"Engineeering" experiments/demonstrations for a class of 9/10 yr olds. HELP! – Page 2 – Chat Forum

My son has volunteered me to help with his science class next Tuesday, studying levers and forces etc. He piped up, telling teacher that I was an Engineer and the discussion clearly reached a point where he voluteered me to assist the teacher who said, "Engineering wasn't really her thing". It actually quite a daunting prospect not having done anything remotely like it at all ever. On the assumption that this is actually going to go ahead, I could do with some preperation and thought a few simple, experiments might help but I need inspriation/examples! See saw/balance/leverage etc as a starting point but they need to be safe!

Maybe combine some electrolysis and the bottle rocket.

Unbelievably, it was cancelled the week before.
Gutted and relived in equal measures.

Why not just get them to create a BIM model, all the rage these days.
