STEM Project: Water Cycle in a Bottle

Overview:

This fun and educational STEM project will help demonstrate the water cycle to children in a simple and easy to understand manner. By creating their very own water cycle in a bottle, children can see first-hand how evaporation, condensation and precipitation occur in nature.

Ingredients:

• A clear plastic container (preferably with a lid).
• Water.
• A small translucent plastic cup.
• Blue food coloring (optional).
• Permanent marker (optional).

Instructions:

1. Fill the clear plastic container about one-third of the way with water.
2. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to the water (optional step) and stir until the water is uniformly blue. This represents the bodies of water on Earth.
3. Position the smaller plastic cup in the center of the bottom of the clear container. It should float on the surface of the water and remain unfilled. This cup represents the water vapor that rises into the atmosphere during evaporation.
4. Cover the clear container with its lid (or with plastic wrap secured by a rubber band).
5. Place the container in a sunny spot, or heat the bottom gently and slowly using a lamp, to start the evaporation process. Over time, you should see water condense on the inside of the container and the small cup should begin to fill up with water, demonstrating condensation and precipitation.
6. You can use the marker to write on the sides of the container labeling the ocean, water vapor, and clouds to make the demonstration clearer.

STEM Project: Build a Simple Water Filtration System

In this fun, educational STEM project, we will be making a simple water filtration system. This will help your child understand the concept of water purification and relate it to real-world scenarios.

Ingredients

• 1 Two-liter plastic bottle
• Cotton balls
• Activated charcoal (can be found at pet stores)
• Fine sand
• Coarse sand
• Gravel
• Dirty Water (you can make this by adding soil to water)

Instructions

1. Cut the Bottom of the Bottle: Carefully cut the bottom of your two-liter plastic bottle. This will be the top of your filtration system.
2. Add Cotton Balls: Place a layer of cotton balls on the bottom of the bottle.
3. Add Activated Charcoal: Over the cotton, add a thick layer of activated charcoal. This layer will help to remove contaminants and impurities from the water.
4. Add Fine Sand: Add a layer of fine sand on top of the charcoal.
5. Add Coarse Sand: Over the fine sand, add a layer of coarse sand.
6. Add Gravel: Finally, add a layer of gravel on top.
7. Filter the Dirty Water: Pour the dirty water into the filter and let it drain into a container. This clean water is the result of your filtration system.
8. Note: It's important to remember that while this filtration system removes visible contaminants, it does not make the water safe to drink. This exercise is purely for education.

4. Monitor the rainfall by checking your rain gauge

These simple, fun and educational water STEM projects will keep your kids busy and learning about the importance of water in our world!

STEM Project: Vegetable Oil & Blue Food Coloring Experiment

Ingredients:

• Vegetable Oil
• Blue Food Coloring
• Clear Glass
• Water

Instructions:

1. Fill the clear glass half full with water.
2. Add a few drops of blue food colouring to the water and mix until the water turns blue.
3. Pour vegetable oil into the glass until it is nearly full. Be sure not to mix the oil and water.
4. Observe the separation of the oil and coloured water. Note how the oil floats on top of the water.
5. Discuss the scientific principles behind this experiment with your child. Why doesn't oil mix with water? What is creating the separate layers? Etc.

Expanding on the theme: Comparing this experiment with the bubble snake experiment:

Like the bubble snake experiment, this project also involves using soap and water. However, instead of producing a physical reaction (bubbles), this experiment allows you to visually explore the non-mixing properties of oil and water. Discuss how both projects revolve around the interaction of different liquids, and how adding soap can create unique reactions. This provides a hands-on approach to learning about density, molecular structure, and the science of surfactants.

DIY Robotic Hand: An Engaging STEM Project

This amazing DIY Robotic Hand project is perfect for your little scientist this rainy April season. It is a fun-filled, engaging, and educational project that showcases the wonders of robotics and engineering. Let's dive in!

Materials Needed:

• 5 Straws
• String
• Cardstock or Any Thick Cardboard
• Scissors
• Tape

Procedure:

STEP 1: Prepare the Straws

Cut each straw into four equal sections. These will act as the joints for the fingers of your robotic hand.

STEP 2: Create Finger Bones

Cut the cardstock into long, finger-like shapes. You should have at least 5 for each hand.

STEP 3: Attach the Straw Joints to the Cardstock Fingers

Glue or tape the cut straw pieces onto each cardstock finger at joints just like a human hand.

STEP 4: Thread the String

Take a piece of string and thread it through the straws on each finger. Make sure one end of the string is at the top of the finger and has room to move freely. This will act as the tendons of your robotic hand.

STEP 5: Create Hand Base

Cut out a piece of cardstock for the palm of the hand. Attach the bottom of the fingers to the palm with tape or glue.

STEP 6: Finalize the Robotic Hand

Finally, tape or glue down the other end of the string onto the base of the hand. Make sure to leave enough slack so that tugging on the string causes the fingers to curl, just like a real hand!

And there you have it! Your very own DIY Robotic hand. Enjoy showing off your engineering project, and keep exploring the fun world of STEM!
