Science Night: Spring 2024

Join us to participate in our first "Family Science Night" for the lower elementary school grades (pre-k- 3rd) organized by Shiksha School, at Radha Madhav Dham. Take part as a student or to run the booth. It's going to be a fun event for the entire family.

Projects :

Build a Strong Paper Bridge - Get the engineering back into STEM.
Challenge kids to create a paper bridge that's strong enough to hold as many pennies as possible.

This Energy Stick teaches young scientists about open and closed circuits, conductors, and insulators. Children will also begin to learn the fundamentals about how electrodes work.

Making Parachutes out of Napkins
Flow and Go Boat - A flow and go boat uses the energy of water pouring out of a cup to make a boat float through the water.

Make Straw Rockets - This project makes a great addition to a unit on physics, space, the night sky, or things that fly and is also just fun to do on a rainy day!
Energy stick: Teacher Directed Activity - Exploring Electricity

Sun-sensitive paper for solar art
You can learn about the power of the sun with sun-sensitive paper and make wonderful works of art with sun-sensitive paper and the power of solar rays. It’s easy and so much fun!

What Happened to the Simple Slime?
The glue has an ingredient called polyvinyl acetate, which is a liquid polymer. The borax links the polyvinyl acetate molecules to each other, creating one large, flexible polymer. This kind of slime will get stiffer and more like putty the more you play with it.

Tornado in a Bottle - Just explore the tornadoes in a bottle on the table.
Make your own tornado in a bottle with this fun and easy science experiment. Then, explore how and why the vortex is made with our easy to understand explanation of how the experiment works below.

Erupting, Bubbling, Blobs:
Using density to make an erupting bubbling blob.

Levitate a Ping-Pong ball
Exploring the Bernoulli Principle with our infamous ping pong ball snowmen.

Rising Water Experiment - This experiment requires adult help, but adults will love it, too.
Learn about Charles’s Law with this simple experiment. As the candle burns, using up oxygen and heating the air in the glass, the water rises as if by magic.

Taste the Rainbow 🌈
This super sweet Skittles experiment is the perfect way to teach kids about diffusion.
The student will observe how Skittles make a mesmerizing rainbow swirl when submerged in warm water.

This flying tea bag experiment - it has to be one of the most fun ways to teach kids about heat energy.
Between the fire and flying teabags, they are sure to be captivated.
