                                                      Automatic Coin Sorting Machine
                      In this activity, you will create a cardboard model that automatically sorts coins based on their

                      size using a simple motor-based vibration system.
                      Materials Required:

                         Cardboard              Battery               Wires               Switch            DC motor

                         Bolt                   Glue stick            Scissors            Marker            Coins

                      Follow the given steps to build a automatic coin sorting machine:

                       STEP - 1    Collect materials: battery, wires, switch, DC motor and
                                   cardboard sheets.

                                                    STEP - 2    Connect  the battery,  switch  and DC motor  using wires to
                                                                make the circuit. Attach one bolt on the top of the motor.

                       STEP - 3    Make a small cardboard box to hold the circuit and fix the motor
                                   inside it.

                                                    STEP - 4    Create four cardboard pillars and attach them to the corners
                                                                of the circuit box for support.

                       STEP - 5    Make  a top  container  to drop  the  coins. Below  it,  cut  three
                                   coin-sized  holes in a cardboard  slide  that  leads  to four-coin
                                   containers placed according to coin size.

                                                   STEP - 6    Complete the structure of the project as shown in the given
                                                                image.  Then,  switch  on the circuit.  The motor  vibrates  the
                                                                structure  and the  coins  slide  down, sorting  themselves  into
                                                                the correct containers by size.
