Fun Science Gallery
Fun, simple, low cost science experiments for amateur scientists!
Here you will find instructions showing you how to build scientific equipments from relatively cheap materials. Projects include instructions for making telescopes, microscopes, batteries, sidereal indicators, and several other instruments. Moreover, you will find programs on the lexical analysis of texts and the determination of the readability of texts, etc.
One of the first microscopes, invented by Anton van Leeuwenhoek, used a simple spherical glass lens as its objective. This might sound way too primitive to produce a useful image, but that's not the case. The article: "A Simple Glass-Sphere Microscope", part of our site devoted to "fun science," not only explains how such a microscope works, it also gives you the instructions on how to build one!
The Fun Science Gallery proposes laboratory activities such as performing scientific experiments or building instruments. Practical experiments are advantageous in that they call upon many of our faculties, not just those connected to language. They also have the important advantage of motivating children to engage in science. |
