CHEAPER LAVA LAMP

As much as possible, science teachers would want to do activities in the class, which are exciting but less expensive. Especially when the kids are asked to bring the materials needed and turned out to be difficult to find or too much for the wallet, the thrill to do it would eventually fade.

There are many lava lamps available in the market but why not make your own and use of materials that one can easily grab in the cupboard or take out from the medicine drawer or buy from the nearest supermarket. Today I am sharing to you how to make a LAVA LAMP which I have done myself several times in science club activities or classroom demonstrations.

WANTED:CLEAN WATER

An activity that can be done as a class experiment. Just make sure materials and equipment are available for the students. If not readily accessible in your school, ask groups to bring in materials.

This activity can be used when discussing about the importance of water. As a springboard of the topic, prepare pictures or powerpoint slides on water pollution, water scarcity in different parts of the world, sources of water, and etc. When it rains, water penetrates into the ground and as it passes through it, the water is filtered by the rocks, and sand, and soil, and eventually comes out as clean water at a spring or wells.
