Lesson Plan/Activity

dizzy boat Ages: 10-14   

 


Keywords
RCX, underwater, torque, rcx

In this activity students explore the concept of torque and build a "boat" with two propellers facing opposite directions. If you spread the motors apart the boat will spin faster and if you move them in it will spin slower. A great lead up activity to the Slalom Boating Activity also in this Underwater Robotics unit.

NOTE: Use 3/16" Drive dog propellers from hobby-lobby.com
