Tonight's after-school science club was electrifying! ⚡ The kids had a blast experimenting with static electricity watching our Van de Graaff generator. We made Barbie doll hair stand on end, sent cupcake tins flying, and even created mini lightning sparks! The excitement continued as everyone tried their own static experiments with balloons, making tissue paper butterflies dance and float. Science truly came to life in the best way! 🎈✨

Last week, our after-school STEM club had a blast exploring the science behind bubbles with the children from John Shelton Community Primary School. We learned about surface tension, how soap affects it, and had so much fun creating bubbles of all shapes and sizes!

STEM club for kids: Friction
Get ready for an action-packed week! 🚀 We're exploring the world of friction with finger skateboards—it's going to be epic! 🛹 Imagine racing across different surfaces and discovering how friction changes the game. Can't wait to see all our little scientists at Bedworth Heath Community Centre and Cheylesmore Community Centre, Library & C3 Coffee on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Let's make some science magic happen!
Tuesday:
Home ED STEM club: Forces and Motion
Thursday:
Kids STEM club: Bedworth - Forces and Motion
Friday:
Kids STEM club: Cheylesmore - Forces and Motion
Extremely busy and fun after-school club session at Manor Park Primary School in Coventry yesterday!

Fascinating Air Pressure Experiment: Balloon Inflation Magic! 🎈✨
In this experiment, we explore the principles of air pressure and its effects on objects within a closed system. By creating a jar with two holes in the lid and inserting a straw through each hole, we establish a sealed environment.
When I exhale air into the straw with the balloon, the air goes into the balloon, obviously making it inflate. But here's the mind-boggling part – even when we inhale air through the straw without a balloon, it still inflates!
This happens because sucking air out of the jar made the air pressure inside the jar lower than the air pressure outside. When the pressure inside the jar is lower than the pressure outside, air from the outside rushes into the jar through the pink straw. This makes the balloon inflate, even though we are not blowing air into it directly.
This experiment shows how air pressure works and how it can make things happen. It's a fun way to learn about science and how air behaves!

🚗✨ Explore the wonders of engineering with us at the Coventry Transport Museum ! While discovering the rich history of British transport, we got inspired to create our own elastic band powered car.
Our elastic band powered car is a simple yet powerful demonstration of stored energy and motion. When you wind up the elastic band, it stores potential energy. Release it, and that energy converts to kinetic energy, propelling the car forward. It’s a fun and educational way to learn about physics and engineering principles.
Watch the video to see how you can make your own and let your creativity roll! 🎨🔧

Welcome to Olympic STEM Adventures! This is the beginning of an exciting series where we'll explore the fascinating world of STEM through the lens of the sports that Team GB excelled in during the 2024 Olympics. We'll dive into hands-on activities inspired by each gold medal sport, uncovering the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics behind these incredible athletic achievements.
Our journey starts with shooting sports, where precision and physics play crucial roles. Today, we're creating a DIY popsicle stick and elastic band gun to shoot at targets, just like the trap shooters who clinched gold for Team GB. This activity not only promises fun but also teaches the principles of projectile motion and mechanics.
Stay tuned as we build, test, and explore various STEM concepts through each Olympic sport. Whether it's understanding gears and cogs in mountain biking or investigating buoyancy in rowing, every episode will offer a new adventure.

🏛️🛡️ Ready to step back in time and build your own piece of Roman history? Check out our video on how to make a Scorpion Catapult!
Scorpions were ancient Roman artillery used for precision attacks during sieges. These powerful machines could launch projectiles with deadly accuracy, playing a crucial role in Roman warfare. The Lunt Roman Fort in Coventry Lunt Roman Fort features an impressive replica of this iconic weapon, giving visitors a glimpse into the engineering prowess of the Romans.
Watch the video to see how you can create your own mini Scorpion Catapult at home! Don't forget to share your creations with us and tag @STEMGoesWild!

Experiment: Defy Gravity with Surface Tension!
Fill a glass with water, leaving a little space at the top.
Cover the glass with cheesecloth and secure it with a rubber band.
Invert the glass carefully.
Watch as the water stays inside!
Why it works:
Surface Tension: Surface tension is the force that makes water molecules stick together, forming a "skin" on the surface that blocks the holes in the cheesecloth.
Atmospheric Pressure: Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air around us. It's higher outside the glass than inside, pushing up on the water and preventing it from spilling out.
Science is amazing! 🌟 #ScienceExperiment #SurfaceTension #PhysicsFun
