Lou-Vee-Air: All about Hanzon Science Projects

http://Lou-Vee-Air.blogspot.com is dedicated to making it fun to learn the basics of physical science. I can't cover everything in the National Standards, or even in your school district's requrements. If you are a parent trying to enrich your child's science background, this is probably a great place for you, but you may have to get a science teacher friends to help you find some of the chemicals you'll need, or you'll have to borrow, beg or buy some things, like glassware, scientific thermometers, and a really good digital scale that works in very small units, for example in units as small as .01 grams (one centigram). That's not small enough for college science, but it's plenty small enough for us.

But wait! This is not for high powered science. It's for basic understanding, and nearly anyone has most of the stuff I'm going to recommend.

So let's go.

Here's a book that shows you how to assemble a Lou-Vee-Air(tm) AirCar using the plans I'm going to provide. You have to provide a legal size file folder - not a fancy hanging one, just a common old tan one made of stiff paper. Don't have that? Get any stiff paper you can find that's similar to a file card or a file folder, and you'll do fine.

Ger a ruler - inches and centimeters if you want, or just inches - I'm not picky.

Get some good scissors that you can get your fingers into, and that can cut file folder paper.

Get a nice ball-point pen because you will want to draw lines very hard sometimes in order to make creases so you can bend the paper easily.

A sharp pencil will help. If you have a printer with yor compter, great. If not, you'll have to find someone to print files for you.

Here's the place to get the book, which is a PDF file:
