4.
Building an improvised
separation funnel.
In this activity, we investigate how mixtures behave by understanding
how to separate a mixture of immiscible liquids such as cooking oil and
water.

Building a simple pendulum


In this activity, we build a simple pendulum to simulate how cycles occur
in nature

The Newton's Cradle


We take our simple pendulum a step further! In this activity, we construct
a functional newton's cradle
Assembling a model of the
Human Digestive System.
In this activity we follow the process of digestion in elementary cannal. We
do this by completing a puzzel that forms a model of the human digestive
system.

Observing Germination
In this activity we observe the prcess of germination and understand the
conditions nessesary for germination to occur. We plant two seeds in a
transparent observation cambers and observe what happen!

Filtration Using Filter Paper


In this activity we perform an experiment to demonstrate the process of
ltration using lter paper whiles experiencing plastic reuse!

Seeing How Plants Transpire


For this activity we perfrom an experiment to demonstrate the process of
evapotranspiration in the hydrological cycle.
Building a Food Cell
In this activity, we learn how dry cells work by using common food items
to build a battery that can generate enough electricity to light up an LED

Building a Simple Electrical


Circuit
In this activity we learn how to identify, connecting wires, batteries
(dry cells), switches and LEDs (of different colors) by building a simple
electrical circuit with these components

The Elastic Force Game


In this activity, we demonstrate elastic and compression forces by building
a catapult using rubber bands, and thin wooden sticks. Using our catapult
we will play an exciting game.
5.
Forming Clouds in a Bottle
This activity pops! We will construct a simple air pump and use it to
explore the formation of clouds. We will form clouds in a bottle

Showing Plants Where to Go


Using the concept of phototropism we will build a chamber to investigate
movement in plants as they respond to light.

Formation of Day and Night


In this activity, we building a setup to demonstrate the formation of day
and night.
Building a model of the
Human Respiratory System
In this activity we build a model to show the structure and organs of the
human respiratory system. Our model will also demonstrate the
mechanism of breathing.

Demonstrating Energy
Transformation
In this activity we will use a simple electrical circuit to demonstrate how
energy is transferred from one form to another.

The Effect of Temperature


Change
In this activity, we perform an experiment to show the relationship
between heat and temperature ( heat gain and heat loss). We use a
special material to demonstrate the effect of temperature change in
real-time
The Color Mixing LED Circuit
In this activity we explore how simple electrical circuits form the basic
unit of a television screen! We construct a circuit that can mix different
colors of light.

The Friction Race


In this activity we investigate the effect of friction on the movement of
wheels. We building a smooth and rough track and race two toy cars.

Greening the Environment


In This is a simple activity that will make a big impact. We will learn about
global warming and nurse several seeds of a fast growing tree. We will
Transplant the resulting seedling to help ght global warming!
6.
Building a model of The
Sun and Earth to Scale
In this exciting activity we will rely on math and computational reasoning
to construct a model on the sun and earth to scale using hexagons and
pentagons to form a sphere

Exploring how Evaporation


Contributes to Rainfall
In this activity we build a model to show the structure and organs of the
human respiratory system. Our model will also demonstrate the
mechanism of breathing.

Demonstrating that Oxygen


Supports Burning
In this activity we will use our understanding of atmospheric pressure
and the composition of air performing a simple experiment to show that
oxygen supports burning.
Building an Improvised
Thermometer
An activity to assemble an improvise thermometer and use it to measure
the temperature of cold and hot water

Making a model of the


Human Excretory Sysytem
In this activity we build a model of the human excretory system

Making a Model of the


Solar System
In this activity we learn about the relative sizes of planets by constructing
a scaled model of our solar system

Caring for a Plant from Seed


to Fruiting
In this activity we will follow the journey of a maize and Okra plant from
planting the seed all the way to bearing fruits.
Building an Electrical
Component
We are going to explore the concept of conductors and non-conductors
and apply what we learn to build a switch.

Exploring Series Connections


We'll learn how to connect two dry cells in series to increase the voltage
they supply in a circuit. We will also demonstrate how to connect an LED
and a Buzzer in series.

Building an elastic balance


In this activity we will apply the concept of elastic force to build a device
that can measure weight or the force applied to lift a giving weight. We
will use this elastic balance in another experiment to help determine
the mechanical advantage of a simple pulley system

Design and Make Simple


Machines
We set up simple pulley system to explore how machines help reduce
the effort required to do work. We use the elastic balance to measure
the mechanical advantage of our simple machine.
Practical STEM is now practical
