10/5/2020 7 Comments Elevator Energy ActivityBy Sanjana Kambhamettu and Vishista chittalooru
In this lesson, we will be learning how to make a functioning elevator in order to learn about energy, how it works, and the different types of it. Our recommended age group for this project is 7-10 years old, however, all ages are welcome!
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- A small-medium cardboard box, like a shoe box (the width should be the length of a wooden pencil)
- Extra Cardboard - Standard wooden pencil - Tape - Yarn/Medium size thread(not thin) - Scissors - Pencil for tracing - Optional: Coloring Supplies HOW TO
Step 1: Cut the lid off of your box, if your box has one.
Step 2: Mark two holes the width of your pencil on both sides of your upright box, about an inch from the top. Step 3: Cut out the holes and insert your pencil through it. Step 4: Cut strong string that is about double the length of your box. Estimated measurements of the string, based on a shoe box: 30 inches long. Step 5: Wrap the string around your pencil and secure it tightly with tape, with both ends hanging down. We will come back to this later. Step 6: Measure the width of the shorter side of your box, and add 2 inches. Now, cut a strip of cardboard, either from another sheet or the discarded lid. The dimensions of this strip should be about 3 inches by the length that you calculated earlier. Estimated measurements based on a shoe box: 3” by 6” Step 7: Mark 1” from both sides on the strip with a pencil, and fold the flaps along that line. This is your elevator. Step 8: Place the strip of cardboard on the base of the box, flaps facing up. Step 9: Revisit the string that we had hung from the pencil, and tape it securely to the sides of your makeshift elevator. Step 10: Slowly twist your pencil to make your elevator move up and down. You now have a working elevator! THE LESSON
In this session, we will be exploring the concept of energy. This includes learning about the law of conservation of energy, which is an important principle in science, along with the the 2 main categories of energy, and the subsections. During this, we will be creating a 3-D model elevator to demonstrate the power of electricity, which takes energy, in our world today. This connection between the concepts and the real life application will allow for students to deepen their critical thinking skills and allow for more in depth realizations. You can find the science explanations and a picture of the craft below!
