4 Fun Science Activities to try with a Slinky Spring
Posted on October 24, 2016| Posted in Education
Aside from being huge amounts of fun, the slinky spring is a brilliant and versatile tool for demonstrating important themes in the CAPS curriculum. These themes include matter and materials, waves, sound and light and energy and change. Each of the 4 activities demonstrates a different theme. Some themes are repeated but with increasing complexity for older learners. Using the simple and inexpensive slinky spring, educators can bring science to life with realistic laser sounds, visible waves and even a slinky walking downstairs.
How to Neutralise an Acid
Posted on September 19, 2016| Posted in Education
Learners are far more likely to engage with and remember a topic if they can relate it to a real world experience. In the Neutralisation Reaction lesson below, we’ve created a real-life problem for the learners to solve.
How to get the Most from the Learner Chemistry Kit
Posted on September 8, 2016| Posted in Education
It’s surprising how many experiments you can do with the Learner Chemistry Kit. From testing for starch in a leaf, to collecting gases or evaporating a liquid, the kit is incredibly versatile and its design perfectly anticipates the needs of the Grade 4-12 Science teacher.
A Quick Guide to Choosing a Microscope
Posted on September 8, 2016| Posted in Education
From an early age, children are fascinated by the hidden world of the microscopic. To investigate creatures difficult to see with the naked eye or to discover that a smooth surface can actually look like a rugged mountain if magnified creates a longing to discover - to find something new. A microscope is the perfect tool to develop a love of discovery.
How to get Involved in Africa Code Week
Posted on September 8, 2016| Posted in Education
I recently attended a coding workshop as part of Africa Code Week. No, I’m not the IT guy at a school or on a career path towards becoming a programmer, but I do see that coding has huge potential to teach logic, mathematics and computer literacy. I also believe that Africa’s potential is untapped when it comes to this area of technology.
Neutralisation and pH Lesson Plan
Posted on September 8, 2016| Posted in Education
In this exciting lesson, John takes you through experiments to investigate Neutralisation and pH. The lesson plan covers neutralisation by reaction of acid and base and pH of metal oxides and non-metal oxides.
Neutralisation Reactions Experiment Printable
Posted on September 8, 2016| Posted in Education
Use this printable to add a touch of fun to the neutralisation reactions experiment demonstrated by John. Learners can choose their character and colour it in to further personalise the lesson.
Neutralisation Reactions Worksheet
Posted on September 8, 2016| Posted in Education
This worksheet is designed to support the neutralisation reactions video experiment and neutralisation and pH lesson plan. It’s a great tool to reinforce the content covered and to help learners remember the experiment.
