Operating Instructions: Sample Experiments
Below are detailed instructions for a few popular experiments. Refer to your Experiment Manual for all 150 activities.
1. Volcano Eruptions
Experience a classic chemical reaction simulating a volcanic eruption.
- What you need: Volcano model, Baking soda, Citric acid, Red pigment, Measuring spoon (1ml), Beaker, Stirring rod, Dropper.
- Extra Materials: Water.
- Scientific Principle: The reaction between baking soda (alkaline) and citric acid (acidic) produces carbon dioxide gas, creating bubbles and simulating a volcanic eruption.
- Prepare a beaker and pour in 30ml of water. Add 5 drops of red pigment and mix well.
- Place one spoonful each of citric acid and baking soda into the crater of the volcano model.
- Slowly pour the prepared red water into the volcano crater using the dropper. Observe the eruption.

2. Crystal Growing
Grow your own beautiful crystals and observe the process of crystallization.
- What you need: Crystal growing powder, crystal seed, 2 measuring cups, stirring rod.
- Extra Materials: Hot water (95-100°C).
- Scientific Principle: Crystals form when a supersaturated solution cools, causing dissolved substances to precipitate out and arrange into an ordered, repeating pattern.
- Pour 100ml of hot water into a measuring cup. Carefully add the crystal growing powder and stir until completely dissolved.
- Place the crystal seed at the bottom of another measuring cup.
- Pour the dissolved solution into the cup with the crystal seed.
- Cover the cup lightly and place it in a stable location at room temperature. Observe daily as crystals begin to form and grow.
3. Doodling Robot
Assemble a simple robot that creates unique patterns as it moves.
- What you need: Robot body parts, motor, battery holder, pens, googly eyes, wires.
- Extra Materials: AA batteries, paper.
- Scientific Principle: The robot uses a vibrating motor to create an unbalanced motion, causing the pens attached to its legs to draw random patterns as it moves across a surface.
- Follow the detailed assembly instructions in your manual to construct the robot body and attach the motor and battery holder.
- Securely attach three pens to the robot's legs, ensuring they can touch the drawing surface.
- Insert AA batteries into the battery holder and switch the robot on.
- Place the robot on a large sheet of paper and observe its doodling patterns.
4. Make Bounce Balls
Create your own colorful bouncy balls using a chemical reaction.
- What you need: Ball mold, bouncy ball powder (various colors), measuring cup.
- Extra Materials: Water.
- Scientific Principle: This project uses a chemical reaction to create a polymer. The bouncy ball powder contains polymers that, when mixed with water, cross-link to form a flexible, elastic material.
- Snap the two halves of the ball mold together.
- Carefully pour different colors of bouncy ball powder into the mold, layering them as desired.
- Submerge the filled mold in water for approximately 5 minutes.
- Remove the mold from the water and carefully open it. Gently remove the newly formed bouncy ball.
- Allow the bouncy ball to dry completely for several hours before playing with it to ensure maximum bounciness.
Maintenance
- After each use, clean all reusable tools (beakers, test tubes, spoons, etc.) with warm water and mild soap.
- Ensure all components are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or damage.
- Store all chemicals in their original containers, tightly sealed, and in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the Experiment Manual in good condition for future reference.
Troubleshooting
- Experiment not working as expected: Double-check the measurements and steps in the manual. Ensure all ingredients are fresh and correctly mixed.
- Missing components: Refer to the 'What's Included' section. If any essential parts are missing, contact UNGLINGA customer support.
- Chemicals not dissolving: Ensure water is at the correct temperature (if specified) and stir thoroughly.
- Messy experiments: Always use a protective mat or perform experiments in an area that is easy to clean.
