How Do You Use Tin Can Metal In Science Projects?
Tin cans make good green science project supplies that can be used beyond the life of the project, taking recycling to its fullest. Students can learn about energy storage, range-in-motion and small motors by using recyclable tin cans and a few common building tools, such as nuts, bolts and washers. They also can learn the value of recycling old metal to experiment, learn and create with. Use a can opener to poke a hole at the tip of the large can, just along the side. Poke another hole in the same place on the smaller can. Sand the holes with the sand or emery paper and attach them with a bolt fastened by a nut. The large can is the body and the small can is the head. Drill two small holes close together at the end of the large can and place a bolt through one hole, allowing it to stick out for the tail. Fasten the bolt with a nut. Hook the end of the extension spring through the second hole and wrap it around the bolt. Now you have the tail. Glue the caster wheels on for the legs to
