STEM Activities

1. Balloon boat

The balloon boat science activity was conducted to introduce basic principles of physics and engineering to the children in a fun and interactive way. The primary objective was to engage children in hands-on learning, promote teamwork, and spark curiosity about scientific concepts. The activity centered around creating simple boats powered by balloons and observing their movement on water.

2. Mini Cooler

The Mini Cooler Science Activity was designed to explore the principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer through a hands-on experiment. The objective was to build a simple mini cooler using readily available materials and observe its cooling effect on a small space.

3. Compact disk hovercraft

The compact disk hovercraft experiment aimed to demonstrate the principles of air pressure and friction by creating a simple hovercraft using everyday materials. The experiment focused on exploring how air trapped between the compact disk and a smooth surface could reduce friction and enable the hovercraft to glide.

4. Projector

The purpose of this science activity was to explore the principles and functionalities of projector and the science behind their operation. The activity aimed to engage participants in a hands-on learning experience that provided insights into optics, light, and image projection.

5. Ball launcher (Catapult)

Activity of ball launcher was conducted in order to make students understand the principles of potential and kinetic energy through the construction and testing of a ball launcher.

6. Hydraulic lift

A hydraulic lift is a fascinating application of fluid mechanics that utilizes Pascal’s principle to lift heavy loads with ease. This report delves into the science behind hydraulic lifts, their components, working principle, and it’s real life experiment.

7. Lava lamp

Lava lamp works based on two important scientific principles – density and polarity. This  explains density difference between oil and water.

8. Magnetic Swing

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the behavior of a pendulum influenced by magnetic forces. We aimed to understand how magnets can affect the motion of a swinging pendulum and what factors contribute to the changes in its behavior.

9. Anti-Gravity Machine

The purpose of this science activity was to explore the concept of anti-gravity and investigate whether it’s possible to create a model demonstrating this concept using a DC motor.

10. Water Fountain

This activity is for children to learn to adjust by giving specific measurements. Childern could learn the reason water flows contineuously. A water fountain explores the principle of air pressure that supplies a continuous stream of water.

11. Balloon Bottle Pump

Children can have the most fun with this activity. And This is a Simple mechanism where water flows from air pressure which is contain by balloon.

12. Rubber-Powered Car

The aim of this experiment was to design, build, and test a rubber-powered car. This hands-on activity was conducted to understand the principles of energy conversion, friction, and motion.
