TOPIC :
CHAPTER 6 CIRCULAR MOTION
Problem statement:
Students experiencing difficulties in visualizing concept of circular motion
especially centripetal acceleration and force. They also confusing between
horizontal and vertical components in circular motion. They are unable to
differentiate horizontal and verical equations.

Designing Steps
FERRIS WHEEL
[Link] and cut two ferris wheel template exactly same size.
[Link] a hole at the center of templates and insert popstick to join them
[Link] ice-cream sticks at the end joint of ferris wheel.
[Link] the colour paper into basket.
[Link] the baskets to the end of ferris wheel.
[Link] a stand to stabilize the ferris wheel.
[Link] informations into the basket
[Link] each basket with titles.
CAROUSEL
1. Firstly, make the base for carousel using ice cream sticks.
2. Set up the DC motor by connecting to wires and battery.
3. Make a shape as spinner using ice cream sticks
4. Glue them and make sure the attachment is strong.
5. Stick the horse cutouts on ice cream sticks
6. Switch on to spin the carousel.

Function
[Link] model will provide brief explanation about the topic.
[Link] could easily understand the concept of circular motion.
[Link] 3D model will help students to understand better about circular
motion in horizontal as well as in vertical competition.
Operation
1. For Ferris wheel, spin the wheel to change the location of baskets and
demonstrate about the forces acting on it.
2. For carousel,just switch on the circuit and demonstrate the rotating
corausel.
