Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide

 In this practical activity, a weighed sample of magnesium ribbon was strongly heated in a crucible, lifting the lid periodically to admit oxygen while preventing oxide smoke from escaping until constant mass was achieved and confirmed the empirical formula as MgO.

Investigating How We See things

 Students used a shoe box model to explore how light enables vision. By looking into the dark box, they discovered that objects inside remain invisible without light. Shining a flashlight through a second hole allowed them to see the object clearly, proving that light must reflect from a source into our eyes for sight to occur.

Simple Filter

In this activity, Stage 3 students explored the process of filtration by separating a mixture of sand and water. Using filter paper lined inside a funnel,  poured the cloudy mixture through. Students observed how the porous paper successfully trapped the solid sand particles as residue, while allowing the clean, filtered liquid to pass into the beaker below as filtrate.

Ion Matching

Students of the Class IX IGCSE performed an "Ion Matching" activity in Chemistry class.
They used colorful cards with names and charges of different ions.
The activity required students to pair cations and anions to form neutral compounds.
Each student selected cards and explained the valency and formula of the compound. They also use simulations for better understanding of the concept.
This hands-on activity helped students understand ions, charges, and chemical formulas better.
It made learning about chemical bonding interactive and engaging.Students participated with great interest and showcased their understanding through the activity.

Soluble and Insoluble

The students of Class 2 Cambridge performed a "Solubility" activity in class.

They used jars of water, vinegar, and oil to test different substances.

Students observed that salt dissolved quickly in water and vinegar, but did not dissolve in oil.

They learned that some substances are soluble in certain liquids and insoluble in others.

The activity helped them understand the concept of soluble and Insoluble through direct observation.

It was a fun, hands-on experience that made science learning interesting.
