Description

Science, as we all know refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. Science is a unique combination of Theory and Practice. A thorough knowledge of this subject is almost impossible without proper practical demonstrations which are also termed as Scientific Experiments or Projects.In this book, 71+10 New Science Projects (Junior), the author has taken up the simple facts and principles of Science, such as: Air Pressure, Volume and Density, Gravitational Force of the Earth, Surface Area of Solids, Fun experiments with Matchsticks, Water, Glass Bottle, Dishwashing Liquid, Oil, Candle, Balloon, etc., which are easily available for children and projected them in a simple and lucid language for the readers, particularly the school kids who can easily perform these experiments at home or school , of course with the help and guidance of their parents, elders or teachers. The book is meant for children of all age groups, particularly from 6 to 13, who can perform and experience the thrill of these fun-filled experiments as well as learn the basic principles of Science easily and quickly. Therefore, this book is a must read for all school kids, especially those from classes, five to nine to learn as well enjoy conducting all the 81 Fascinating Projects listed in the book, each explaining or proving some scientific theory or law. So go ahead children, enjoy reading, learning and experimenting!

Publisher’s Note
I n line with a number of books and best-sellers in Science for children, particularly the school students, V&S Publishers have now come up with two new books on Science Projects and Activities namely 71+10 New Science Projects Junior and 71+10 Science Activities .
In the present book, 71+10 New Science Projects Junior , the author has taken up the simple facts and principles of Science, such as: Air Pressure, Volume and Density, Gravitational Force of the Earth, Surface Area of Solids, Fun experiments with Matchsticks, Water, etc for children and projected them in a very simple and lucid language for the readers-particularly the school kids who can easily perform these experiments at home or school , of course with the help and guidance of their parents, elders or teachers.
Basically, the prime idea behind publishing such books are that they are educative as well as interesting and full of fun. Children of all ages, particularly from 6 to 13 can perform these fun-filled experiments and learn as well - the basic principles of Science easily and quickly. Moreover, Science, as we all know cannot be understood properly and learnt theoretically without practical demonstrations or experiments - in order to test and prove the different scientific laws and theories.
Therefore, this book will enable all its readers, especially the young ones to learn as well enjoy performing all the 81 Projects listed in the book, each explaining or proving some scientific theory or law - making it really worth reading!

THE HELP OF YOUR PARENTS/GUARDIAN/TEACHER
Directions
What is lighter than air? Do this experiment to find the answer. Tie a piece of string to the centre of a wooden dowel and attach the free end of the string to a support, such as the centre of a doorway. Tape equal lengths of string to the bottom of 2 paper bags and tie these upside down to the ends of the dowel. Adjust the paper bags so that they balance perfectly on the dowel. Hold one of the bags in its balanced position and ask one of your parents to light a candle and hold it under that bag for several seconds. When the candle is taken away, let go of the bag. The bag will rise.

Explanation:
The candle flame heats the air inside the bag. This hot air is surrounded outside by cooler air. The cooler air is heavier than the hot air and lifts the bag of hot air upwards. What is lighter than air? Air, of course!

2 Boomerang Returns to the Thrower
Things Required:
Cardboard
Pencil
Scissors
Book
Directions
1. Draw a V-shaped pattern like the one shown in the illustration on a piece of smooth, stiff cardboard. Cut it out, making sure the corners are rounded.

2. Hold a book in your left hand, with the binding pointing upward at an angle. Place the cardboard shape on the book so that one arm hangs off the side.
3. Hold a pencil along the side of the book. Quickly move the pencil forward and strike the cardboard so that it spins and flies off the book. In a few seconds, the cardboard will be back at your feet!
Explanation:
You have just made a boomerang . Because of its shape, the boomerang returns to the thrower, continuing to spin in the same path without turning over, Boomerangs, used by native Australians and usually carved from wood, can be used as weapons, or for hunting, or just for the fun of it.

3 Compressed Air
Things Required:
Cork
A glass soda bottle
Petroleum jelly
Water
Directions
1. Find a cork that will fit a glass soda bottle. Now, rub petroleum jelly around the sides of the cork.

2. Fill the bottle with water, about 1 inch from the top. Set the cork in the mouth of the bottle, but do not press it down. Instead, form a tight fist and slam the cork with one sudden blow. The cork will pop out. Now, press the cork in place slowly. It will stay there.
Explanation:
Scientists say that air is elastic. When the air is squeezed, it will press right back. This is what happened when you forced the cork down suddenly. The air left in the bottle was squeezed, so it pushed upward and sent the cork flying out. However, when you press the cork in slowly, the compressed air has time to leak through the seal between the cork and the glass.

4 Surface Area
Things Required:
2 sheets of paper
A chair
Directions
This experiment takes only a few seconds to perform, but you may want to repeat it a few times and think about the scientific principle before reading the explanation at the bottom of the page.
1. Use two sheets of paper that are exactly alike. Crumple one piece of paper into a ball. Do not do anything to the other piece.
2. Stand on a chair and hold one piece of paper in each hand. Extend your arms as high as possible. Drop the crumpled piece of paper and the flat piece at the same time. Which paper falls faster? You know that they both weigh the same. Can you explain the difference in speed?

Explanation:
Even though both the pieces of paper weigh the same, they are shaped differently. The crumpled piece is more compact and is, therefore, able to push through the air better. The flat paper has more surface area and the air pushes against this and slows the paper down. Engineers who build aeroplanes and rockets know this scientific principle very well. They design their vehicles with a streamlined shape so that they can slice through the air instead of pushing against it.

5 Currents of Hot Air
Things Required:
Aluminium plate
Pencil
Glue
Empty spool
Small block of wo
