pH Paper Drawing with Chemistry
Get PDFMy project is connecting science with visual art via pH drawing and it has changed a lot from my original plan, but the purpose of this project has not been changed. The combination of art and science in this project can help people understand the messages of how their behaver effect the pH of an environment without the limitation of the science background. There are two part in my project. For the first project, I designed a pH paper drawing activity for children in the Linn County STEAM Fair by using the pH indicator paper to simulate a natural environment, such as ocean, soil or even human body, and drawing on it with baking soda solutions that provide a red color. Then, paintings were shown in the Iowa City Public Library. This painting displacement was open to the public, especially the local community within all ages. Paintings are visual art that can enlighten people universally without languages. My goal is to create a new way for people to connect with science by bonding science with art and bring excitement and interest for the general public
STEM at Stead
Get PDFSTEM at Stead consists of three experiment kits aimed at assisting patients in the Stead Family Children’s Hospital with science, engineering, and math education. These experiment kits and discussion materials were created to help fill the gap of information patients were experiencing during their stay at the hospital and consequently their absence from school. The three experiments include building a catapult, creating a bouncy ball, and discovering effective handwashing techniques. The pictures listed with this post show examples from the experiments. The experiments are split into three different levels: beginner, practiced, and advanced scientists. These materials can be found in the interactive power point attached to this document. The experiments were first trialed in the Child/ Adolescent Psychiatry Unit before being introduced to the rest of the units in the children’s hospital. The kits and discussion materials are now available for all pediatric patients (and siblings of patients) inside UIHC. The kits were developed so the teachers within UIHC could run them independently and the hope is for the kits to stay in the units for the years to come
