Vroom (Motor Lab #1)
Students will explore different types of motors used in our everyday world. After students will review the principles of a motor and the interrelationship between electricity and magnetism, they will receive materials to design, build, and test a motor.
The Energy Coalition will send you copper wire, masking tape, sandpaper, magnets, transformers, paper clips, and wire cutters to bring this lesson to life.
