Build a zany inflatable tube dancer that uses the physics of flowing air to perform its eye-catching moves. Like the air dancers and tube men you may have seen around your town, this motorized device uses a blower motor and a fabric tube to slink, shimmy, and shake around. Assemble the model to learn about its inner mechanisms, including fan and electric circuit, complete with battery, motor, and switch. Conduct four fun additional experiments that demonstrate principles in air pressure, air flow, and aerodynamics. Make a ball float on a stream of air, practice your aim in a game of air basketball, and launch balls into the air with the air cannon. This hands-on kit brings physics to life as it demonstrates the power of air pressure at work. An eight-panel, full-color manual guides your model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.
- A hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) experiment kit, Incredible Inflatable Aero Dancer brings physics to life through experiments with a wacky, waving, wiggling tube dancer!
- Kids ages 8 and up build and decorate their very own tube dancer that stands over one foot tall when it busts a move!
- Learn about gears and circuits as you assemble the fan, complete with battery, motor, and switch.
- Conduct experiments with your tube dancer to understand air pressure, air flow, aerodynamics, and fluid dynamics.
- An 8-page, full-color manual includes straightforward scientific explanations.
- Includes links to Step-by-Step Assembly and Tips & Tricks videos.
- Entertaining, affordable, and educational purchase—great birthday gift!
Additional Activities & Challenges
Also includes fun games to further explore the scientific principles at play. Make a ball float on a stream of air, practice your aim in a game of air basketball, and launch balls into the air with the air cannon! You'll learn about concepts such as Bernoulli's principle and the Coanda effect as you do this.
