Have science fun as a family! Complete activities with parental supervision.

Materials:

Thick paper or thin cardboard (cereal, cracker or tissue boxes work well)

Yarn or thick string

5 large beads (ex: plastic pony beads)

2 straws

Scissors

Tape

Pencil

Procedure

1. Trace a hand onto cardboard and cut it out.

2. Cut straws into 1-inch pieces (or 1/2 inch if you have a small hand!).

3. Using the tape, attach the straw pieces to the hand (see top image).

4. Crease the cardboard in between the straws - these will simulate your joints (see red lines on top image).

5. Cut five 12-inch pieces of yarn and tie a bead to the end of each.

6. Thread each piece of yarn through the straw pieces, starting with the fingertips and ending at the palm of your hand. Each finger should be controlled by one string.

7. Use the strings together or independently to control the movement of each of the fingers. Congrats on your new robot hand!

8. Be sure to take a picture to share in the Facebook comments on the Buffalo Museum of Science or Tifft Nature Preserve pages!
