Develop students interest on how things work by letting them take old appliances apart.
What you need:
screwdrivers
pliers
old appliances (E.g. radio, toaster, toys, bike, torch, hairdryer or record player.)
large working table
Safety is always a priority. Cut off power cords before students
work on the appliances.
What to do:
Display appliances as a technology project in your class. On a separate table students can take apart some appliances and check out for themselves what's on the inside. All the odd components can be used by the students to make a special work of art. The parts could be turned into a robot or a super machine of some kind.
This project is suitable for all ages under strict supervision.
