This video shows how to build a model mass driver, also called a coilgun, controlled by an Arduino. Mass drivers could be used to launch payloads into space with electromagnets instead of chemical rockets. There are many variables you can change in your mass driver for a science or engineering project, like the power supply, coil geometry, or drive electronics. Written instructions, including a materials list, circuit diagram, and working example code are available on the Science Buddies…
This video shows what you can do by adding an Arduino to your Science Buddies Bluebot Kit. The Bluebot Kit introduces students to robotics and electronics without requiring a computer or any programming. Adding an Arduino to your kit allows your robot to perform more complex behaviors. Kits (Arduino not included) are available for purchase at https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/bluebot-4-in-1-educational-robotics-kit/?aff=SB1. Instructions for the Bluebot projects, including wiring…

Have you ever wondered how predators, like wolves, lions, and hawks, are able to find their prey? And what can an animal do to stay off of a hunter's menu? To survive, some animals have developed specific camouflage tactics to fool their predators. One strategy some animals use is to look very similar to other animals that are poisonous or that the predator doesn't like to eat. This camouflage tactic is called mimicry. In this activity, you will find out how effective mimicry is by becoming a…
