Hovercraft Build Kit
Hovercraft Build Box – Explore Physics with Balloon Power!
Get ready to glide into STEM learning with the ThinkeryBox Hovercraft Build Kit! In this hands-on project, kids build their own mini hovercraft using a CD, balloon, and simple parts. When the balloon inflates and releases air through the CD’s center, the hovercraft lifts and glides smoothly across flat surfaces — a powerful, visual way to explore real science concepts.
🧪 What Kids Learn:
-
Friction: Discover how reducing contact with the surface helps the hovercraft float and move effortlessly.
-
Air Pressure: See how pressurized air under the CD creates lift and motion.
-
Motion: Observe Newton’s laws in action as air pushes the hovercraft forward.
-
Inertia: Explore how objects resist changes in motion — until air flow sets them in motion!
Perfect for ages 5+, the Hovercraft Build Box includes all materials, clear instructions, and a science activity guide. It’s a fun, interactive way to turn curious kids into confident thinkers.
