| Video Discription | Make your own boat and see if you can sail it across your bath or an outdoor pool! Learn about the forces acting upon it including gravity. Remember - If you are trying these experiments at home you will need the supervision of an adult. What you will need per boat: 2 paper/polystyrene plates A paper/polystyrene cup A straw A pencil Scissors Glue Stickers and pens for decoration A bath or small pool How to do this experiment: 1. Take two paper plates and glue them together, set aside to let them dry. 2. Use a pencil to make a small hole in the side of the disposable cup 2 cm from its base. The hole should be just large enough to push the straw through. 3. Apply a liberal amount of glue to the bottom of the cup and then stick it down to the centre of the top plate. Cut the straw so it just hangs over the edge of the plate. 4. Your boat is nearly finished, it just needs some decorations. Colour it in or add stickers to the outside of the cup. Don't forget to give your ship a name! Now place your boat in a small bath or pool and fill its cup carefully. Watch as your boat happily sails off, propelled by the water from the straw. For even more fun have a race with your friends! Why does this happen? Forces that enable us to move are basically pushes and pulls. When we fill our boat with water we add weight that gravity pulls down, too much weight and your boat will sink! The water can escape down through the straw and out into the tub or pool. As the water moves out of the straw, it pushes against the water and this moves the boat forward Visit us and find out more: http://www.glasgowsciencecentre.org |
