Build a Simple Electric Motor | Science Project

Build a simple electric motor with just a battery, magnet, paper clips, and coil of wire in this fun science experiment! A kit is available with most of the parts you need for the experiment (some parts must be purchased separately, see written instructions): https://www.homesciencetools.c....om/product/electric-
Written instructions are available on the Science Buddies website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org..../science-fair-projec

To purchase the materials individually (note: these are affiliate links. All proceeds help support Science Buddies, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and help us keep our resources free for everyone):

- Small neodymium magnets, approximately 1/4" or 6mm in diameter: https://amzn.to/2Wytg6n
- Enamel-coated magnet wire (exact gauge is not critical): https://amzn.to/2EJfEuW
- D batteries: https://amzn.to/2QBL1wb
- Jumbo metal paper clips (not plastic coated): https://amzn.to/30WO5Yj
- Electrical tape (other types of tape will work): https://amzn.to/2W1FwYw
- Fine-grit sandpaper: https://amzn.to/2QxCpqq

Note: there is a small typo at 0:40 in the video. That should be 3 *cm* (centimeters) of wire, not m (meters)!

Science Buddies also hosts a library of instructions for over 1,000 other hands-on science projects, lesson plans, and fun activities for K-12 parents, students, and teachers! Visit us at http://www.sciencebuddies.org to learn more.
