Build a Motorboat

 Things you need:

·         2-liter plastic soda bottle, clean, with cap on

·         2 chopsticks, 26cm. long

·         Duct tape

·         2 plastic spoons

·         Scissors

·         Hot glue gun and glue

·         Strong rubber band

·         Waterproof markers

·         Nickels

Instructions:

1.        Using duct tape attach the chopsticks lengthwise along the outside of the bottle, on opposite sides.  They need to stick out 10-12cm.

2.        Cut off the handles of the plastic spoons, leave 2.5cm of the handle below the round part.

3.        Ask an adult to glue the spoon stems together with hot glue.  Make sure the round part of one spoon faces up and the other faces down.  This will be your boat’s paddle.

4.        Wrap the rubber band around both ends of the chopsticks until it is snug.

5.        Insert the spoon through the rubber band.  Ask an adult to glue the center of the spoons to the rubber band.

6.        Decorate the bottle with markers.

7.        Wind the paddle until the rubber band is stretched as far as it will go building up potential energy.

8.        Put the boat in the bathtub.  

9.        Let go of the paddle allowing the kinetic energy to flow.

Watch your boat zoom away!

 Now place some coins inside your boat and try again.  Did it make a difference?  How many coins can your boat hold and still move forward?

Build it differently!

Use a milk jug, juice carton, smaller bottle or soda can.

Change the size of the spoons.

Use dowels, pencils, or paint sticks instead of chopsticks.

Put Lego inside.
