Pressure exerted by liquids
Day 12 | Force & Motion | Grade 7 & 8
Experiment 1: Inertia,Newton’s First Law of Motion
Experiment 2: Hovercraft, Newton’s Third Law of Motion
You can substitute the pulley used in hovercraft with a small bottle cap. Make a small hole in it using a hot nail- take help from your parents.
Day 13 | Energy, Force & Motion | Grade 7 & 8
Experiment 1: Kinetic Energy & Potential Energy
Note:
If you don’t have access to balls of various sizes, you can use cylindrical plastic jars to roll down the slope. Check with your parents, first :)
Experiment 2: Centrifugal Force & Centripetal Force
Note:
As we are all home-bound right now, check with your parents what is the best place in your house to do this experiment. There is a chance you might hit something with the spinning eraser or spill water inside the house. :)
Day 14 | Chemistry & Biology | Grade 7 & 8
Experiment #1: Preparation of Carbon dioxide using Vinegar and Baking Soda or Cooking Soda
Note:
In this experiment, you can use a single air-tight bottle instead of 2 bottles connected through straws.
Experiment #2: Osmosis
Note:
You can do this experiment using Potato or raisins (dry fruit). Leave the samples in the test liquids overnight to see clear results.
