Chemical Heat Exchange- Endo vs Exo thermic
Some chemical reactions give out heat energy, others need extra to work. Observe changes in temperature that happen with experiments and learn about exothermic and endothermic reactions.
Graph Paper Programming WIP
A fun and easy activity to introduce general programming concepts and to help anyone understand what an algorithm is using graph paper and markers.
Collapsing Metal Can WIP
Exerting a change in pressure in a metal can by creating a vacuum inside, resulting in an implosion caused by the atmospheric pressure.
Crystal Calligraphy
Create crystal-coated structures using just pipe cleaners and Borax solution.
Compasses: How do they work? WIP
Understand how compasses work - and how they malfunction! A great way to learn about magnetism, magnetic materials and the Earth’s magnetic field.
Guitar Acoustics
Make music from cardboard and rubber bands! See how and why different strings can make different sounds.
Colour detective WIP
A very simple and colourful experiment using candy to explore basic paper chromatography.
Take the Shot
Making use of photosensitive materials and light to create a working camera which is capable of producing classical black and white images.
Water hardness
The formation of lather on the addition of soap with water is an easy and practical method for a comparative review on water hardness.
Shiny pennies
Pennies lose their shine after a while. This experiment explains what causes the dull colour on coins and how to make your pennies bright again.
