If you want to grow a genius of physics or chemistry from a child, then love of science needs to be instilled from the cradle.
It is not enough just to glue the wallpaper with the image of space, chemical elements or theorems from mathematics.
Love must be instilled wisely, with cunning, namely, through games and experiments that are more reminiscent of magic and fantasy.
Such games will help to draw the child into the world of science, making him interested in his origin. If everything is done correctly, the kid will love science and grow up very smart.
There are 4 unusual experiments that can be performed in just 3 minutes and without extra costs.
Hand tornado
Every kid at least once, but dreamed of holding a tornado in his hands or becoming the master of this element. Especially if your child is a fan of superhero movies. How to help him tame a tornado?
- We take an ordinary jar;
- We fill with water;
- Add dishwashing liquid and more;
- A few drops of food-grade paint.
Shake the jar in a circular motion. Act quickly to form a spinning funnel.
Invite your child to repeat your movements. Hand tornado in action!
Fuji
This game first appeared in Japan as an experiment in one of the lessons, and then migrated to everyday games.. So at home in just a couple of minutes you can show your child how a real volcano works.
For this you need:
- Tray;
- Baking soda;
- Dishwashing liquid;
- Vinegar;
- Food coloring.
Prepare a tray or dishes with high sides, but wide enough. In a separate container, mix a few drops of food coloring (preferably orange or red) with vinegar.
Pour ordinary baking soda on the bottom of the tray so that it covers the entire bottom. Add dishwashing detergent to the very center of the soda.
Now carefully start pouring vinegar. Try to get to the area of soda with dishwashing gel. So you get a real bubbling colored volcano!
Smoke master
This experiment is even simpler than others! For him, you need only 3 components and it will be possible to impress children with unusual bubbles.
- Take a tall flask; a plastic bottle with a trimmed top will do;
- Pour about 2/3 of the water, and then add the dishwashing detergent;
- Take a piece of dry ice with tweezers and lower it into water.
Done, now bubbles will rise from the bottle, which you can burst even with your hands. The magic is that after bursting bubbles in the palms of the smoke will remain!
Soap Bunches
Favorite summer game for all the kids! Instead of buying bottles for blowing soap bubbles that burst in just a second, you can make a better mixture at home.
Household bubbles can be blown out not only one at a time, but in whole bundles! The kid will be able to create whole patterns and even airy soap castles.
1 option:
- We take a plastic bottle, cut the bottom;
- We put the sock on it tightly and fix it with an elastic band;
- Dip the fabric in a solution of soap and water;
- Blow bubbles through the neck.
This method allows create whole snakes from bubbles. It looks very cool and bewitching!
2 option "Soap glass":
- We take an ordinary plastic glass, step back 2 fingers from the bottom and make a cut with the knife up;
- Insert a tube into the cut so that it rests with one tip into the bottom of the glass;
- We fill the container with water diluted with liquid soap.
Now you can blow bubbles in whole bundles! They can even be made colored by adding a couple of drops of food coloring to the water.
Such simple tricks will help children become interested in the principles of physics.
