1. Volcano Eruption Experiment

Materials:

•Baking soda

•Vinegar

•Dish soap

•Red food coloring

•A small plastic bottle

•Clay or playdough

Instructions:

1.Place the bottle in the center of a tray and mold clay around it to form the shape of a volcano.

2.Add a few spoonfuls of baking soda to the bottle.

3.Add a few drops of dish soap and red food coloring.

4.Pour vinegar into the bottle and watch the “lava” erupt.

2. Create a Simple Circuit

Materials:

•AA battery

•Small light bulb or LED

•Copper wire

•Electrical tape

Instructions:

1.Attach one end of a copper wire to the positive end of the AA battery using electrical tape.

2.Connect the other end of the copper wire to the base of the light bulb or LED.

3.Use another piece of copper wire to connect the negative end of the battery to the side of the light bulb or LED.

4.The light bulb should light up, completing the circuit.

3. Plant Growth Observation

Materials:

•Seeds (e.g., beans or peas)

•Small pots or cups

•Potting soil

•Water

•Notebook and pen

Instructions:

1.Fill the pots with potting soil and plant the seeds according to the package instructions.

2.Water the soil regularly and place the pots in a sunny spot.

3.Observe and record the growth of the plants daily, noting changes in height, leaf size, and any other observations.

4.Create a growth chart to visualize the progress.

4. Water Filtration Experiment

Materials:

•Two plastic bottles

•Sand

•Gravel

•Cotton balls or coffee filters

•Dirty water (mix soil with water)

Instructions:

1.Cut the bottoms off two plastic bottles and invert them to create funnels.

2.In the first bottle, layer cotton balls or coffee filters at the bottom, followed by gravel, and then sand.

3.Pour the dirty water through the filtration system and observe how the water becomes clearer as it passes through the layers.

4.Discuss the principles of filtration and water purification.

5. Floating and Sinking Experiment

Materials:

•A large bowl or basin filled with water

•Various small objects (e.g., coin, cork, plastic toy, stone, leaf)

Instructions:

1.Predict whether each object will float or sink.

2.Place each object in the water and observe the results.

3.Discuss the concepts of density and buoyancy, explaining why some objects float while others sink.

These activities are designed to be both fun and educational, providing hands-on learning experiences that demonstrate fundamental scientific principles.
