Configuración

1. Unpack all components for the Dynamo Torch kit.
2. Assemble the generator mechanism according to the specific instructions provided in the kit's booklet. This typically involves connecting the motor, gears, and light bulb housing.
3. Asegúrese de que todas as conexións estean seguras.

En funcionamento

1. Hold the Dynamo Torch firmly.
2. Turn the hand crank or shake the device as instructed to activate the internal generator.
3. Observe as the mechanical energy from your hand motion is converted into electrical energy, illuminating the light bulb.

Mantemento

• Manteña o dispositivo limpo e libre de po.
• Almacenar nun lugar seco cando non estea en uso.

2. Green Rocket Experiment

Discover the power of air pressure by launching homemade rockets using recycled materials.

Configuración

1. Unpack the Green Rocket kit components.
2. Construct the rocket body using the provided materials and recycled items (e.g., plastic bottles) as per the kit's instructions.
3. Assemble the launch pad and connect it to a suitable air pump or pressure mechanism.
4. Ensure the rocket fits securely onto the launch mechanism.

En funcionamento

1. Take the assembled rocket and launch pad to an open, clear outdoor area, away from people, animals, and obstacles.
2. Place the rocket onto the launch mechanism.
3. Apply pressure to the air pump or mechanism. As air pressure builds, the rocket will launch into the air.
4. Observe the flight path and distance of the rocket.

Mantemento

• Inspect rocket components for damage after each launch.
• Store components neatly to prevent loss or damage.

3. Chemie Starter Set Experiment

Engage with basic chemistry concepts by making homemade cheese, a bouncy ball, and exploring dilatancy.

Configuración

1. Unpack all items from the Chemie Starter Set.
2. Read the specific instructions for each experiment (homemade cheese, bouncy ball, dilatancy) carefully.
3. Gather any additional household items required (e.g., milk for cheese, water).
4. Prepare a clean workspace and lay out all necessary tools and ingredients.

En funcionamento

Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the kit's booklet for each specific experiment:

• Homemade Cheese: Learn about coagulation by combining milk with an acid (e.g., vinegar, not included) and observing the separation of curds and whey.
• Bouncy Ball: Explore polymer chemistry by mixing specific solutions to create a solid, elastic material that can be molded into a bouncy ball.
• Dilatancy: Investigate non-Newtonian fluids by mixing cornstarch and water to create a substance that acts as a liquid when slowly handled but solidifies under pressure.

Mantemento

• Clean all glassware and tools thoroughly after each use.
• Store chemicals and solutions in their original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place.
• Dispose of any leftover experimental materials responsibly.

4. Volcano Eruption Experiment

Simulate a volcanic eruption and learn about geological processes and chemical reactions.

Configuración

1. Unpack the volcano model and all accompanying materials.
2. Place the volcano model on a stable, easy-to-clean surface, preferably outdoors or in a sink, as the eruption can be messy.
3. Ensure you have baking soda and vinegar (not included, common household items) ready, as these are typically used for the reaction.
4. Put on safety goggles before handling chemicals.

En funcionamento

1. Carefully add the specified amount of baking soda into the crater of the volcano model.
2. Optionally, add a few drops of red food coloring (not included) to the vinegar for a more realistic lava effect.
3. Slowly pour the vinegar into the volcano's crater.
4. Observe the chemical reaction between the baking soda (base) and vinegar (acid), which produces carbon dioxide gas, causing the 'eruption'.

Mantemento

• Rinse the volcano model thoroughly with water after each use.
• Ensure all components are dry before storing.
• Store the model and any remaining chemicals in a dry, secure location.

Resolución de problemas

If you encounter issues during any experiment, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:

• Experiment Not Working: Double-check that all steps were followed precisely. Ensure correct measurements and proper assembly.
• Compoñentes que faltan: Verify all kit contents against the packing list. Contact the manufacturer if items are missing.
• Chemical Reactions Not Occurring: Ensure chemicals are fresh and not expired. Verify correct ratios and mixing procedures.
• Preocupacións de seguridade: Immediately stop the experiment if any unexpected or unsafe conditions arise. Consult an adult.
