Experiment in Everyday Life:

Experiment in Everyday Life:

Experiment 1:

Objective: Leave some old bread out till it has mold growing on it and describe what you see happening


Materials:

  • Bread
Procedure:
  1. Get a bread that you haven't ate for a long time
  2. Put in on a plate and wait for the result
Result: The molded bread start to spread from a small part to a big part which happens due to the fungus spreading to the whole bread.



Experiment 2


Objective: Can you make the ruler stick to anything after it has been rub?

Materials:

  • Ruler
  • Paper
  • Scissors
Procedure: 
  1. First, you cut the paper into small pieces using scissors
  2. Next, you rub the ruler on your hair for some time.
  3. After rubbing it on your hair, you can try to attract the small pieces of paper that you cut earlier to the ruler.
Result: We can see that after the ruler is being rubbed on hair it can attract small pieces of paper to the ruler. The thing to explain this is because of the static electricity that leads to the transfer of electron making the paper attracted to the ruler


Experiment 3

Objective: How does that instrument create music? How can you change the sound it makes?

Materials: 
  • A Guitar
Procedure:
  1. Try to pull the string without touch the fret
  2. Then try to strum while holding some of the fret
Result: We know that the guitar produces sound. The guitar produces sound from the vibration of the strings because the strings were strummed and this causes them to vibrate and produces sound. When it touches the fret, it sounded different because the vibration is much more little than the one without touching the fret

Experiment 4

Objective: How does the bicycle work and move?

Materials:
  • A Bicycle
Procedure:
  1. Ride the bicycle 
  2. Try to move the pedals slowly like your trying to move the bicycle
  3. Observe the bicycle especially the gears 
Result: As you can see, the gears near the pedal moves and it connects to the gear in the back wheel. These conclude that it needs power (energy) from the rider to move the pedal so it can give the command to let the rear wheel move.

Experiment 5:

Objective: Spin both hard-boiled egg and a raw egg

Materials: 

  • 2 Eggs
  • A Pot
  • Boiled Water

Process: 

  1. You boil the egg until the shell became much more harder
  2. You spin both eggs at the same time
  3. You observe the result
Result: So from the result, the hard-boiled egg stops first rather than the raw egg. It happens because there was heat in the shell so it will be much harder for the hard boiled egg to spin.
