Practical 25 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical the students will be able to build their own microscopes using equipment available in most labs. They will be even able to make their own lenses, using methods that might have been used in the early days of the invention of microscopes. This package includes a printout with an introduction, including a history of microscopes, as well as a printout template which students can use to build their microscopes with. The practical can be done in a 90 minute lesson and the microscope can be used in conjunction with their phones to take images of the slides they observe, adding a modern touch to this old instrument. The practical takes in the history, while also giving students a hands on experiment to explore a concept that is difficult to grasp. They can even take the microscope home with them and all the material is recyclable, making this a good practical for the environmentally conscientious school. This is definitely a practical they won’t forget. More about the History in STEM practical Series This series is designed to bring quality cross-curricula material to STEM subjects, that help students to explore and discover phenomena normally taught, while getting a glimpse into the history of its development. In addition, a number of the practicals give the students the opportunity to play “Mythbusters”, looking at a number of different methods and having to reason why one or the other was the more likely or useful method. From Ancient Greece to Vikings, China to the Golden age of the Muslim empire and beyond to India, the series takes a look at some of the most important STEM achievements throughout history. There is a plan for about 40 of these such practicals in this series, so, if you liked this one, consider looking at some of the others, or check out some of the bundles available.

Practical 26 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical the students will be able to build their own telescopes using equipment available available for less than 5 dollars. They will be even able to make their own lenses, upcycling plastic bottles. This package includes an experiment printout with an introduction including a history of astronomy pre and post invention of the telescope. The practical can be done in a 60-90 minute lesson or split up over multiple lessons if needed. If you want, they could even take the telescope home for further investigation/homework tasks to extend the use of the project.

Practical 23 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical, “Round the World” is a chance for the studens to build a model solar system that they can use to make mathematical calculations with. Start with a history of how the current heliocentric model was developed, before having the students use simple tools and materials (pencils, glue, scissors, cardboard boxes and rubber bands), to build a moving model of Earth, Venus and Mercury around the Sun. Then, have the students use the model to calculate ratios of year length, before finally analysing the models strength and weaknesses, with a research task to compare the year length calculated for Mercury and Venus, with that of the accepted values by the broader scientific community. This combines history, physics and mathematics and art all in one lesson. Includes diagrams and tips for the teacher for alternative ways to approach the task depending on time and skill level of the students. Also includes a print out template for the students to glue to the cardboard for easy cutting and for decoration of the model.

Practical 27 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical the students will be able to test the effect of various heat treatments on bobby pins to determine what properties each treatment gives, and what would they appropriately be used for. The practical does not require much equipment, but gives real quantitative data for comparision. It also gives a chance for the students to delve into the history of metals. The introduction discusses the Stone, Bronze and Iron ages, as well as some examples of how heat treatment was used throughout history. When working in a group, if the equipment was already laid out, the data for this practical could be collected in 45 minutes.

Practical 22 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical, “Oh Mummy” is a great biology/history cross over, as students test various methods to mummify a piece of apple. Easy to set up, this practical is great for generating discussions in a number of areas of biology, ranging from human anatomy, looking into how food is broken down, or even cultural practices (due to the introduction covering mummification practices of multiple nations), just to name a few. You can even encourage the students to brainstorm on additional theories to test, allowing the students to go through the scientific method. A real all-rounder, interesting practical that the students will remember for years to come.

Practical 21 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical, “The Slow Roll” takes a look at two classic experiments completed by Galileo in order to “prove” that a falling object does in fact accelerate when it falls. The most difficult object to get will be a ramp long enough for the test, however, I have used cardboard shipping tubes (for posters and the like) in the past to great success. This practical is also great because it gives the students another way to measure time, getting them to think outside the box of what can be used to take measurements and even to get accurate results. This is a practical they will be sure to remember.

Practical 24 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical the students will test out the age old proverb of “Red Sunset, Sailor’s Delight. Red Sunrise, Sailors Warning”. This practical will take a few weeks to complete, but requires almost no material, beyond what many students have, namely a camera (or phone), pen and paper. The students observe the colour of the sunset over a time period set by yourself, and record what the weather is like the following day. The practical includes history of how people attempted to predict weather in the past, continues to an experiment with observations and finishes with a short research activity where the students go online to research other proverbs. This one is perfect for group work and allows for a great cross-curriculum link between Science, Mathematics, History and Geography.
