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:


  1. Let them create the wings on their own and figure out which works best.
  2. They can use hard paper, regular paper, or cardboard to make the wings.
  3. Try using fewer or more wheels than 4 for the car to balance it after it lands from flying.

Questions to be asked:


  1. How does your gliding car move without an engine?
  2. What shape and size do you think would be best for the car and its wings to make it a good gliding car?
  3. Why do you think the car doesn't stay in the air for a longer time?
