2 Red and Black alligator clip wires

Macaroni and Cheese box

DC Motor

Propeller

Cut the macaroni box so it opens, glue the 9V connector, and cut out a hole for the switch.

Attach the 9V Battery.

Poke a hole so that the tip of the motor fits through.

On the other side, attach the propeller onto the motor.

Attach a red alligator clip wire to the red wire of the 9V connector and to a metal of the switch.

Attach a black alligator clip wire onto the black wire of the connector and to one metal part of the motor.

Wrap a magnet in aluminum foil.

Attach a black alligator clip wire to the end of the aluminum foil, and the other end to the other metal part of the motor.

Use a large piece of aluminum foil and attach a red alligator clip wire to it. Attach the other end of the alligator clip wire to the other metal part of the switch.

Tape the magnet near the top.

Stuff all the wires into the macaroni box without detaching anything and tape up the sides.

Use the electric tape to attach the foil to the top of the box. After you've done this, turn on the switch and place a metal thing onto of the foil. See your fan spin!
