Hello Teachers!

Looking for suggestions for at home science experiments that my students can do at home over zoom. No fire, little to no mess, and fun! any suggestions. Not finding much on the web.

TIA

How old are your students?

For my young kids I did a celery in food coloring water to watch it change colors, and we’ll talk about how plants get their nutrients from water that comes up from the ground.

Last week we wrapped a kidney bean in a wet paper towel, keep it in a bowl outside, unwrap daily to check on progress, wrap in new wet paper towel. Iyh will check progress daily and discuss how plants grow.

Later this week I want to do a volcano, just waiting for nice weather

Red cabbage to measure pH

egg into bottle with vacuum

flame extinguishes without oxygen

Volumes:
Check out that in a cone-shaped champagne glass half of volume is not half of height, but rater towards the top

Take a box, calculate volume in liter, check it out with a bottle (oh, sorry, do you use liter?)

Measure the volume of an objecct by checking out how much water it displaces...

Calculate different densities of different objects... verify that they float if density > 1 and sink if density <1

Subjective sense of temperature: put left hand in cold water, right hand in hot water, and then both in luke warm water: left hand will feel hot, right hand will feel cold.

Watch Dr. Proton...

I remember as a kid I had this great book called "science Just add salt"

I'm gonna voice to text this so I apologise for errors

The one I remember was making a little light bulb light up with a battery and foil and salt. basically you took Oh I think you took some scotch tape and put it on foil and then folded the foil around the scotch tape You know it was just to I guess make a nice line. Then you wrapped one end of the foil around a light bulb and put it on the top and bought the the you put a battery on top of the other end and then touch the light bulb and to the thing and the light bulb lit and then you also put the two you made two and had one on the bottom and one on the top and then like you kind of cut the middle thing and it I'm going to see if I can find this experiment because it's really cool and I want to share it cuz I remember it from like fourth fifth grade but the point was you would put the two ends in salt in a bowl of salt water and regular water and you would see that the light bulb would light up with the salt but not with the regular water
