Build a Telescope - History of STEM practicals - History of Astronomy

(0)
Practical 26 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical the students will be able to build their own telescopes using equipment available available for less than 5 dollars. They will be even able to make their own lenses, upcycling plastic bottles. This package includes an experiment printout with an introduction including a history of astronomy pre and post invention of the telescope. The practical can be done in a 60-90 minute lesson or split up over multiple lessons if needed. If you want, they could even take the telescope home for further investigation/homework tasks to extend the use of the project. More about the History in STEM practical Series This series is designed to bring quality cross-curricula material to STEM subjects, that help students to explore and discover phenomena normally taught, while getting a glimpse into the history of its development. In addition, a number of the practicals give the students the opportunity to play “Mythbusters”, looking at a number of different methods and having to reason why one or the other was the more likely or useful method. From Ancient Greece to Vikings, China to the Golden age of the Muslim empire and beyond to India, the series takes a look at some of the most important STEM achievements throughout history. There is a plan for about 40 of these such practicals in this series, so, if you liked this one, consider looking at some of the others, or check out some of the bundles available. 51şÚÁĎ Â© 2020 The Efficient Science Teacher All rights reserved by author.

Camera Obscura - History of STEM practicals - Room With A View Part 1

(0)
Practical 17 in the History in STEM practical series. This is part 1 of a 2 part series of practicals covering the history and development of the camera. This practical starts looking at the camera obscura and gives a variety of uses for the phenomona, including as an eclipse viewer and as a full room camera obscura. As always, there is an intro looking at the history of the camera obscura, including its use across the world and a quick look at its discovery. The practical could be completed in as little as 45 minutes, but is probably best suited for 90 minutes, to give students time to explore.

Archimedes' Eureka - History of STEM practicals

Part 2 in the History in STEM practical series. This time we are taking a look at the famous experiment regarding the link between an objects volume and water displacement, in order to calculate the density of a dodgy crown by that eccentric scientist Archimedes. Note: The “Crown” in the practical can be anything you want. However, it will link better to the story if it is a crown.

Viking Sunstones - History of STEM practicals - Refraction and Birefringence

(0)
Practical 4 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical we are looking at the Viking Sunstone, the theoretical genius navigation method, making much of the Viking exploration possible. Working with Icelandic Spar (Calcite Crystal) which, through the process of birefrigence, causes light passing through it to be refracted at two separate angles. Using this, with some small effort, research has shown that the stone could be used to locate the sun, even on an overcast day, within a few degrees, allowing for the journey to continue.

Practical 3 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical we are looking at the famous cup attributed to Pythagoras. Working with a siphon, it “punished” anyone who became too greedy. Students will be able to produce their own “Greedy cups” as they are otherwise known, using some simple materials, most of which you may already have in your staff kitchen cupboard.

Force and Tensile Strength - History of STEM practicals - Paper Part 1

(0)
Practical 9 in the History in STEM practical series. This is part 1 of a two part mini-series on the history and development of paper. In this practical, paper is pitted against papyrus in a battle to see which of the two can support the most weight and has the higher tensile strength. There are two methods available, one with pre-purchased papyrus and another with full instructions on how to make papyrus from scratch to test the different properties. Once you have the papyrus paper, the practical can be run with little equipment and is easy to improvise and adapt to what you already have in the lab.

Water Alarm Clock - History of STEM practicals - Pressure and Displacement

(0)
Note: This would be a great followup practical after completing your Pythagoras Cup. Practical 5 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical we are looking at the humble beginnings of the alarm clock. This version is based on a design believed to be used by Plato, to make sure he got up on time. It teaches a number of concepts, such as siphons, as well as displacement and air pressure. It takes the principle of the cup and applies it in a new way. When the water siphons into the vessel, it displaces the air out, forcing it through a whistle, causing it to sound. You can tweak the practical to have the time it takes for the alarm to go off, to suit whatever purpose you like. This is probably more than a single lesson practical, but might be a good collaborative project. Bring the Arts department in to get some cool decorations for the clock. Get the history team to talk about Plato and the philosophers of ancient Greece and turn this practical into a real cross curriculum event.

Barometer - History of STEM Practicals - Pressure + Climate - Distance Learning

Practical 10 in the History in STEM practical series. In practical 10 we exam the history of the humble barometer. From 1000s of years of misconceptions about the workings of air pressure and vacuums, it was only in the 1600s that enough of an understanding was there in order to build this useful weather predictor. In the practical section there are two methods for building a barometer for yourself. With this practical using easily obtainable household materials to build the instrument, this is a perfect experiment to be done via distance learning if needed. As an addition, there are instructions for a very BIG teacher demo that is sure to be remembered.

Free Fall Part 2 - History of STEM practicals - The Slow Roll

(0)
Practical 21 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical, “The Slow Roll” takes a look at two classic experiments completed by Galileo in order to “prove” that a falling object does in fact accelerate when it falls. The most difficult object to get will be a ramp long enough for the test, however, I have used cardboard shipping tubes (for posters and the like) in the past to great success. This practical is also great because it gives the students another way to measure time, getting them to think outside the box of what can be used to take measurements and even to get accurate results. This is a practical they will be sure to remember.
