TITLE NO 7 (LIGHT REFRACTION EXPERIMENT)
MATERIAL - Paper – self provided
- Marker – self provided
- Glass – self provided
- Water – self provided
INSTRUCTION 1. Draw two arrows on a paper. One arrow near the top and one arrow
near bottom. Make the arrows point in the same direction.
2. Fill a glass with water.
3. Place the paper 10mm away behind the glass of water.
4. Look through the glass of water and watch what happens. Observe
from far until you can see full view of image in glass.
SCIENTIFIC Refraction is the bending of light. It occurs when light travel from one
PRINCIPLE medium to another (i.e. Air to water, water to air).

During the experiment, the light travelled from the image through the air,
then through the glass into the water, and finally out of the glass and into
the air once more before it reached our eyes.

This means that the light bends once when it travels through the glass into
the water, and then it bends again when it travels out the glass and into
the air. As a result, the light paths cross and the image appears to be
flipped horizontally.

TITLE NO 8 (STATIC ELECTRICITY EXPERIMENT – using straw)
MATERIAL - Bottle with cover – self provided
- Straw
- Hair or wool cloth
INSTRUCTION 1. Rub a straw with your hair or wool cloth 20 times.
2. Place the straw flat on the bottle with cover.
3. Place both hands palm on the left and right side of straw (5cm away
from the straw and be careful not to touch the straw).
4. Move your hand slowly, and the straw seems to be controlled by
your hands.
SCIENTIFIC When wool cloth or hair rubs straw, it adds extra negative charge to the
PRINCIPLE straw. When the hands without static electricity are close to the straw with
static electricity, the hand will gather opposite polarity charge carried by
the straw. Opposite charges attract each other.

TITLE NO 9 (ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE EXPERIMENT – using ping pong ball)
MATERIAL - Bottle
- Ping pong ball
- Water
INSTRUCTION First
1. Put the ping pong ball on the bottle mouth.
2. Hold the ping pong ball with your hand.
3. Turn the bottle upside down.
4. Release the hand that hold the ping pong ball, and the ping pong ball
falls.

Second
1. Fill the bottle with water (full).
2. Put the ping pong ball on the bottle mouth.
3. Hold the ping pong ball with your hand.
4. Turn the bottle upside down.
5. Release the hand that hold the ping pong ball.
6. Ping pong ball has been sucked.
SCIENTIFIC This is the effect of atmospheric pressure. The pressure of bottle with full
PRINCIPLE water is lower than the outside. So the atmospheric presses the ping pong
ball on the bottle mouth.

TITLE NO 10 (STATIC ELECTRICITY EXPERIMENT – using balloon and water)
MATERIAL - Kitchen faucet
- Balloon
- Hair or wool cloth
INSTRUCTION 1. Turn on kitchen faucet to get a narrow, continuous stream of water.
2. Rub the balloon on your hair or wool cloth several times.
3. Place the balloon near, but not touching, the stream of water.
4. Observe how the water bends towards the balloon.
SCIENTIFIC When the balloon is rubbed on the hair or wool cloth, it will add extra
PRINCIPLE negative charge to the balloon. At this time, the water stream has neutral
charge. When the balloon with negative charge is close to the water
stream, water stream with neutral charge will gather the charge opposite
to the charge carried by the balloon, and the opposite charge will attract
each other, so the water stream bends towards the balloon.

TITLE NO 11 (REBELLIOUS BOTTLE EXPERIMENT)
MATERIAL - Plastic bottle with cap – self provided
- Pin
- Pigment
- Water
INSTRUCTION 1. Fill the bottle with water and add a small amount of pigment.
2. Tighten the cap of bottle to make sure the bottle is watertight.
3. Using a pin, make several small holes near the bottom of the body.
4. When the cap is tightened, the water will not leak.
5. When the cap is loosened, the water will spray out from the small
holes.
SCIENTIFIC The atmospheric pressure inside the bottle is less than the outside of the
PRINCIPLE bottle, so the small hole is covered with a thin water film. The external
atmospheric pressure supports the water at the small hole to prevent it
from flowing out. When the bottle body is squeezed or when bottle cap is
opened, the air pressure in the bottle increase. It causing the water film at
the small hole to break, so the water flows out from the small hole.
