Xperimania activities in Physics and Chemistry: “Check out the property”
Author: EUN News
Xperimania activities in Physics and Chemistry: “Check out the property” Secondary school students aged 10-20 years old, in groups of maximum two or three, are invited to participate in the ‘Check out the property!’ competition. Submissions uploaded before 30 April 2009 will be evaluated and the best entries will be awarded with a personal media player for each student and a stipend for their school to be spent on scientific classroom resources.
Students need to research a property – such as lightweight, water resistance or energy efficiency (a list of properties is provided on the website) - find out a way to test it and explain the results in a clear and structured way in a lab report. The lab report should be accompanied with an image, video or other multimedia documentation of the test process. This will help other students understand the experiment and learn from different materials and properties
The first entries in this year’s Xperimania competition “Check out the property” show a good example of how to benefit from the activities in a class room: in the French Collège La Fontaine several groups of students under the guidance of their teacher, conducted the same experiment on electrical insulation and uploaded the lab reports to the online gallery.
