1. Water Balloon Catapult: Build a catapult using PVC pipes and rubber bands to launch water balloons. Experiment with different angles and distances.

2. DIY Mini Waterfall: Create a miniature waterfall using rocks, a water pump, and a waterproof container. Observe the flow of water and its effects on the surrounding environment.

3. Rainbow Bubble Snakes: Make colorful bubble snakes by attaching a sock to the end of a plastic bottle and dipping it in a solution of dish soap and water. Observe the shape and length of the bubbles produced.

4. Ice Excavation: Freeze small toys or objects in a container of water. Use salt, warm water, or tools to melt the ice and uncover the hidden objects.

5. Nature Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of natural items to find, such as leaves, feathers, rocks, or flowers. Explore the outdoors and document your findings.

6. DIY Solar Oven: Construct a solar oven using a pizza box, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap. Use it to cook simple foods and learn about solar energy.

7. Water Rockets: Build and launch a water rocket using a plastic bottle, water, and pressurized air. Observe the height and distance reached by the rocket.

8. DIY Rain Gauge: Make a rain gauge using a clear container and measuring markings. Place it outside to measure the amount of rainfall over a period of time.

9. Exploring Wetlands: Visit a local wetland area and study the plants, animals, and ecosystem. Take notes and learn about the importance of wetland habitats.

10. Water Filtration: Create a homemade water filter using different layers of materials like sand, gravel, and charcoal. Test the effectiveness of the filtration process.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
