MAIN-iac Science Lab explores different scientific concepts, cool inventors and more. In this week’s program we will learn about hovercrafts! What is a hovercraft and how does it work? Can I make one? Yes! After a brief lesson, we’ll show you how to build your own mini toy hovercraft.

Materials needed:

Adult supervision – this is science after all

A pop top lid from a water bottle (the kind that pops up and down to open and close)
an old CD or DVD you don’t mind gluing things to
quick drying glue
a medium size balloon
a clothes pin or similar clip
a smooth surface for testing your hovercraft
