Science doesn't just happen in labs; you can explore the wonders of science right at home! Here are some engaging activities to inspire your inner scientist.
- Invisible Ink:
Write secret messages using lemon juice or baking soda solution. Once dry, heat the paper with a light bulb or iron to reveal the hidden message. This activity demonstrates chemical reactions and oxidation.
- Egg Drop Challenge:
Design a contraption to protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a height. Use materials like straws, cotton balls, and cardboard to create your egg protector. This classic experiment teaches principles of physics and engineering.
- Balloon Rocket:
Create a rocket using a balloon, string, and straw. Inflate the balloon, tape it to the straw, and let it go along the string to see it zoom forward. This activity demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion.
- Static Electricity Exploration:
Rub a balloon on your hair to create static electricity, then use it to pick up small pieces of paper or move a soda can. This fun experiment introduces the concept of static electricity and electrostatic forces.
- DIY Sun Prints:
Use light-sensitive paper or fabric to create sun prints. Place objects like leaves, flowers, or keys on the paper, then expose it to sunlight. Rinse the paper with water to reveal the print. This activity teaches about the effects of light and UV radiation.
