Make sure you get your parent's and friend's help on this one!
You will need:
1) 2 battery pads
2) Masking tape
3) A D cell battery (1.5 V)
4) A small elastic band
5) A DC motor (1.5 V, no wider than 22 mm)
6) Glue
7) Scissors
8) Wire (24 gauge, double strand)
9) An empty 2 litre (2L) plastic drink bottle
10) A utility knife
11) A bottle cork
12) A Popsicle stick (Ice cream stick) 
Instructions:
1. Get your parents to cut a hole in the side of the 2L plastic drink bottle. Make sure it is big enough for the battery and motor to fit through. Cover the rough edges with tape. Place the battery and motor inside the bottle. Glue the battery in place.
2. Slide the motor inside the neck of the bottle. The narrow end of the motor must point out. Put some glue around the outside of the motor to hold it in place. Don't apply glue on the narrow end of the motor, or it will not spin.
3. Cut a slice of bottle cork 1 cm thick and push it onto the shaft of the motor.
4. Glue the Popsicle stick onto the cork. Leave the glue to dry. The stick will act as the propeller. If the boat bounces, trim the Popsicle stick.
5. Now you have your very own Remote Boat!
