Gummy bear osmosis

The “Gummy Bear Osmosis” activity is an exploratory, hands-on experiment designed for primary school students to understand the concepts of density and osmosis. By observing what happens to gummy bears placed in different solutions (pure water, saltwater, and sugar water), students learn how water moves across semi-permeable membranes and how density and solute concentration affect this process.

Lava lamp

The “Lava Lamp” learning activity is a hands-on science experiment designed for primary school students to explore the concepts of density and polarity. By creating a homemade lava lamp using common household materials, students observe how different liquids interact and how changes in density and polarity affect their behavior.
