DIY – Making an Hovercraft using balloon and CD
A hovercraft also called an air-cushion vehicle (ACV) is used to travel over water and land. A hovercraft suspended above the water on a cushion of air ejected downwards against a surface below it. This gives the hovercraft the ability to hover
Build a Cardboard Tube Rocket
Rockets are used to launch satellites and Space Shuttles into space. Their powerful engines allow spacecraft to be blasted into space at incredible speeds, putting them into the correct orbit. Cardboard tubes can be turned into all sorts of crafts. Rockets are
Build a Tangram Rocket – DIY Experiment
A tangram is a classic Chinese puzzle consisting of pieces that can be recombined into many different shapes and figures. Traditionally, Tangrams are treated as puzzles. There are many ways to play with Tangrams. In this activity, we will let the kids
Making a Sundial Clock – DIY Project
