Science Kit – Vacuum Cleaner
Discover the power created by air pressure differentials and build your own homemade vacuum cleaner

Even if our house is very clean, we will always find quite a bit of dust on the furniture or inside the upholstery of sofas and carpets. Dust is composed of small particles of sand, pollen, plant parts, and more that float in the air, land on furniture, and sometimes cause us to sneeze and cough. So what do we do? We vacuum!

Your Very Own Vacuum Cleaner!
Want to know how dirt and dust are sucked into a vacuum cleaner? Let’s learn and build a vacuum cleaner, part by part: from preparing the battery pack and assembling the motor, to preparing the bottle that will serve as a storage container, and assembling the handle. This way, we will understand how the vacuum cleaner works and also enjoy a cleaner house.
How does it work?
The suction action in a vacuum cleaner is based on the differences created in air pressure between different places and on the scientific fact that air always flows from a place where air pressure is high to a place where air pressure is low. When we turn on the power switch on the vacuum cleaner you built, a fan will be activated to push air out, outside of the bottle that serves as a storage container. When there is less air in the bottle, the air pressure inside it decreases, so the external air is drawn into it, along with all the dust and crumbs near the bottle's opening.

Science Kit Contents:
Instruction sheet, battery pack, paper body and handles, propeller, power switch, motor, conductive wires, plug, and double-sided tape.
* To operate the vacuum, you must have 2 AA 1.5V batteries, which are not included.

Dear Parents!
The Vacuum Cleaner science kit allows your children to understand the operating principles of the common household appliance, learn the physical significance of air pressure equalization, and gain experience in a multi-stage assembly process that develops procedural thinking.

Detailed instructions for building and assembling a vacuum cleaner are included.
