Experimental Alpha - 9th Grade

"Activity before Concept, Concept before Vocabulary". That is how you should learn science. Selected 25 experiments/activities from syllabus of physics, chemistry and biology for the class 9^th to help students learn science through experiment. These experiments will help them learn concepts better and forever.  

You will conduct variety of experiments  like:

• Observe human cheek cells under the microscope.
• Observe different types of plant cells.
• Separation of volatile and non-volatile components of a blue/black ink.
• Build a Gauss rifle and determine the effect the number of magnet stages has on the flight distance and velocity of ball bearings.
• Determine buoyant force when an object is immersed fully or partially in a liquid.
• Observe a section of stem under a microscope. 
• Students examine red onion tissue, looking for evidence of plasmolysis. 
• Displacement of copper by lead or zinc from copper sulphate solution.
• Analysing relative reactivity of different elements (single displacement, double displacement.)
• Determine the gravity using Photogate.
• Conducting experiment to prove 3rd law of motion.
• Conduct experiment using SpeedCart to prove law of conservation of momentum.
• Demonstrate law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction.
• Explore how much weight can the surface tension of water hold.
• Plot the magnetic line of forces using one magnet and two magnets.
• Investigate the diffusion of ions through a semipermeable membrane using apple cider vinegar and a pH sensor.
• Separation of two miscible liquids by distillation.
• Make a light spot dance using soundGrowing and microscopic examination of molds.
• Experiment to test solubility of ionic salts in water, kerosene, alcohol and different solvents.
• Determine if sound absorption by acoustic foam and similar materials changes with the frequency of sound.
• Understanding laws of reflection with set of experiments. 
• Bell jar experiment to show sound cannot travel in vacuum
• And more...

When you go back to your classroom, you would find understanding the concept easier, you would learn it faster, better and forever.

Number of experiments: 25

Duration:  6 days, 4 hour session each day.
