Perform An Elementary Science Experiment Using Balls for Students Or Your Children

Fancy equipment or complicated questions are not required for science experiments for elementary school students. Children can become curious when they see meaningful scientific experiments, performed by their parents or teachers. Parents and teachers should encourage the children to observe and manipulate common objects. Children should learn problem solving and find the answers for questions which were raised by their own.

Experiment with toys: Scientific investigation can be easy as thinking about how their toys work, I.e using their every play at work as source. Children can learn the things easily about motion and position through balls. They can learn about force, energy, position, and relative location as they push, pull, throw and drop the ball. Children and adults can perform the experiments jointly to capture the interest of the children.


Different experiments:

  • Take a box with different balls, they should be different in size, shape and material, etc.
  • Ask children the balls that bounces to more height.
  • Get the ruler, growth chart, any other measuring tool to measure the height to a wall or flat surface on the ground.
  • Tell the children how to hold the arm, out straight next to the growth chart to drop the ball and explain child that each ball will need to be dropped in the same way, by the same person and from same height to have reliable results.
  • Adults should see the bounces and height of the bounces of the ball on the growth chart at first time and again next ball for next time.
It is advised for parents and children to work together to record the description of each ball and it's bounces.

Like this you can do many science experiments to explain about science to children through the toys and balls.

Know about Wind Turbine Insurance

Wind turbines are made with two or three propeller-type blades that are installed in a large rotor, similarly large fans are installed on towers. The rotor is connected to a main shaft, by which a generator is turned to create electricity. Advantage of fast winds to spin the blades and capture energy is utilized by the turbines. Energy can be produced by the turbines for individual homes or businesses. And also these turbines can be attached to the electrical grid to create energy for more widespread use.

Wind turbine insurance's premiums are lower than premiums of your home insurance. These turbines need a good repair and it has more complex system of moving parts. If the gear box burns out, turbine becomes less operative. It is difficult to fix something at the top of the tower as there are so many problems. so wind turbine insurance can provide the coverage for these turbines. You need not take extra insurance for wind turbine, unless you are wiring your wind turbine or solar power system to connect to the power grid. If you run your wind turbine to a battery bank, then you need not connect this to power grid, therefore you do not need to spend more money on extra insurance.


You can have liability insurance and property insurance to get protection from financial loss. In this cases, chances of damage, accidents or problems are low. Insurance policy should cover risk of fire, ice throwing, lightning and theft.


If you maintain small wind system then common insurance policies can be extended to cover possible dangers which arises by wind turbines.
