2. Huff and puff apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huff_and_puff_apparatus

   Huff and Puff Apparatus respiration demonstration. The huff and puff apparatus is used in school biology labs to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is a product of respiration. A pupil breathes in and out of the middle tube. The glass tubing is arranged in such a way that one flask bubbles as the pupils breathes in, the other as the pupil breathes ...

3. Science fair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair

   A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.

4. Crookes radiometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

   This explanation is still often seen in leaflets packaged with the device. The first experiment to test this theory was done by Arthur Schuster in 1876, who observed that there was a force on the glass bulb of the Crookes radiometer that was in the opposite direction to the rotation of the vanes. This showed that the force turning the vanes was ...

5. Scientific instrument - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_instrument

   Historically, the definition of a scientific instrument has varied, based on usage, laws, and historical time period. [1] [2] [3] Before the mid-nineteenth century such tools were referred to as "natural philosophical" or "philosophical" apparatus and instruments, and older tools from antiquity to the Middle Ages (such as the astrolabe and pendulum clock) defy a more modern definition of "a ...

6. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

   Faraday's ice pail experiment is a simple electrostatics experiment performed in 1843 by British scientist Michael Faraday [1] [2] that demonstrates the effect of electrostatic induction on a conducting container. For a container, Faraday used a metal pail made to hold ice, which gave the experiment its name. [3]

8. Pressure experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_experiment

   The equipment used for pressure experiments depends on whether the pressure is to be increased or decreased and by how much. A vacuum pump is used to remove the air out of a vacuum vessel for low-pressure experiments. High-pressures can be created with a piston-cylinder apparatus, up to 5 GPa (50 000 bar) and ~2000 °C.

9. Kelvin water dropper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_water_dropper

   The apparatus can be extended to more than two streams of droplets. [ 4 ] In 2013, a combined group from the University of Twente (the Netherlands) constructed a microfluidic version of the Kelvin water dropper, which yields electrical voltages able to charge, deform and break water droplets of micrometric size by just using pneumatic force ...
