Make a hole at the center of the bottom of two paper cups

Insert a long string through each hole and tie a knot at the ends of the string in the interior of the cups so that the  string doesn't come out through the hole. Speak through one end of the cup and hear from the other. You will feel the vibration of the sound through the string and cup!

Experimental class

Candle and glass experiment

 Children watch as the candle burns in air.

 They cover the candle with a glass container. They wait and watch as the candle burns out without air! Thereby proving that fire burns only when air is present.

They pour shells one by one into a glass container to watch the bubbles appear as the shell touches the water surface and disturbs the air. Thereby proving that air is present in water!
