Use common materials to explore buoyancy and power! Design a working electric motor boat with this activity. Find your hull in the recycling bin (milk jug, foam tray, pool noodles, etc.). Add the motor, propeller and other components. Set it in the water and watch it go. Learn through experimentation and tinkering. Evolve your boat through the engineering design process. This activity features Mini Hub Assemblies that allow you to create unique propellers by changing blade shape, angle and number.

This educational product pairs well with the Chapter 1 activity featured in The Power of the Wind Curriculum and is suitable for all ages, however youth 12 and under may require adult supervision.
