Could you turn the experiment on its side and suspend the rotor using a thread?

What reading have you been doing about building simple DC motors? Have you learned about using a commutator yet?

we havent been doing them in class he just gave us this assigment as a extra thing to do over the winter break. and no i havent learned about a commutator

Well, you should do some Google searching for simple DC motor projects to be sure you get some important things right. What you sketched so far will not work.
