Just like any other science that we learned in school, algebra, arithmetic etc., getting rich is a branch of science. Every science has its own set of laws that needs to be obeyed. Similarly, there are set of laws that govern the process of accumulating riches and the person who follows these laws will accumulate riches with mathematical certainty!

The law simply states that those who do things according to the law, be it on purpose or accidentally, will accumulate riches while those who do not follow the law, although out of pure ignorance, will remain poor no matter how hard they work! Although this may sound unfair to some, this is how The Law of the Universe works. This proves the utmost importance of the understanding of the Law.

Let us clear the air of some common misconceptions and fallacies with regards to accumulating riches.

1)     The environment that we live in is not the primary reason for getting rich. We are able to see rich and poor living side by side, in the same environment, and maybe working in the same job. This proves that getting rich is not primarily a matter of the environment. To think over further, it indicates that getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way, according to the law mentioned earlier.

2)     The talents that we possess are not the primary reason for getting rich. We can see all around us that many people who have great talents remain poor, and others who possess very little talents become rich. This shows that those who become rich do not accumulate riches solely due to their talents, but it is a result of doing things in a certain way, according to the law mentioned earlier.

3)     Being thrifty in not the primary reason for getting rich either. We can see many whom we define as scrooge, don’t get very rich and those who lavishly spent become very rich. This proves that being thrifty doesn’t promise riches, but it is a result of doing things in a certain way, according to the law mentioned earlier.

Now that we have talked so much about the way, the thought arises in our mind as to whether this certain way might be so difficult to follow that only a few may be able to do so. If so then why do we see all around us the talented and less talented become rich, the smart and not-so-smart become rich, the physically strong and the weak become rich, those who were born wealthy and those who were born poor, both become rich. So this proves that there is a certain way that is simple enough, yet requires deep understanding that we can follow to accumulate riches.

As much as there is a place for all insects in the bigger scheme of things, some ‘nocturnal’ insects can be really annoying to people. Night insects like mosquitoes, moths and the like, buzzes your ears constantly, they bite you, or even takes up residence in your home. Use a box-trap to catch some of these ‘nocturnal’ insects in the following science experiment:

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Flashlight
• Carton box
• Aluminium foil
• Plastic jar
• Rope
• Sticky tape
• Sock
• White paint
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Rubber band
• Glue & Stapler

HOW TO PROCEED:

1. Find a medium sized carton box, about the size of a large shoebox but one with flaps. Use scissors to trim away the sides of each of the four flaps as in the diagram above.
2. Paint the whole box with white paint and use scissors to cut out a rectangular piece of aluminium foil that will fit fully inside the back wall of the box (the side opposite the opening with the flaps). Stick the piece of aluminium foil against the inside back wall using glue.
3. Push the flaps slightly towards the inside of the box, so that the wedges come together where it was trimmed away.
4. Put the box upright so that the side with the flaps are facing you, and you can see the aluminium backing behind the flaps. Now, cut out a circular shape in the floor of the box about 120mm in diameter.
5. Use the scissors to cut away the toe end of an old sock, and stretch the opening of the sock over the sides of the opening in the floor of the box. Use a stapler to secure the sock to the sides of the circular opening in the floor of the box, so that it forms a ‘sock-tube’ leading towards the bottom of the box.
6. Fix a transparent plastic jar to the other end of the ‘sock-tube’, with several rubber bands twisted tightly over the sock-end, which is placed over mouth of the jar.
7. Next, make two small holes in the roof of the box, and place the ends of a piece of rope into each hole. Make a large knot on each end of the rope to prevent the rope from sliding, out forming a rope ‘handle’ for the box.
8. At nightfall, suspend the box from a tree branch and place an electronic lantern or flashlight upright at the back of the box, next to the aluminium backing so that the light is reflected outward.
9. Leave your box-trap out all night and observe your assets in the morning. You will have caught a large variety of nocturnal insects – especially mosquitoes and moths, which are the most annoying!

This science experiment works because nocturnal insects use the moon to navigate their surroundings. Nocturnal insects will hence be naturally attracted to any source of bright light, and will fly towards the light in the box being reflected off the shiny aluminium paper. Due to the clever flap design of the box which is folded slightly inwards, the insects find it hard to escape again. The insects become exhausted from flying around trying to escape, collapse, and fall through the sock into the jar below.

Many electrical devices are used as early warning systems such as burglar alarms, electric fencing systems and many more. Don’t you think it will be useful to have an early warning system for rain to warn you to close the windows and bring in the clothes from the clothesline? In the following science experiment you will build a device that can detect rain as soon as the first drops start to fall:

WHAT YOU NEED:

• 9 Volt battery
• Plastic coated copper wire
• 9 Volt buzzer or bell
• Clothespin
• Effervescent tables
• Wire cutters
• Rubber cement

HOW TO PROCEED:

1. Cut two pieces of thin plastic coated wire of about 2m – 3m each (or long enough to reach from the outside of your window to the inside of your bedroom where the buzzer and battery will be positioned). Use wire cutters to strip clean the ends of both wires. Make sure that one end of each wire has at least 30mm clean stripped, and the other side of each wire about 100mm clean stripped.
2. Push the 100mm stripped clean ends of both wires through a small opening in your bedroom window, and connects the other ends to the terminals of a 9-V battery, and an electrical buzzer or a bell. Use another shorter piece of wire to connect the battery and the bell to each other as in the diagram above.
3. On the outside of your window, connect a wooden or plastic clothespin to the other ends of the wires by winding it several times over each of the front ends of the clothespin. This will be your two contact pieces to complete the electrical circuit.
4. Place a small effervescent-type of tablet in between the two prongs with the contact pieces of the clothespin to prevent them from touching. You may need to experiment with several types of tables to find the most suitable one, which degenerate the fastest when coming in contact with water or ‘rain’.
5. Place the clothespin and tablet configuration on the sill of your window (you can use rubber cement to hold it in position).
6. When it starts to rain, the buzzer will go off and warn you that your clothes or curtains might get wet!

The power or ‘electrical energy’ stored in a battery can only be released and allowed to flow when a complete circuit is made out of wires or other ‘conductors’ that conduct electricity. In the above experiment, the electrical circuit is not complete until the prongs of the clothes pins with the wires wrapped around it are pressed together. When the rain drops degenerate and melt the effervescent tablet, the prongs with the wire contact pieces are pressed together, making a circular path between the battery and the bell. The current flows in a complete ‘loop’ from the battery through the ‘rain detector’ on the window sill to the buzzer and battery in your room. When the circuit is complete and the current is flowing, the buzzer sounds to warn you of the rain that started to fall!

At the same time the Egyptians invented the ‘shadow clock’, other cultures also developed a need to organize their time more efficiently. Amongst others, the Chinese, Greeks and the Romans developed another device for telling the time known as a ‘sundial’. Sundials do not necessarily work better than shadow clocks; it is just a slight variation to the shadow clock. Make your own ‘sundial’ to tell the time in this science experiment:

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Protractor
• Stiff card
• Compass
• Thick cardboard
• Glue
• Scissors

HOW TO PROCEED:

1. On a stiff piece of cardboard, draw a right angled triangle as in the diagram above. The short sides of the triangle should be about 150mm long, whereas the long side will be about 200mm, depending on the longitudinal angle used for your town. Make sure that you also add the base, below the dotted line.
2. Cut out the triangle, and make a fold along the dotted line to form the base for the triangle to stand on.
3. Make a thick base for your sundial out of corrugated cardboard or wood of about 150x300mm in size. Draw a semi-circle on the base as shown in the diagram above.
4. Glue the folded part of the triangle firmly to the base and place the sundial on a flat surface outside so that the triangle points north / south.
5. Mark the position of the shadow that falls on the base every hour. Notice that the shadow travels the same distance along the semi-circle every hour. On a sunny day you will now be able to tell the time by looking at the position of the shadow on your sundial!

In the above science experiment we have built a time indicating device called a ‘sundial’. This works because of the fact that shadows change direction, depending upon the time of day. The position of the sun in relation to a specific location on earth changes throughout the day as the earth rotates around its own axis every 24 hours. A ‘sundial’ like this one, uses a shadow’s position to tell the time. The position of a shadow on the semi-circle depends on the time of day, but it also depends on the season of the year. That’s because the sun’s position at a certain time of day is different in different seasons.

MORE FACTS:

The obvious problem with ‘sundials’ and ‘shadow clocks’ is that they don’t work during night time! The king of Egypt, was not satisfied having to check the position of the stars to know what the time is during the night, so one of his princes made him a water clock. A water clock works by taking a big bucket of water, fills it with water up to a specific line and then cut a small hole in the bottom of the bucket and marked off lines on the bucket after each hour had passed. The problem with a water clock is that water flows more slowly or quickly when the temperature changes. The same principle was used but the water was substituted with sand to make a sand clock. The inventor of the sand clock is unknown, but the sand clock or hourglass was commonly used in ancient times and is still used today.

Education never goes waste and we all know it. However, visiting a bookstore and buying books is something we cannot manage that often. And then we have the TV that keeps us occupied for a long time. Think of the next generation. They are already hooked on to so many other things like TV and games that reading books comes rather low on their priority list. So, is education not going to happen for us? It can happen and the Internet makes it possible to happen. There are some of these fantastic websites that educate you about anything and everything you want to know about. We are not talking about Wikipedia. We are talking about websites that give you information on topics in the form of online books and magazines. If you are looking for a science magazine or any other education magazine online then these are the websites to visit.

The way these websites work is very simple. You have the option of reading from these websites or writing for these websites. Once you become a member you can post your writing and have others read them. On the other hand, you can pick up any topic and read what other authors wrote about it. These websites cover every topic you can think of – topics for adults, topics for children, topics for men and topics for women and so on. You can access the best science magazine or any other education magazine online on these websites and enhance your knowledge.

Think of any topic that comes to your mind – astrology, business and finance, education and science, health, law, medicine, politics, wild animals etc. and you are sure going to find substantial items to read on these websites. The magic of these websites is that everything is arranged in a neat order. So, you have links to all the topics in one place and you just have to click the link to see the articles and writings on these topics.

Professional development is key to supporting effective science instruction. We call for a dramatic departure from current professional development practice, both in scope and kind. Teachers need opportunities to deepen their knowledge of the science content of the K-8 curriculum. They also need opportunities to learn how students learn science and how to teach it. They need to know how children’s understanding of core ideas in science builds across K-8, not just at a given grade or grade band. They need to learn about the conceptual ideas that students have in the earliest grades and their ideas about science itself. They need to learn how to assess children’s developing ideas over time and how to interpret and respond (instructionally) to the results of assessment. In sum, teachers need opportunities to learn how to teach science as an integrated body of knowledge and practice to teach for scientific proficiency. They need to learn how to teach science to diverse student populations, to provide adequate opportunities for all students to learn science. These needs represent a significant change from what virtually all active teachers learned in college and what most colleges teach aspiring teachers today.

One sound recmmendation: State and local school systems should ensure that all K-8 teachers experience sustained science specific professional development in preparation and while in service. Professional development should he rooted in the science that teachers teach and should include opportunities to learn about science, about current research on how children learn science, and about how to teach science.

Another sound recommendation: University based science courses for teacher candidates and teachers’ ongoing opportunities to learn science in service should mirror the opportunities they will need to provide for their students, that is, incorporating practices in the four strands that constitute science proficiency and giving sustained attention to the core ideas in the discipline. The topics of study should he aligned with central topics in the K-8 curriculum.

At last, Federal agencies that support professional development should require that the programs they fund incorporate models of instruction that combine the four strands of science proficiency, focus on core ideas in science, and enhance teachers’ science content knowledge, knowledge of how students learn science, and knowledge of how to teach science. To improve science education in the United States, changes are urgently needed throughout the system. Beginning with what is known about how children learn science, changes in teaching and in the education of teachers can and should begin now.

Two major considerations need to be taken into account when equipping a high school science or biology laboratory. The first is the curriculum and what experiments need to be demonstrated and the second is how many children will be in each class.

It is generally desirable to have no more than two or three students using each set of equipment. There should also be enough clean beakers, etc, so that time is not wasted in the short time allotted to the experiment by having to re-wash and clean equipment.

While there may be certain items of equipment unique to some of the experiments that the students will cover in the year, there are some basic items that you will find in virtually every school science laboratory.

Every laboratory should be close to emergency washing and even showering facilities. In addition, the lab should be equipped with an eyewash station.

Then there are the safety procedures that the teacher should be familiar with, as well as all safety equipment that would be necessary for himself and for each student. These include safety glasses, appropriate gloves when necessary for some experiments, lab coats to protect clothing and fire extinguishing equipment for all types of fires likely to occur.

The glassware that is normally part of a laboratory includes:

* Test tubes and graduated cylinders.

var CasaleArgs = new Object();
CasaleArgs.version = 2;
CasaleArgs.adUnits = “4″;
CasaleArgs.casaleID = 128654;

* Beakers, graduated in 50ml to 400ml capacities.

* Flasks of varying types, such as Florance flasks with rounded bottoms for heating substances, graduated Erlenmeyer flasks, Filter flasks with and without vacuum connections and/or taps. Volumetric flasks have a precise graduation mark for a specific amount of whatever substance is being measured.

* Pipettes; these come in single graduation for delivering one exact volume, called a Volumetric pipette. Then you get graduated pipettes which can hold different volumes of liquid, called a Mohr pipette.

* To go with the pipettes you get pipette bulbs or pipette fillers for sucking liquids into the pipettes.

* There are evaporating dishes and watch glasses that do the same things, but in much smaller quantities.

* Funnels and filter funnels.

* Stirring rods and chemical spoons.

Apart from the various items of graduated glassware, other measurements need to be taken as well. Electronic scales and balances are used to find out mass. There are a number of electronic instruments available for measuring dimensions, pH and moisture, among those things that may be relevant to the students’ experiments.

Bunsen burners are used in almost every school laboratory, and all the paraphernalia that goes with them, such as hoses, ring stands, a variety of clamps and supports, and wire gauze.

Other equipment includes crucibles with tongs, a variety of racks for test tubes and flasks, pestles and mortars, and stoppers of all kinds with and without holes for glass tubing.

Then you need the cleaning brushes and other equipment and appropriate cleaning agents for cleaning the laboratory apparatus.

Many school laboratories make use of microscopes and computers as well, depending on what experiments they are covering.

Today lab science has been removed from many elementary school curriculum due to modern teaching programs and cuts in school budgets. In addition, due to economy failing schools are having difficult times which have caused them to cut out the expensive costs of science laboratory equipment and school science lab supplies needed by a science class. However there are various options for the teachers in order to battle these conditions in the uncertain times of today’s world. The science experiment kits can be used by the science teachers to motive children interest and knowledge. With these incredible science experiment kits we will be able to help our children to create a positive attitude towards science.

There are various science laboratory equipment or science experiment kits are available in the present market, where you can do these experiments with your children. Similarly various other daily activities like how the milk curdles when you add vinegar and many more experiments can be done. With these experiments your children will definitely get through knowledge about science. However no two children are having the same interest on these science projects. Therefore depending upon the interest of your children there are so many incredible science experiment kits are available. Children will love five different things about the school science lab supplies.

1. First, they never have to wait for rain as they can see what causes a rainbow. With science experiment kit they can learn how a rainbow is caused by an interaction between water molecules in the air and rays of light from the sun.

2. Second they will love to see something change, grow and become more beautiful as the days pass. The science experiment kit helps them to see that everything on Earth takes time to happen.
3. Using gem formation science experiment kit children can watch how a gemstone is actually formed underground. They will love watching a gemstone form right before their eyes.

4. As each science laboratory equipment is safe and non-toxic so the children will love being able to participate in science experiments without having to wear protective equipment.

5. Finally children will love being able to do something different. By changing the format of teaching from strictly books to wonderful science experiments, a child’s eyes will be opened to the wonderful and limitless world of molecules and minerals.

As we are facing certain uncertain times, it is hard to predict whether we will be able to stop making cuts to school programs and their benefits. Using the science experiment kits, children will be kept interested and focused in the classroom.
