Objective
The objective of this project is to build a simple hand-powered fan using basic materials such as popsicle sticks, bottle caps, and a rubber band. This activity aims to teach students about basic mechanics, energy transfer, and the principles of rotational motion.
Scientific interpretation
In this project, you will learn about the principles of rotational motion and energy transfer. By creating a fan that spins, you will see how potential energy stored in a twisted rubber band can be converted into kinetic energy, causing the fan blades to rotate. This demonstrates how energy can be transferred and transformed to perform work.
