Uberstix Science Project Series: Sailboat

Reward Kids for Recycling

Set sail on an imaginative construction kit. This kit uses recycled water bottles that you provide to build an actual working sailboat. Water bottles make it float, the wind makes it sail.

Made from recycled materials like straws and popsicle sticks, the components of this building kit are both earth-friendly and kid-friendly. Kids use their understanding of physics and mathematics to build exciting creations, from towers and tools to bridges and boats. Highly flexible and sturdy links, crossbeams, and connecting panels interlock to form rigid structures that are easy to assemble.

The UberStix products are engineered to work with existing building kits like, Lego and K'NEX as well as your own recycled materials, like paper clips and plastic cups, so you can create anything you can imagine. Includes a 3-4 hour lesson plan and lab sheet that teaches the basics of sailing and the function of the keel and rudder.
