Gliding Cart
Children build carts using cardboard and bottle caps, then glide them down from heights. Through this activity, they explore gravity, motion, friction, and balance in a fun and practical way.
Materials :
- Cardboard
- Masking Tape
- Bottle Cap
- Straw
- Sausage Stick
- Scissor
- Paper Cup
- Pebbles
- Double-Sided Tape (Thick)
- Colorful Paper (A4 Thick)
Challenges:
- Let them create the wings on their own and figure out which works best.
- They can use hard paper, regular paper, or cardboard to make the wings.
- Try using fewer or more wheels than 4 for the car to balance it after it lands from flying.
Questions to be asked:
- How does your gliding car move without an engine?
- What shape and size do you think would be best for the car and its wings to make it a good gliding car?
- Why do you think the car doesn't stay in the air for a longer time?
