Tamiya 70163 Submarine Motor with Float: A Hands-On STEM Learning Kit

The Tamiya 70163 Submarine Motor with Float offers a practical introduction to basic mechanics and buoyancy concepts. Designed as part of Tamiya's STEM series, this kit provides an engaging way for young enthusiasts and hobbyists to explore scientific principles through hands-on assembly and experimentation.

Kit Components and Functionality

This kit includes a submarine motor and a styrofoam float, providing a straightforward setup for understanding the dynamics of propulsion and buoyancy. The motor is designed to be assembled, allowing users to gain insight into its working mechanism. The float, measuring 170x100 mm, serves as a stable platform for the motor, facilitating experiments in water environments.

Practical Application and Learning Potential

Ideal for children interested in STEM topics, this kit encourages exploration of how motors can be used in aquatic settings. It requires one R6/AA/UM3 battery (not included), making it easy to power and operate. This setup is particularly suitable for supervised educational activities, where learners can observe the effects of propulsion in real-time.
