Group : Collection of Instructables for class-room and teaching purposes ...
Hi !
I created a group that seems not to have been ever created here yet.
"Class-Room" group.
The main purpose of this group is to make a collection of every instructables that may be useful for school teaching, and that may be reproduced by pupils or students as science-fair or class-room projects ...
Please, add your Instructables if they fit this description.
_
Biology :
"Be a Scientist : map your skin"
Chemistry :
"Carbonating"
"Kitchen laboratory II : The CO2 trap"
"Make crystal clear ice !"
"Make Rheopectic slime in less than 15 minutes !"
"Shelling a raw egg !"
"Sodium Acetate"
Investigations :
"Amazing Kite For Under $5"
"How to make Playdough (Play-doh)"
"Oobleck"
"Pop-Up 3D words and messages !"
"The Huffin' Hoopster"
"The Improved CD Hovercraft."
Physics : Electricity & Electrostatics :
"Build an Electrostatics Motor"
"Jacob's Ladder Sculpture from found materials"
"Kelvin's Thunderstorm : Create lightning from water"
"Paper Resistor"
Physics : Instruments & Measures :
"Be a Scientist : Make your own force-meter."
"Be a Scientist : Make your own thermometer"
Physics : Magnetism :
"A simple mechanical resonance demonstrator"
"Diamagnetic Levitation Experiment"
Physics : Optics :
"Naff Movie into _DVD-Spectra_"
"Optical Water-Prism"
Physics : Sound :
"How to measure the speed of sound ..."
"Mechanica Wave Driver for Chladni Plate"

With a little imagination, one could use nearly everything (modified of course) for classroom teaching I would think. You should have seen the volcano I constructed from scratch while I was in H.S. Flames, real molten lava, smoke, and lots of white sparks. My Sci teacher was impressed (of course, we "lit" it out in the parking lot LOL)

And what about reproducing it and making an instructable ??? ;o)

I mean, one could use most of the instructables in one way or another, for the classroom.

As soon as I posted, my error. Hmm, that was over 32 years ago....I wonder if I can still get salt petre and magnesium "on the cheap" still ?

Nice idea, but haven't we already got an education group?

I tried to classify them to make the collection more "user friendly" ... Though, maybe, some of them could be put in one or several category ... or some are in the wrong category. Would you, please, give it a look and tell me how I could improve this list ? Also, I don't know where to put the tow last ones ...

To be picky, Electricity & Electrostatics, Magnetism, Optics, and Sound are all branches of Physics. Maybe those particular two could be classed as "Instruments" or "Measuring". The "Ice" one could go in chemistry, or start a "materials" classification, and the hovercraft could start an "investigation" classification (in UK science classes, general investigative skills are taught as a fourth branch of science, along with physics, chemistry and biology).

Thanks Kiteman :-)
I will try to follow this model when the collection will grow.
