- This project demonstrates electromagnetic induction by using a hand-cranked generator (left) to produce electricity.
- The generated current travels through wires to power a small electric motor (right), which spins a red propeller.
- It visually shows how mechanical energy (turning the crank) is converted into electrical energy, then back into mechanical energy (spinning the fan).
- The blue base provides structural support and represents water or a platform for the system.
- This simple setup illustrates core physics principles suitable for 6th-grade science fairs: energy conversion, circuits, and electromagnetism.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of 6th grade projects.
