Elevator Kit

Build your elevator and discover how things move up and down.

EGP 329

What you will learn

  • A force is a push or a pull that changes how objects move.
  • Gravity pulls objects towards the ground.
  • A motor converts electrical energy into rotational movement.
  • The string and pulley carry that movement from the motor to the car.
  • Reversing the motor reverses the direction the car travels.

In this box you will build a small elevator driven by an electric motor, then discover the science that makes it rise and fall: force, gravity, energy and motion.

Flick the switch one way and the car climbs; flick it the other and it comes back down. Then start the challenges: how many erasers can your elevator lift? And does it climb faster than it descends?

The motor winds the string to raise the car against gravity. Reverse its direction and watch the car descend.Science concept illustration

The science inside

A small motor. A real lift.

The motor winds the string to raise the car against gravity. Reverse its direction and watch the car descend.

The journey of the energy

Energy never disappears — it changes from one form into another.

  1. BatteryChemical energy
  2. MotorRotational movement
  3. Pulley and stringTransfers the motion
  4. The carRises against gravity

Try it yourself

  1. A heavier load

    Put one eraser in the car, then two, then three. Does the climbing speed change?

  2. The middle floor

    Try to stop the car exactly halfway using only the switch.

  3. Race the clock

    Count how many seconds the car takes to go up, then to come down. Which is faster, and why?

  4. A small passenger

    Design a passenger out of paper, sit them in the car, and deliver them safely to the top.

Safety rules

  • Ask an adult for help when fitting the batteries.
  • Keep fingers and hair away from the motor and string while they are turning.
  • Switch it off after playing, and remove the batteries if it will not be used for a while.
  • The kit contains small parts, so keep it away from young children.
