Demonstration of Newton’s third law of motion by using balloon, straw and thread.
Newton describes this effect in his Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. … The air escaping the balloon (the action) pushes out in every which way and the reaction of the balloon is to move in every which way, too.
Demonstration of Archimedes’ principle.
This demonstration exemplifies Archimedes’ principle: the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. This buoyant force acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid.
Let’s understand working of a Dynamo :
A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator. Simply put, a device that makes direct current electric power using electromagnetism. It is basically a DC generator, i.e. an electrical machine which converts mechanical power into direct current electrical power.
With so much technology on the market it can be difficult to pry children away from screens and get them involved in simple activities like colouring. But there are many benefits to your child’s development why you need to ensure it’s something that you encourage regularly.
The simple and fun activity can have so many benefits, not only does it keep children entertained, but it can enhance their development too.
“Colouring in is an excellent way for children to express themselves, develop their motor skills, relax and enjoy quality time with other family members. In such a busy world this age old favourite is one of the best ways to slow down and enjoy the simple joy of childhood,”
‘Volcanic Eruption’ activity was conducted in Almighty Public school where students learnt how volcanoes erupt and the way magma comes out of the earth.
This week Junior Almightians created model volcanoes during the Activity Period for Active Planet. The students built their volcanoes with recycled materials and paper mâché techniques. On the final day of the project, the group used a fun and safe chemical reaction to simulate a volcanic eruption.
This hands-on activity gave the students a chance to be creative and imaginative while they reexamined knowledge they acquired about volcanoes and other natural disasters. It proved to be a wonderful way to tie the unit’s lessons together and link them under the umbrella of the overall theme.
Throughout the Active Planet unit, the students learned about Earth’s tectonic plates and how small changes can have enormous effects around the world. The lesson delved into information on earthquakes, tsunamis, and of course, volcanoes. For example, the students looked at the technical language surrounding volcanoes.
“It’s important to remember that volcanoes can be dangerous,” Class 4th student Aayush said.
The students also studied fault lines and invented protective suits for a volcanologist. Plus, they learned about real volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters that made significant impacts throughout history, which helped them to consider the importance of environmental conservation today.
“I think it’s interesting that volcanoes have three stages—active, dormant, and extinct,” Class 5th student kanishka said. For the construction phase of the in-person project, the students first crumpled recycled newspaper into balls and glued them around a recycled water bottle to create a structure for their model volcano. Next, they made an eco-friendly paste from flour and water. Afterward, the students cut strips of newspaper, dipped them in the paste, and placed them on top of the structure.
The project was a lesson in patience and persistence. When it was time to wait for the volcanoes to dry, some students expressed how eager they felt to see the results and move to the next step, so the teachers encouraged them to be patient and channel their enthusiasm into the next day’s work. “Our students are resilient, and their imaginative spirit is powerful. They work as creatively as ever and find unique ways to be successful,” Science Teacher said.
While observing social-distancing guidelines, the students found creative ways to collaborate. For instance, students discussed ideas on the most durable way to build the structure and the most skillful way to paint the outer shell.
On the final day of the project, science took center stage when the students learned about the chemical reaction that occurs when vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, or baking soda, mix to make carbonic acid and sodium acetate. The carbonic acid decomposes into water and carbon dioxide gas, which makes a bubbly foam. The students added these materials to their model volcanoes.
The resulting chemical reaction was a captivating moment for the students, who loved watching the foamy substance blast out of their volcano creations in the way lava might explode from a real volcano during a volcanic eruption. They also experimented with other chemical mixtures, such as vinegar and dish soap, to compare the reactions. It was a little messy and a lot of fun!
“We studied how volcanoes helped our planet form over millions of years. Many of the concepts were abstract, so we made the ideas real by creating model volcanoes,” Science teacher Mrs. Nivedita explained. “The students found it exciting to see the volcanoes erupt and ooze lava, and we connected the moment to things we learned.” According to her students noticed that the model volcanoes erupted for a much longer time than anyone had expected. This observation led to a fantastic conversation about the duration of real volcanic eruptions and their effects on civilizations.
In the end, the project was a big success. The students relied upon lessons they learned in multiple subjects, and within a relatively short time frame, they saw the benefits of consistent effort. The students came away with exceptional creations and lasting memories.
“The best part of the activity was when we erupted our volcanoes! At first, nothing happened. Then we shook the volcanoes, and they went boom! It was a big surprise,” Class 5th student Ishant said. Constructing the model volcanoes and painting them were also favorite moments among the students.
Learning by doing is experience. Young learners of Almighty Public school tried their little hands on non flame cooking, donning their Chef Caps in “LITTLE CHEF ACTIVITY “. In this activity they have shown their creativity and artistic approach and made tasty and amazing Sandwiches. This activity made them aware about their senses and good eating habits.
Balloon Suck Activity:
Supplies for Air Pressure Experiments with balloons:
Balloon
Jar or glass
Paper
Matches
How to Conduct an Air Pressure balloon Experiment:
Fill the balloon with water so that it is just too large to fit down inside the jar and rests on top.
Light a piece of paper on fire and drop it into the jar. Place the balloon on top.
Balloon sitting on top of mason jar at start of air pressure experiment The balloon will start to shake a bit, then be sucked into the jar. It probably won’t be sucked in all the way, but about halfway into the jar. Balloon getting sucked into mason jar during air pressure experiments
Once the fire dies and the jar cools, have the students see if they can pull the balloon out. It will take a bit of work to get it loose!
How to use Air Pressure Experiments to teach children:
The reason the balloon is sucked into the jar is due to air pressure.
When the piece of paper is heated, it creates hot air, which escapes around the balloon.
The hot air escaping is what makes the balloon shake at first.
But because the balloon is made of latex, no new air enters the jar, creating a low-pressure system inside the jar, which sucks the balloon inside.

Burning Candle Rising Water Science Experiment
Materials:A plate with a raised rim or a shallow bowl
Water
Candle
Lighter or matches
Drinking glass
Optional: food coloring
Optional: Playdough
Instructions:
1. Place the candle in the middle of the plate or bowl.
2. Optional: If your candle can’t stand by itself, use some playdough to help it stand upright.
3. Optional: Mix water with food coloring in a separate container. The food coloring helps you see the rising water better
4. Pour the colored water into the plate (to about 1 cm in depth).
5. Light the candle with a lighter or matchstick
6. Turn the glass or mason jar upside down and place it over the candle.
7. Watch what happens to the water when the fire is still burning, and what happens when the fire extinguishes.
Students loved watching the sudden rise in water level inside the glass so much that we did the experiment over and over again until the candle couldn’t light anymore.
