The Exploratorium aims to bring science and math enrichment activities into out-of-school time.
In this activity, you’ll make a Jitterbug, a motorized toy that seems to dance, using a recycled CD and a DC motor.
The same thing that makes your washing machine walk also makes your Jitterbug shimmy: an unbalanced load.
With Video Instructions, downloadable instructions and lesson plans make integrating science in afterschool a snap!
