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.
