Chapter 3: Thermal Conductivity of Metals

Have you ever touched something?

That became hot enough to burn you only moments after it was cool to the touch? This can happen when you stir a pot of soup on the stove with a metal spoon or roast marshmallows over a fire with a metal rod. So what explains why it’s a better idea to stir your soup with a wooden spoon and roast your marshmallows with a wooden stick? Objects made of metal can quickly conduct unwanted heat right up to our hands!

Fun with electrostatic charges

Bending of Water!

Did you see bending of Water from a Water faucet? Static electricity can be a problem whenever the humidity is low. It causes shocks and makes dust stick to surfaces, and it can literally make your hair stand on end. In this experiment, you will see that it also can move things around.

Grade 5 | Physics | Heat Transformation

Water Condensation Experiment

Water is always moving through the water cycle. When water enters a warm air mass, such as air heated by the sun, it rises! When the water rises up into the atmosphere it collides with the much colder air at the top of our atmosphere. But that cold air is not able to hold as much water as warm air. This causes condensation to occur and eventually RAIN! This is what happened when we put the cold ice on top of the warm water. The warm, moist air in the jar condensed and formed water droplets or what kids can think of as rain once interacting with the cold ice!

Grade 6: Chemistry: Chemical Reaction Part 2

Red Cabbage Science Experiment for Kids Chemistry

I’m not a big fan of cabbage except for when it’s used for science! Food science is super cool and is awesome for kids. This isn’t the sweetest smelling science experiment we have done, but once you get past the smell this cabbage science experiment is fascinating. Amazing chemistry for kids with simple food. So over here we say, don’t stop playing (learning) with your food!

Hot and cold water diffusion experiment

Hot and cold water diffusion

Have you ever colored a picture with marker and noticed that two touching colors begin to bleed together? In class, do you typically sit evenly spaced or all scrunched together? Although one of these refers to chemical properties and the latter social interaction, both are examples or diffusion.

Hot Ice Experiment

Hot Ice Experiment

To generate sodium acetate, sometimes known as hot ice, combine baking soda and vinegar. When you pour it, it immediately crystallises, enabling you to build a tower of crystals. Since crystallisation is an exothermic process, the resulting “ice” will be warm to the touch. Science is amazing!

Lemon Battery Experiment

Lemon Battery Experiment

You may use a piece of fruit to make a battery. Technically, yes, but not in a very powerful way! The copper and zinc strips in the lemon’s citric acid serve as the demonstration’s source of electrical energy.

Microwaving Soap Experiment

Microwave Ivory Soap Experiment

Put a bar of soap in the microwave and watch it expand to 6x its size right before your eyes! The Expanding Ivory Soap Experiment is a classic science activity that will fascinate kids and grown-ups alike. 

The Microwave Ivory Soap Experiment is one of my favourite science experiments for kids because it’s so quick and easy, and it yields such fascinating results.  There’s almost no prep required, and you don’t need any fancy supplies.  All that’s required is a bar of Ivory and a microwave oven.

Properties of Matter: Density I

Have you ever heard about density?

Density is basically how tightly packed atoms are. (Mathematically, density is mass divided by volume.) For example, take a golf ball and a ping pong ball. Both are about the same size or, in other words, take up the same volume.

However, one is much heavier, has more mass, than the other. The golf ball has its atoms much more closely packed together than the ping pong ball and as such the golf ball is denser.
