Fan Boats Class Kit

Fan Boat Kit

A cross-curricular STEM class kit for 30 pupils to each design, build, test and improve their very own fan-driven model boat.

Allowing your students to apply their knowledge of electricity, materials and forces. The fan boat uses a simple series circuit mounted on a polystyrene foam base. Comprehensive supporting literature includes lesson plan, PowerPoint, student workbook, question sheet, ‘how to’ blog and video.

This project is great fun, incorporating a wealth of science and DT learning opportunities. Here is a quote from a head teacher: ‘Absolutely brilliant! The children's squeals of delight when they launched their boats was a moment not to be missed. The children said they had 'the best day ever'. They were talking about streamlining and modifying their models and were obviously gripped by the experience.’
