I want see some more experiments about cells.

# data[].attributes.body
i learned that the buttons on the vending machines had more bacteria than the sink in the toilet. it might be because of the cleaniness maintenance and the amount of usage that both teachers and students use as compared to the sink.

# data[].attributes.body
I observed  more bacteria on the toilet bowl  agar than the canteen table  agar.

i think its because the toilet has a lot of bacteria than the canteen table as the canteen tables are being cleaned regularly .
I have learnt how to test for bacteria

# data[].attributes.body
more sscience experiment ment for our age

# data[].attributes.body
For the agar agar plates, I learned that the water coolers were dirtier than the toilet sink. So, some places might be dirtier than you think.

# data[].attributes.body
even things that we think are clean, like phones, are actually rly dirty

I would like to see experiments such as DIY compasses.

# data[].attributes.body
we learnt that in common things that we see in our daily lives often contain bacteria and fungi.

# data[].attributes.body
one thing i learnt never trust nizon and Brayden when they have slime

# data[].attributes.body
we need 2 packs of agar for 1L of water

# data[].attributes.body
Oobleck

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to see more critical experiements like about cells

# data[].attributes.body
There was more bacteria formed from the bathroom sink than the canteen table swab.

We learned that there might be places that are dirtier than you think.

# data[].attributes.body
Could have shared more glue with each other while making the slime so everyone has enough.

# data[].attributes.body
swab the area thoroughly
the agar needs to be thick enough for it to settle

# data[].attributes.body
there was a lot of bacteria on the agar because we rubbed extremely dirty surfaces on it. i learnt that a lot of surfaces are more dirty than it actually seems

# data[].attributes.body
i learned How to test for starch and fats

I want to tell if which material is a better conductor of heat by finding out on which material wax will melt first.

i want to learn how to make a circuit using graphite/pencil lead to make wires

# data[].attributes.body
Making the slime since me and braden had a good laugh as sujay got his hands stuck in slime

# data[].attributes.body
Making slime was interesting because we had to produce our own measurements to make it. If we added too much water it will be watery and not sticky enough.

The air pollution experiment and the glacier ice experiment

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A science project can be a great way to teach kids about important concepts like sustainability and how to be eco-friendly. You don't need a laboratory or any fancy equipment to conduct some fun and educational experiments at home. Here are a few cool science experiments for kids that will teach them about the environment using items you already have at home.

1. Air Pollution Experiment

It can be hard to understand the concept of air pollution when it's not always easy to actually see it. This simple experiment can help kids understand that there is more in the atmosphere than just air and why it's important to keep it clean.

Here's what you'll need:

A piece of clear plastic (such as a plate or a cup)

Petroleum jelly

A small rock

A sheet of white paper

Spread petroleum jelly on the plate or cup and then use a rock or other heavy object to weigh it down. We used the clear plastic front from a picture frame.

Take a before picture and leave the cup outside for twenty-four hours. The next day, place the white paper behind the plate or inside the cup to make it easier to see all the particles that have collected in the petroleum jelly.

2. Compost Bottle

Explaining how composting works can be tricky, even when you have your own compost bin, because it's all contained. Make your own transparent compost bottle so the kids can discover how the process of decomposition actually works.

Here's what you'll need:

An empty, two-liter, clear plastic bottle

Soil

Leaves, grass clippings, other yard waste, or compostable kitchen scraps

Remove any labels from the bottle and cut off the top. Fill the bottom with soil and then add a layer of compostable material. Alternate layers of soil and materials until you fill up the bottle. Add a small amount of water-just enough to make it wet without soaking. Place the bottle outside in a place where it will get sun and won't be disturbed.

Let it sit for several weeks and check it regularly to see the decomposition. For older kids, you might also consider keeping a scientific journal where you can note how the compost changes on a daily basis.

3. Glacier Melt

How glaciers form and melt is a complex process that can be hard to explain to younger kids, but you can make a simple re-creation at home with ice and soil.

Here's what you'll need:

Fill a plastic container with water and freeze it. Grab a small tub or bin and fill it with dirt. Throw in some leaves or other garden debris. Put the bin outside in a sunny spot and prop it up so that it is on a slight incline.

Place the frozen ice block in the bin at the top of the incline and let it sit. Depending on how hot it is, you can let it sit for several hours and observe as it starts to slip down to the bottom end, hopefully picking up some of the dirt along the way.

After it has slid down a bit, stick the whole bin back in freezer and let it reset. Once it has refrozen, take it back outside and repeat the process. You can do this multiple times.

Ask your kids how the ice changed as it melted and froze again. Have them note how the dirt "landscape" changed as the ice moved across it. They can write down their findings in their scientific journals.

4. Oil and Soap Experiment

You've probably seen pictures of wildlife affected by oil spills and of rescuers' efforts to clean these animals. One of the simplest science experiments for kids uses a petroleum-free dish soap to demonstrate the process of emulsification, or the mixing of two liquids that normally tend to separate. This easy experiment illustrates why water alone will not remove oil from a bird's feathers and shows that you also need an emulsifying agent.

Here's what you'll need:

An empty plastic bottle

Cooking oil

Natural food coloring

Dish soap

Fill the bottle about halfway with water. Add about 1 tbsp. of cooking oil and observe. Because water is denser than oil, the liquids will separate and the oil will rise to the top. Add a few drops of natural food coloring and observe what happens.

Next, add 2 tsp. of dish soap, which acts as an emulsifier by breaking the oil down and allowing it to mix with the water. Notice how the food coloring tints the water to a uniform color and the oil no longer rises to the top.

These cool science projects are a great way to teach kids about the environment, and since they are so much fun, the kids won't even realize the activity is educational. Tweet us the results of your own science experiments!

1. Something that can be done in 1 lesson
2. A project that involves a few lessons
3. Both ideas have to centre around the theme of 'Sustainability'
