Create, enjoy and learn from ThinkTac's Experiential Science Annual Programme, aligned with the NCERT curriculum, which is fun-filled and can be done safely at the comfort of your home. These do-it-yourself activities are not only cool but also help you better understand what you are learning in your classroom for the year 2024-25. Please note that live facilitation will not be offered; however, in case of any questions or doubts, students can contact us on WhatsApp or by email.

Programme Features:

  1. Material kit to make six activities will be shipped to your home.
  2. A activity handbook with DIY guide, hypothesis, observation and inference worksheets is included in the package.
  3. In case of any questions or doubts, students can contact us on WhatsApp or by email.
  4. You can join unLab, our online platform, to access videos and additional content
The list of activities included in this are:

SL TACtivity Concept Covered
1 DIY Electromagnet
  A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field, i.e. it becomes an electromagnet. In this TACtivity, we wind enamelled copper wire around a nail and connect the two ends of the wire to a cell. How does the nail start to behave? Can it start to lift iron filings, or does it have an effect on paper/safety pins?
2 Flick Knife Model
  This wonderfully designed pocket "knife" demonstrates several fundamental concepts in physics. Made using only ice creams sticks and rubber bands, you get to experience the conservation of energy, a simple Class I lever, and the vital role friction plays where we least expect it!
3 Water Spray Model
  The flow of any fluid occurs from a region of higher pressure to that of a lower pressure. In this TACtivity, we use a couple of pieces of straw to make a "pump" that not only draws water up but sprays it out in thrilling fashion as you blow through one of the straws!
4 DIY Copper Sulphate Crystals
 One of the most classic, and also fascinating, ways to grow a crystal. The dazzling blue colour of copper sulphate makes it visually one of the most appealing crystals. A saturated solution of copper sulphate is allowed to cool in a container. Over time (several hours to days) crystals start forming at the bottom of the container. By routinely filtering out the solution and re-introducing the filtered solution to the growing crystal(s), one should be able to grow large, blue crystals of copper sulphate.
5 Mixture - Types
  There are two main categories of mixtures: homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures. In a homogeneous mixture, all the substances are evenly distributed throughout the mixture (saltwater, air, blood, etc). In a heterogeneous mixture, the substances are not evenly distributed (chocolate chip cookies, pizza, rocks, etc). Heterogeneous mixtures also includes colloids (milk, smoke, dust in air). We explore a few interesting properties of these two types of mixtures in this TACtivity.
6 Magnetism - Field Lines
  Magnetic field lines are used to represent magnetic fields. They are continuous and form a closed loop, conventionally directed from the north magnetic pole to the south. In this TACtivity, we use bar magnets, ring magnets, a cardboard piece and iron filings to observe magnetic field lines.
