Entertaining physics for schoolchildren experiments. Various physical experiences

Most people, remembering their school years, we are sure that physics is a very boring subject. The course includes many tasks and formulas that will not be useful to anyone in later life. On the one hand, these statements are true, but, like any subject, physics has the other side of the coin. But not everyone discovers it for themselves.

A lot depends on the teacher.

Perhaps our education system is to blame for this, or maybe it's all about the teacher, who thinks only that he needs to reprimand the material approved from above, and does not seek to interest his students. Most of the time it's his fault. However, if the children are lucky, and the lesson will be taught by a teacher who loves his subject himself, then he will be able not only to interest the students, but also help them discover something new. As a result, it will lead to the fact that children will begin to attend such classes with pleasure. Of course, formulas are an integral part of this subject, there's no getting away from it. But there are also positive aspects. Experiments are of particular interest to students. Here we will talk about this in more detail. We will look at some fun physics experiments that you can do with your child. It should be interesting not only to him, but also to you. It is likely that with the help of such activities you will instill in your child a genuine interest in learning, and "boring" physics will become his favorite subject. it is not difficult to carry out, this will require very few attributes, the main thing is that there is a desire. And, perhaps, then you can replace your child with a school teacher.

Consider some interesting experiences in physics for the little ones, because you need to start small.

paper fish

To conduct this experiment, we need to cut out a small fish from thick paper (you can use cardboard), the length of which should be 30-50 mm. We make a round hole in the middle with a diameter of about 10-15 mm. Next, from the side of the tail, we cut a narrow channel (width 3-4 mm) to a round hole. Then we pour water into the basin and carefully place our fish there so that one plane lies on the water, and the second remains dry. Now you need to drop oil into the round hole (you can use the oiler from sewing machine or bike). The oil, trying to spill over the surface of the water, will flow through the cut channel, and the fish, under the action of the oil flowing back, will swim forward.

Elephant and Pug

Let's continue to conduct entertaining experiments in physics with your child. We suggest that you introduce your baby to the concept of a lever and how it helps to facilitate a person’s work. For example, tell us that you can easily lift a heavy wardrobe or sofa with it. And for clarity, show an elementary experiment in physics using a lever. To do this, we need a ruler, a pencil and a couple of small toys, but be sure to different weight(that's why we called this experience "Elephant and Pug"). We fasten our Elephant and Pug to different ends of the ruler using plasticine, or an ordinary thread (we just tie the toys). Now, if you put the ruler with the middle part on the pencil, then, of course, the elephant will pull, because it is heavier. But if you shift the pencil towards the elephant, then Pug will easily outweigh it. This is the principle of leverage. The ruler (lever) rests on the pencil - this place is the fulcrum. Next, the child should be told that this principle is used everywhere, it is the basis for the operation of a crane, a swing, and even scissors.

Home experience in physics with inertia

We will need a jar of water and a household net. It will not be a secret for anyone that if you turn an open jar over, the water will pour out of it. Let's try? Of course, for this it is better to go outside. We put the jar in the grid and begin to smoothly swing it, gradually increasing the amplitude, and as a result we make a full turn - one, two, three, and so on. Water does not pour out. Interesting? And now let's make the water pour up. To do this, take a tin can and make a hole in the bottom. We put it in the grid, fill it with water and begin to rotate. A stream shoots out of the hole. When the jar is in the lower position, this does not surprise anyone, but when it flies up, the fountain continues to beat in the same direction, and not a drop from the neck. That's it. All this can explain the principle of inertia. When the bank rotates, it tends to fly straight, but the grid does not let it go and makes it describe circles. Water also tends to fly by inertia, and in the case when we made a hole in the bottom, nothing prevents it from breaking out and moving in a straight line.

Box with a surprise

Now let's consider experiments in physics with a displacement. We need to put Matchbox on the edge of the table and slowly move it. The moment it passes its middle mark, a fall will occur. That is, the mass of the part extended beyond the edge of the tabletop will exceed the weight of the remaining one, and the boxes will tip over. Now let's shift the center of mass, for example, put a metal nut inside (as close to the edge as possible). It remains to place the boxes in such a way that a small part of it remains on the table, and a large one hangs in the air. The fall will not happen. The essence of this experiment is that the entire mass is above the fulcrum. This principle is also used throughout. It is thanks to him that furniture, monuments, transport, and much more are in a stable position. By the way, the children's toy Roly-Vstanka is also built on the principle of shifting the center of mass.

So, let's continue to consider interesting experiments in physics, but let's move on to the next stage - for sixth grade students.

water carousel

We need an empty tin can, a hammer, a nail, a rope. We pierce a hole in the side wall at the very bottom with a nail and a hammer. Next, without pulling the nail out of the hole, bend it to the side. It is necessary that the hole be oblique. We repeat the procedure on the second side of the can - you need to make sure that the holes are opposite each other, but the nails are bent in different directions. We punch two more holes in the upper part of the vessel, we pass the ends of a rope or a thick thread through them. We hang the container and fill it with water. Two oblique fountains will start to beat from the lower holes, and the can will begin to rotate in the opposite direction. I work on this principle. space rockets- the flame from the engine nozzles hits in one direction, and the rocket flies in the other.

Experiments in physics - Grade 7

Let's do an experiment with mass density and find out how you can make an egg float. Experiments in physics with different densities are best done on the example of fresh and salt water. Take a jar filled with hot water. We put an egg in it, and it immediately sinks. Next, add salt to the water and stir. The egg begins to float, and the more salt, the higher it will rise. This is because salt water has a higher density than fresh water. So, everyone knows that in the Dead Sea (its water is the most salty) it is almost impossible to drown. As you can see, experiments in physics can significantly increase the horizons of your child.

and a plastic bottle

Schoolchildren of the seventh grade begin to study atmospheric pressure and its effect on the objects around us. To reveal this topic more deeply, it is better to conduct appropriate experiments in physics. Atmosphere pressure influences us, though it remains invisible. Let's take an example with a balloon. Each of us can inflate it. We will then place it in plastic bottle, put the edges on the neck and fix. Thus, air can only enter the ball, and the bottle becomes a sealed vessel. Now let's try to inflate the balloon. We will not succeed, since the atmospheric pressure in the bottle will not allow us to do this. When we blow, the balloon begins to displace the air in the vessel. And since our bottle is airtight, it has nowhere to go, and it begins to shrink, thereby becoming much denser than the air in the ball. Accordingly, the system is leveled, and it is impossible to inflate the balloon. Now we will make a hole in the bottom and try to inflate the balloon. In this case, there is no resistance, the displaced air leaves the bottle - atmospheric pressure equalizes.

Conclusion

As you can see, experiments in physics are not at all complicated and quite interesting. Try to interest your child - and studying for him will be completely different, he will begin to attend classes with pleasure, which will eventually affect his academic performance.

And get to know with them world and wonders of physical phenomena? Then we invite you to our "experimental laboratory", in which we will tell you how to create simple, but very interesting experiments for children.

Egg experiments

Egg with salt

The egg will sink to the bottom if you put it in a glass of plain water, but what happens if you add salt? The result is very interesting and can visually show interesting density facts.

You will need:

• Salt
• Tumbler.

Instruction:

1. Fill half the glass with water.

2. Add a lot of salt to the glass (about 6 tablespoons).

3. We interfere.

4. We carefully lower the egg into the water and observe what is happening.

Explanation

Salt water has a higher density than regular tap water. It is the salt that brings the egg to the surface. And if you add to an existing salt water fresh, the egg will gradually sink to the bottom.

Egg in a bottle

Did you know that a boiled whole egg can be easily bottled?

You will need:

• A bottle with a neck diameter smaller than the diameter of the egg
• Hard boiled egg
• Matches
• some paper
• Vegetable oil.

Instruction:

1. Lubricate the neck of the bottle with vegetable oil.

2. Now set fire to the paper (you can just have a few matches) and immediately throw it into the bottle.

3. Put an egg on the neck.

When the fire goes out, the egg will be inside the bottle.

Explanation

The fire provokes the heating of the air in the bottle, which comes out. After the fire goes out, the air in the bottle will begin to cool and contract. Therefore, a low pressure is formed in the bottle, and the external pressure pushes the egg into the bottle.

The balloon experiment

This experiment shows how rubber and orange peel interact with each other.

You will need:

• Balloon
• Orange.

Instruction:

1. inflate Balloon ik.

2. Peel the orange, but don't throw away the orange peel.

3. Squeeze the orange peel over the balloon, after which it will burst.

Explanation.

Orange peel contains limonene. It is able to dissolve rubber, which is what happens to the ball.

candle experiment

An interesting experiment showing burning a candle in the distance.

You will need:

• regular candle
• Matches or lighter.

Instruction:

1. Light a candle.

2. Extinguish it after a few seconds.

3. Now bring the burning flame to the smoke coming from the candle. The candle will start burning again.

Explanation

The smoke rising from an extinguished candle contains paraffin, which quickly ignites. The burning vapors of paraffin reach the wick, and the candle begins to burn again.

Vinegar Soda

A balloon that inflates itself is a very interesting sight.

You will need:

• Bottle
• A glass of vinegar
• 4 teaspoons of soda
• Balloon.

Instruction:

1. Pour a glass of vinegar into the bottle.

2. Pour the soda into the bowl.

3. We put the ball on the neck of the bottle.

4. Slowly put the ball vertically, while pouring soda into a bottle of vinegar.

5. Watching the balloon inflate.

Explanation

When baking soda is added to vinegar, a process called soda quenching takes place. During this process, carbon dioxide, which inflates our balloon.

invisible ink

Play with your child as a secret agent and create your invisible ink.

You will need:

• half a lemon
• A spoon
• Bowl
• Cotton swab
• White paper
• Lamp.

Instruction:

1. Squeeze some lemon juice into a bowl and add the same amount of water.

2. Dip a cotton swab into the mixture and write something on the white paper.

3. Wait for the juice to dry and become completely invisible.

4. When you're ready to read the secret message or show it to someone else, heat the paper by holding it close to a light bulb or fire.

Explanation

Lemon juice is organic matter, which oxidizes and turns brown when heated. Diluted lemon juice in water makes it hard to see on paper, and no one will know there's lemon juice in it until it's warmed up.

Other substances which work in the same way:

• Orange juice
• Milk
• onion juice
• Vinegar
• Wine.

How to make lava

You will need:

• Sunflower oil
• Juice or food coloring
• Transparent vessel (can be a glass)
• Any effervescent tablets.

Instruction:

1. First, pour the juice into a glass so that it fills about 70% of the volume of the container.

2. Fill the rest of the glass with sunflower oil.

3. Now we are waiting for the juice to separate from the sunflower oil.

4. We throw a pill into a glass and observe an effect similar to lava. When the tablet dissolves, you can throw another one.

Explanation

The oil separates from the water because it has a lower density. Dissolving in the juice, the tablet releases carbon dioxide, which captures parts of the juice and lifts it up. The gas is completely out of the glass when it reaches the top, and the juice particles fall back down.

The tablet hisses due to the fact that it contains citric acid and soda (sodium bicarbonate). Both of these ingredients react with water to form sodium citrate and carbon dioxide gas.

Ice experiment

At first glance, you might think that the ice cube, being on top, will eventually melt, due to which it should cause the water to spill, but is it really so?

You will need:

• Cup
• Ice cubes.

Instruction:

1. Fill up a glass warm water to the very edge.

2. Lower the ice cubes carefully.

3. Watch the water level carefully.

As the ice melts, the water level does not change at all.

Explanation

When water freezes, turning into ice, it expands, increasing its volume (which is why even heating pipes can burst in winter). Water from melted ice takes up less space than the ice itself. So when the ice cube melts, the water level stays about the same.

How to make a parachute

find out about air resistance, making a small parachute.

You will need:

• Plastic bag or other lightweight material
• Scissors
• A small load (perhaps some figurine).

Instruction:

1. Cut out a large square from a plastic bag.

2. Now we cut the edges so that we get an octagon (eight identical sides).

3. Now we tie 8 pieces of thread to each corner.

4. Don't forget to make a small hole in the middle of the parachute.

5. Tie the other ends of the threads to a small load.

6. Use a chair or find a high point to launch the parachute and check how it flies. Remember that the parachute should fly as slowly as possible.

Explanation

When the parachute is released, the load pulls it down, but with the help of the lines, the parachute occupies a large area that resists the air, due to which the load slowly lowers. How more area surface of the parachute, the more this surface resists falling, and the slower the parachute will descend.

A small hole in the middle of the parachute allows air to flow through it slowly, rather than flopping the parachute to one side.

How to make a tornado

Find out, how to make a tornado in a bottle with this fun science experiment for kids. The items used in the experiment are easy to find in everyday life. Made homemade mini tornado much safer than the tornado that is shown on television in the steppes of America.

Introduction

Nothing in life is better than your own experience.

Scott W.

At school and at home, we got acquainted with many physical phenomena and we wanted to make home-made devices, equipment and conduct experiments. All our experiments allow us to get deeper knowledge the world and in particular physics. We describe the process of making equipment for the experiment, the principle of operation and the physical law or phenomenon demonstrated by this device. The experiments carried out interested students from other classes.

Target: make a device from available improvised means to demonstrate a physical phenomenon and use it to tell about physical phenomenon.

Hypothesis: made devices, demonstrations will help to know physics deeper.

Equipment : plastic bottle, dropper tubes, clip, balloon, cuvette.

The course of the experiment:

We will make 2 holes in the cork. Insert the tubes, attach a ball to the end of one.

Fill the balloon with air and close with a clip.

Pour into a bottle of water and put it in a cuvette.

Let's watch the flow of water.

Result: We observe the formation of a fountain of water.

Analysis: works on bottled water compressed air located in the ball. The more air in the balloon, the higher the fountain will be.

EXPERIENCE 2. Carthusian diver

(Pascal's law and Archimedean force.)

Target: demonstrate Pascal's law and Archimedes' force.

Equipment: plastic bottle,

pipette (a vessel closed at one end)

The course of the experiment:

Take a plastic bottle with a capacity of 1.5-2 liters.

Take a small vessel (pipette) and load it with copper wire.

Fill the bottle with water.

Press down on the top of the bottle with your hands.

Watch the phenomenon.

Result : we observe the dipping of the pipette and the ascent when pressing on the plastic bottle ..

Analysis : the force will compress the air over the water, the pressure is transferred to the water.

According to Pascal's law, pressure compresses the air in the pipette. As a result, the Archimedean force decreases. The body is sinking. Stop squeezing. The body floats.

EXPERIENCE 3. Pascal's law and communicating vessels.

Target: demonstrate the operation of Pascal's law in hydraulic machines.

Equipment: two syringes of different sizes and a plastic tube from a dropper.

1. Take two syringes of different sizes and connect with a dropper tube.

2.Fill with incompressible liquid (water or oil)

3. Push down on the plunger of the smaller syringe. Observe the movement of the plunger of the larger syringe.

4. Push the plunger of the larger syringe. Observe the movement of the plunger of the smaller syringe.

Result : We fix the difference in the applied forces.

Analysis : According to Pascal's law, the pressure created by the pistons is the same. Therefore: how many times the piston is so many times and the force generated by it is greater.

EXPERIENCE 4. Dry from water.

Target : show the expansion of hot air and the contraction of cold air.

Equipment : a glass, a plate of water, a candle, a cork.

Conclusion

As a result of our work, we:

conducted experiments proving the existence of atmospheric pressure;

created home-made devices that demonstrate the dependence of liquid pressure on the height of the liquid column, Pascal's law.

We liked to study pressure, make home-made devices, conduct experiments. But there are many interesting things in the world that you can still learn, so in the future:

We will continue to study this interesting science

We hope that our classmates will be interested in this problem, and we will try to help them.

In the future, we will conduct new experiments.

Conclusion

It is interesting to watch the experience conducted by the teacher. Conducting it yourself is doubly interesting.

And to conduct an experiment with a device made and designed by one's own hands is of great interest to the whole class. In such experiments, it is easy to establish a relationship and draw a conclusion about how a given installation works.

Conducting these experiments is not difficult and interesting. They are safe, simple and useful. New research ahead!

Many people think that science is boring and dreary. So says the one who has not seen the science shows from "Eureka". What happens in our "lessons"? No cramming, boring formulas and a sour expression on the face of a desk mate. Children like our science, all experiments and experiments, they love our science, our science gives joy and stimulates further knowledge of complex subjects.

Try it yourself, to conduct entertaining experiments in physics for children at home. It will be fun, and most importantly, very informative. your child in game form get acquainted with the laws of physics, and it has been proven that in the game, children quickly and easily learn the material and remember for a long time.

Entertaining experiments in physics that should be shown to children at home

Simple entertaining experiments in physics that children will remember for a lifetime. Everything you need to conduct these experiments is at your fingertips. So, forward to scientific discoveries!

A ball that doesn't burn!

Props: 2 balloons, candle, matches, water.

Interesting experience: We inflate the first balloon and hold it over a candle to demonstrate to the kids that the balloon will burst from the fire.

Pour plain tap water into the second ball, tie it up and bring the candles to the fire again. And about a miracle! What do we see? The ball does not burst!

The water that is in the balloon absorbs the heat generated by the candle, and therefore the balloon does not burn, therefore, does not burst.

Wonder Pencils

Requisites: plastic bag, regular sharpened pencils, water.

Interesting experience: Pour water into a plastic bag - not full, half.

In the place where the bag is filled with water, we pierce the bag through with pencils. What do we see? In places of a puncture - the package does not leak. Why? And, if you do the opposite: first pierce the bag, and then pour water into it, the water will flow through the holes.

How the "miracle" happens: explanation: When polyethylene breaks, its molecules are attracted closer friend to friend. In our experiment, the polyethylene is pulled around the pencils and keeps the water from leaking.

Non-popping ball

Requisites: balloon, wooden skewer and dishwashing liquid.

Interesting experience: Lubricate the top and bottom of the ball with dishwashing liquid, pierce with a skewer, starting from the bottom.

How the "miracle" happens: explanation: And the secret of this “trick” is simple. To save a whole ball, you need to know where to pierce - at the points of least tension, which are located at the bottom and at the top of the ball.

"Cauliflower

Requisites: 4 ordinary glasses of water, bright food coloring, cabbage leaves or white flowers.

Interesting experience: We add food coloring of any color to each glass and put one leaf of cabbage or a flower in colored water. We leave the "bouquet" for the night. And in the morning... we will see that the cabbage leaves or flowers have become different colors.

How the "miracle" happens: explanation: Plants absorb water to nourish their flowers and leaves. This is due to the capillary effect, in which water itself fills the thin tubes inside the plants. By sucking in the tinted water, the leaves and color change their color.

The egg that can swim

Requisites: 2 eggs, 2 cups of water, salt.

Interesting experience: Carefully place the egg in a glass of plain clean water. We see: it drowned, sank to the bottom (if not, the egg is rotten and it is better to throw it away).
And pour into the second glass warm water and stir in it 4-5 tablespoons of salt. We wait until the water has cooled, then lower the second egg into the salt water. And what do we see now? The egg floats on the surface and does not sink! Why?

How the "miracle" happens: explanation: It's all about density! The average density of an egg is much greater than the density of plain water, so the egg "sinks". And the density of the saline solution is greater, and therefore the egg “floats”.

Delicious Experiment: Crystal Candy

Requisites: 2 cups water, 5 cups sugar, wooden sticks for mini skewers, thick paper, transparent glasses, saucepan, food coloring.

Interesting experience: Take a quarter cup of water, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, boil the syrup. At the same time, pour a little sugar onto thick paper. Then dip a wooden skewer into the syrup and collect sugar with it.

Let the sticks dry overnight.

In the morning we dissolve 5 glasses of sugar in two glasses of water, leave the syrup to cool for 15 minutes, but not much, otherwise the crystals will not “grow”. Then pour the syrup into jars and add multi-colored food coloring. We lower the skewers with sugar into jars so that they do not touch either the walls or the bottom (you can use a clothespin). What's next? And then we observe the process of crystal growth, we are waiting for the result in order to ... eat!

How the “miracle” happens: explanation: As soon as the water begins to cool, the solubility of sugar decreases and it precipitates, settling on the walls of the vessel and on a skewer with a seed of sugar grains.

"Eureka"! Science without boredom!

There is another option to motivate children to study science - order a science show at the Evrika Development Center. Oh, what's not here!

Show program "Fun Kitchen"

Here the kids are waiting exciting experiments with those things and products that are available in any kitchen. The kids will try to drown the tangerine; make drawings on milk, check the egg for freshness, and also find out why milk is useful.

"Tricks"

This program contains experiments that at first glance seem like real magic tricks, but in fact they are all explained with the help of science. The kids will find out: why the balloon over the candle does not burst; what makes an egg float, why a balloon sticks to a wall... and other interesting experiments.

"Entertaining physics"

Does the air weigh, why does a fur coat warm, what is common between the experiment with a candle and the shape of the wing of birds and airplanes, can a piece of fabric hold water, can an eggshell of a whole elephant withstand these and other questions, the kids will receive an answer by becoming a participant in the show " Entertaining physics" from "Eureka".

These Entertaining experiments in physics for schoolchildren can be carried out in the classroom to draw students' attention to the phenomenon being studied, while repeating and consolidating educational material: they deepen and expand the knowledge of schoolchildren, contribute to the development logical thinking instill interest in the subject.

It Matters: Science Show Safety

• The main part of the props and consumables is purchased directly from specialized stores of manufacturing companies in the United States, and therefore you can be sure of their quality and safety;
• Center child development"Eureka" non-science shows of toxic or other materials harmful to children's health, easily breakable objects, lighters and other "harmful and dangerous";
• Before ordering scientific shows, each client can find out detailed description ongoing experiments, and, if necessary, sensible explanations;
• Before the start of the science shows, the children are instructed about the rules of conduct at the Show, and professional hosts make sure that these rules are not violated during the show.

Introduction

Without a doubt, all our knowledge begins with experience.
(Kant Emmanuel. German philosopher g. g)

Physical experiments in entertaining form introduce students to the various applications of the laws of physics. Experiments can be used in the classroom to draw students' attention to the phenomenon being studied, when repeating and consolidating educational material, and at physical evenings. Entertaining experiments deepen and expand students' knowledge, contribute to the development of logical thinking, instill interest in the subject.

The role of experiment in the science of physics

That physics is a young science
Can't say for sure here.
And in ancient times knowing science,
Always strive to reach it.

The purpose of teaching physics is specific,
To be able to apply all knowledge in practice.
And it is important to remember - the role of the experiment
Must be in the first place.

Know how to plan and execute experiments.
Analyze and bring to life.
Build a model, put forward a hypothesis,
Strive to reach new heights

The laws of physics are based on facts established by experience. Moreover, the interpretation of the same facts often changes in the course of historical development physics. Facts accumulate as a result of observations. But at the same time, they cannot be limited only to them. This is only the first step towards knowledge. Next comes the experiment, the development of concepts that allow qualitative characteristics. In order to draw general conclusions from observations, to find out the causes of phenomena, it is necessary to establish quantitative relationships between quantities. If such a dependence is obtained, then a physical law is found. If a physical law is found, then there is no need to set up an experiment in each individual case, it is enough to perform the appropriate calculations. Having studied experimentally the quantitative relationships between the quantities, it is possible to identify patterns. Based on these patterns, the development general theory phenomena.

Therefore, without experiment there can be no rational teaching of physics. The study of physics involves the widespread use of the experiment, the discussion of the features of its formulation and the observed results.

Entertaining experiments in physics

The description of the experiments was carried out using the following algorithm:

Name of the experiment Necessary instruments and materials for the experiment Stages of the experiment Explanation of the experiment

Experience #1 Four floors

Devices and materials: glass, paper, scissors, water, salt, red wine, sunflower oil, colored alcohol.

Stages of the experiment

Let's try to pour four different liquids into a glass so that they do not mix and stand one above the other in five floors. However, it will be more convenient for us to take not a glass, but a narrow glass expanding towards the top.

Pour salted tinted water into the bottom of a glass. Roll out “Funtik” paper and bend its end at a right angle; cut off its tip. The hole in the Funtik should be the size of a pinhead. Pour red wine into this cone; a thin stream should flow out of it horizontally, break against the walls of the glass and flow down it into salt water.
When the layer of red wine is equal in height to the height of the layer of tinted water, stop pouring the wine. From the second cone, pour sunflower oil into a glass in the same way. Pour a layer of colored alcohol from the third horn.

Figure 3

Explanation of experience

The candle goes out because the bottle is “flown around” with air: the jet of air is broken by the bottle into two streams; one flows around it on the right, and the other on the left; and they meet approximately where the flame of a candle stands.

Experience number 4 Spinning snake

Devices and materials: thick paper, candle, scissors.

Stages of the experiment

Cut a spiral out of thick paper, stretch it a little and put it on the end of the bent wire. Holding this coil over the candle in an updraft of air will cause the snake to spin.

Explanation of experience

The snake rotates because the air expands under the influence of heat and the transformation of warm energy into motion.

Explanation of experience

Water has a higher density than alcohol; it will gradually enter the vial, displacing the mascara from there. Red, blue or black liquid will rise in a thin stream from the bubble upwards.

Experiment No. 6 Fifteen matches on one

Devices and materials: 15 matches.

Stages of the experiment

Put one match on the table, and 14 matches across it so that their heads stick up and the ends touch the table. How to lift the first match, holding it by one end, and with it all the other matches?

Explanation of experience

To do this, you only need to put one more, fifteenth match on top of all the matches, in the hollow between them.

Experience No. 8 Paraffin motor

Devices and materials: candle, knitting needle, 2 glasses, 2 plates, matches.

Stages of the experiment

To make this motor, we don't need electricity or gasoline. We need only ... a candle for this.

Heat the needle and stick it with their heads into the candle. This will be the axis of our engine. Place a candle with a knitting needle on the edges of two glasses and balance. Light the candle at both ends.

Explanation of experience

A drop of paraffin will fall into one of the plates placed under the ends of the candle. The balance will be disturbed, the other end of the candle will pull and fall; at the same time, a few drops of paraffin will drain from it, and it will become lighter than the first end; it rises to the top, the first end will fall, drop a drop, it will become easier, and our motor will start to work with might and main; gradually fluctuations of the candle will increase more and more.

Devices and materials: thin glass, water.

Stages of the experiment

Fill a glass with water and wipe the rim of the glass. With a moistened finger, rub anywhere in the glass, she will sing.

Diffusion" href="/text/category/diffuziya/" rel="bookmark">diffusion in liquids, gases and solids

Demonstration experiment "Observation of diffusion"

Devices and materials: cotton wool, ammonia, phenolphthalein, diffusion observation device.

Stages of the experiment

Take two pieces of cotton wool. We moisten one piece of cotton wool with phenolphthalein, the other - ammonia. Let's bring the branches together. There is a pink staining of the fleece due to the phenomenon of diffusion.

3. Pascal's ball

Pascal's ball is a device designed to demonstrate the uniform transfer of pressure exerted on a liquid or gas in a closed vessel, as well as the rise of a liquid behind a piston under the influence of atmospheric pressure.

To demonstrate the uniform transmission of pressure produced on a liquid in a closed vessel, it is necessary, using a piston, to draw water into the vessel and firmly fit the ball onto the nozzle. By pushing the piston into the vessel, demonstrate the outflow of liquid from the holes in the ball, paying attention to the uniform outflow of liquid in all directions.
