Make a Stethoscope


A stethoscope is an instrument used by doctors to hear sounds generated from within human body. They are used to listen to the heart, lungs and intestinal tract. They are also used for measuring blood pressure.
If you dream to be a doctor one day this activity will interest you a lot. You can make simple stethoscope very easily. But first of all you must learn a bit about it. Visit the following website and you will find all the details about a stethoscope in a language that you can follow easily.

You may also be interested to know, when and who made the first stethoscope, and how its design has evolved ever since. The following website gives an exhaustive information about all this:


A stethoscope as you would now know, is based on the principle of collecting sound waves from a particular area, and transferring them to the ears of its user through a pipe/s. Thus to make a stethoscope you would need something to collect sound waves (like the bell of a doctor's stethoscope, and some tube.

The most common object used for the bell of the stethoscope in the designs described in the following

Make a Rocket

Rockets are fascinating!  They soar into the sky and help us know many secrets. Are you fascinated by rockets? If your answer is yes, you would be interested in this activity. The rockets that you can make safely will not go very far, perhaps much less then the rockets we enjoy on the Deepawali day. But then you will agree, the fun and excitement to make your own rocket has a totally different dimension.  The basic principle of rocketry is Newton's Third Law of Motion, that is, "For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction".  A big rocket uses chemicals to release an intense stream of gas out its tail end that propels it upwards.  A fuel is used in a rocket to produce this gas through some chemical reaction. The rocket fuel is sometimes liquid, and sometimes solid.  But, in all cases, a gas is ejected from the tail of the rocket. The first kind of rocket that we can make is propelled by a very safe gas - carbon dioxide.  The fuel it uses is
