Here Are Some Of The Quick And Easy Science Experiments For School Projects
EASY SCIENCE – As part of most curriculum in schools, time will come that you or your kids would need to participate is science projects/fairs.
Science is a very interesting subject. Most kids love experiments with scientific instruments for it is interactive and they love doing things on their. Despite of being a fun activity, it is very educational.
If you’re really interested in Science and its wonders, and you’re willing to go further with the subject, follow this link to learn about “Scientific Methods.”
Science can also be entertaining! Look up the internet for Science shows that explain most of the questions you have in mind and get enlightened.
But if you’re here to pick up some ideas for a school project, here are some of the easiest science experiments that are super interesting!
ICE CUBE MAGIC EXPERIMENT
In this experiment, you can cut a piece of ice like magic!
You’ll need:
- An ice cube
- A fishing line with a weight attached to each end
- A regular-sized container
- Some towels/or a bigger container to keep things dry
Instructions:
- Turn a container upside down and put down.
- Put the ice cube on the container.
- Place the fishing line over the ice cube and leave the weights dangling from each side.
- Observe.
The ice cube is being melted tight under the fishing line at faster rate due to the pressure brought by the weights!
STABBING A POTATO WITH A STRAW
IMPOSSIBLE! You can stab a potato with a drinking straw!
You’ll need:
- Plastic drinking straws (preferably stiff)
- A raw potato
Instructions:
- Hold a plastic drinking without covering the hole at the top and swiftly, STAB THE POTATO! Observe what happens.
- Now, repeat the action. But this time, cover the hole at the top with your thumb. Observe.
Covering the top of the straw traps the air inside and the trapped air is forced to compress as the straw hits the potato skin causing enough pressure to pierce through.
GRAVITY-DEFYING WATER
Suspend water in an upside-down glass with this magic-like experiment!
You’ll need:
- A glass with water
- A cardboard (huge enough to cover the class)
Instructions:
- Place the cardboard on top of the glass filled with water.
- Hold it firmly and turn the glass upside down.
- Remove your hand that is holding the cardboard.
The cardboard should stay put with the water also staying in place. This happens because of the air pressure outside the glass and the vacuum created inside the glass.
These are based on an archieve from Science Kids.
