Building Science & Maths concepts through real experiences.
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact. Dry friction is subdivided into static friction…
Climate Change, in the most simple terms, is a concept revolving around the long-term changes and alterations in weather temperatures and their overall patterns. The large-scale shifts in weather patterns, global warming, and the use of greenhouse gas emissions are some of the aspects of climate change itself. It is…
The massive effects of the pandemic are to be seen in every part of the economy. In one way or another, each industry has been affected by the norms of social distancing. The education industry has also experienced some significant transitions. Without a doubt, the largest transition of all is…
Why does it rain? What is a cloud? How do machines work? Is there a difference between climate and weather? These are a few out of many 100 questions that students wonder about every day. Thinking from a learner’s mindset, they want to get out into the field and try…
Every year, professional scientists from all across the globe gather to research, share their findings and go through a lengthy and tedious process of figuring out how the year has been temperature-wise. These findings help us figure out the hottest year and give us a fair idea about the future…
Have you ever seen a plant growing at your home? If not, you must! It feels beautiful, especially when you are the one who is nurturing it. You won’t feel lesser than a parent. In this article, I am going to share very precious learning, that I got from nature.…
Did you know ? : Snakeless nation of the world Snakes are the venomous devil abundant throughout the world. Albeit, it is which place in this blue planet where snakes ,The devil which even finds its mention in the Holy bible, do not reside? Land where such reptiles are…
We talk about Aeroplanes, Ships, Bullet Trains making our life so fast and easily functioning. They are all inspired by our mother nature. Let’s take examples from our day to day life, designs of velcros, the shape of bullet trains, the smooth blades of wind turbines and what not,…
The human body is like an engine. And just like every engine, it needs fuel, in the form of food. We get the energy needed to sustain ourselves through food. There are a lot of nutrients in the diet we consume, but they can be broadly broken down into six…
Why do we respire? Before we understand respiration, let’s do a few experiments. You might be aware of the fact, that candle stops burning when we light it and cover it with a glass jar. In other words, when we stop the flow of air. You can also…
What is a Pulley? A pulley is a simple machine consisting of a grooved wheel through which a rope runs. The pulley can be thought of as a kind of lever if one thinks of the grooved wheel as the fulcrum of the lever. Then the effort force is the…
Have you ever thought, what is a human body made of? You are made of different organs like heart, brain, fingers or legs. They are further made of smaller units called tissues. Those tissues are further composed of the basic unit- called cells. They were first discovered by Robert Hooke…
A horse covered with striped cloth (click on image to go to image source) Have you ever wondered why a zebra has stripes? While even scientists don’t know the causes for sure, they have great reason to believe it has something to do with insect bites from bugs which are…
When we think of waves, we think of a sea beach with waves hitting the shore or a water pond with ripples running out in various directions. But, the fact is that we are living in the middle of a plethora of waves. Whatever we hear and whatever we see…
We use these all the time and yet, we never see them. Electricity & Magnetism are 2 powerful forces that we are addicted to. Fans, ACs, LEDs, Computers, Phones, Earphones, Induction Heaters…the list goes on and on. Can you imagine a world where this all was not available to humans?…
Here’s an interesting fun activity using Dry Erase Whiteboard Markers, a glass dish, some water and 2 straws. When we sketch some figures on to the glass dish with the markers it gets dried up. Subsequently on adding water slowly, the figures drawn leave the base of the glass dish…
Here is an interesting experiment that shows the power of air and its ability to move things. A simple can with some water starts moving and turning vigorously when it starts to heat up. This is because the water in gets starts getting converted into water vapor. The water vapor…
Water transportation through Xylem in plants. 0
Today we will demonstrate how transpiration takes place in plants. Transpiration is the process of removal or excretion of excess water from the plants. This normally happens through the stomata on the leaves. Transpiration helps in getting rid of excess water and also helps it to stay cool. For…
Let’s understand and perform cloud formation experiment! 0

The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the two polar ice caps of the Earth. It covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. It covers an area of almost 14 million square km and contains 26.5 million cubic km of…
What is DNA? DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can…
Albert Einstein was very clear in his day. Physicists are very clear now. Time is not absolute, despite what common sense tells you and me. Time is relative, and flexible and, according to Einstein, “the dividing line between past, present, and future is an illusion”. So reality is ultimately TIMELESS.…
Eleven dimensions, parallel universes, and a world made out of strings? It’s not science fiction, it’s string theory. Bestselling author and physicist Brian Greene offers a tour of this seemingly strange world in “The Elegant Universe,” a three-hour Peabody Award-winning miniseries. Part 1, “Einstein’s Dream,” introduces string theory and shows…
How Plants Communicate & Think – Nature Documentary HD You may not think of plants as particularly chatty or active organisms, but they’re not as passive as they might seem. Plants can’t run away, so they have to develop other strategies to stay alive, as James Cahill, an environmental plant…
Science experiments for kids are big in our home. My kids love them – and so do I. While teaching Kindergarten I made science experiments a priority. Kids are so naturally curious about the world around them and science experiments bring this learning fully to life. This is my ABSOLUTE…
We are settling into a new rhythm around here. We are generally outside more, the littlest of my wild ones is just coming out of his nap time, and I have been busy with our summer farming plans. All of that is to tell you that this amazingly awesome science…
