Beakman's Electric Motor
Figure: Motor1.gif
I saw this on the TV show Beakman's World and I was very impressed that you could actually build a working electric motor with so few parts. I built one and brought it to work where it was a big hit with all the engineers around here. This writeup was for a friend of mine who wanted instructions that his son could follow for a science fair project. So, if you missed the show, here's how to build one.

Building an Incubator
An incubator for a science project need not be as elaborately constructed as a commercial incubator. One can be made from cardboard boxes and glass and the other from plywood (or similar material) and glass.
Don't expect 100 percent success in hatching eggs in these or any other incubators. Commercial hatcheries with all their highly automatic and specialized equ ...

ELECTRICITY
Part 2: Homemade circuit equipment
EQUIPMENT NEEDED: thumb tacks, wood blocks, wire, clothespins, tape
ACTIVITY:
Make the use of each battery more convenient by simply taping a piece of wire onto each end.
Make a switch by thumb tacking down pieces of wire to a block of wood.
Make a bulb holder by taping a clothespin down to a block of wood with a piece of wire thumbtacked as indicated, and a second wire taped to the clothespin where it will touch the bulb's side.
CONNECTIONS: This is how any household circuit works!

LIGHTNING ROD
Background
It too much electrical energy flows through objects they can overheat and cause fires. Since electrical current prefers the path of least resistance, we can easily protect our homes from the energy in lightning.
Materials Needed
2 batteries in holders
1 breadboard
2 light bulbs 3 wires with washers
1 paper clip
push pins paper
pencil
tape
Procedure
1. Cut a lightning bolt out of paper.
2. Build the simple circuit with 2 light bulbs in series. ...

SERIES CIRCUIT
Background
Light bulbs are said to be in series when they are in the same loop or circuit. All of the light bulbs share the available electrical energy equally.
Materials Needed
1 breadboard
2 batteries in holders
2 wires with washers
3 light bulbs
push pins
Procedure
1. Connect up the simple circuit with 2 batteries. Light the lamp.
2. Now replace the single light bulb by three in a row. Another way to say this is that the 3 lights are in series. What happ ...

Cut a piece off one corner of the Styrofoam tray, as the picture shows. You'll have a long bent piece that looks a little like a hockey stick.
Tape the bent piece to the center of the pie tin. Now you have a handle!
Now--very slowly--touch the tip of your finger to the pie tin. Wow! What a spark! (Be careful. DON'T touch th ...

Solar School Activity Sheet
Batteries and Electric Cars
Introduction
Petrol-powered vehicles are a major source of the gases that cause global warming. Other gases released from vehicle exhausts also cause other problems, such as asthma attacks in children. By changing to electrically powered cars (especially those that are powered from renewable resources), the quality of our environment would improve, especially in our cities. However, the range of electric cars is limited by the nee ...

Shorter and stockier than its cousin the horse, the zebra is distinguished by bold, alternating, black (or dark brown) and white stripes. Zebra stripes are like human fingerprints -- no two zebras have the same stripe pattern, which makes it easy for scientists to identify individuals. This makes it possible to study why individual zebras, like individual people, behave differently from one another.
Zebras have been known to spend the entire day eating grass in order to get the nutrition they ...
