Focus on electric motors

Class 9 builds and explores electric drives in physics lessons
In Class 9 physics lessons, everything revolved around electric drives and the fascinating construction of electric motors. The students had the opportunity to put theoretical knowledge into practice and build their own working electric motors.
Under the expert guidance of their physics teacher, students began learning the basics of electrical circuits and how electric motors work. The students learned how electricity and magnetism work together to create rotational motion.
After the students had understood the theoretical concepts, it was time to build their own electric motors. They were given a variety of materials, including copper wire, magnets, batteries, and sheets of wood. With great enthusiasm and commitment, they got to work and began to assemble their engines step by step.
Once the electric motors were ready, the moment of truth came. The students connected their motors to the batteries and watched with excitement as the coils began to turn. A beaming smile spread across their faces as they saw the success of their own constructions.
Building electric motors in Physics Class 9 at the International German School HCMC was not only a fun and engaging experience, but also a way for the students to improve their practical skills and deepen their understanding of the principles of physics.
Such projects encourage independent learning, teamwork and critical thinking in the students.
