yourself on thin cardboard, creating a sturdy model house that's suitable for anything from war gaming to ornamentation.
