Build a Brush Motor!
This kit will give students a hands-on experience with STEM, with a focus on the Technology and Engineering aspects. With this kit, students will learn:
-
How a brush motor works and apply that information to use the included pieces to build their own working brush motor.
-
They will then use it to measure voltage, amperage and resistance.
-
Students can also wire another battery in parallel or series and see how this effects these values by graphing them.
-
Find the best combination of 4 batteries to lift a pencil using a string attached to the shaft.
Students will receive firsthand experience with STEM. Students will come out with their very own basic brush motor that can be continuously experimented with to bring more functionality!
