Physics KIWI Kit from Nana Ann!

My Mom sent AA a project kit based on Physics from Kiwi Company. This one had projects relating to centrifugal force. 
AA built a motor with several resistors to change the speed of the motor. This was used to spin paint with the centrifugal force, spinning art. She also made a centrifugal pump with a straw. A straw fountain that did pump water out the straw, flinging it every where in our kitchen. With this kit, you do have to provide some of the supplies, like the drinking straw, tape, ping pong ball, wine glass, etc. 

Building the spinning box and motor to show the centrifugal force on the paint:
Making the straw fountain - pumping water with centrifugal force:
Directions, easy to follow:
Ping pong ball trick - pick up the ball inside the upside down wine glass. It worked once, have to get in a perfect rotations rhythm for it to work.
Great gift! Thank you to Nana of the North!
