1 Summary
This project is part of the product development effort. End product will be a This Project is to create an app in iPad that can explain concept of density through experiments. This will be the basis for the experiments such as separations techniques based on density, surface area and differences in particle size. Other Experiments to follow are in following areas. 1. 2. 3. 4. Separation Techniques: Filtration, Distillation, Sedimentation, Evaporation, Centrifugation Simple Machines: Pulleys, Wheels, Screws, Wedges, Axles Forces: Buoyancy, Magnetism, Pressure, Density Transformation of Energy
These experiments are selected based on, the applicability of these experiments for different age groups. Apparently, Students from age group 10-16 (grade 5 to 10/ P5-Sec3) are expected to understand these concepts at different depth, depending on their age.
2 Introduction
The density experiment is chosen as the first app in the series. The Density concept can be explained through simple experiments; If these were presented in iPad medium, it has the ability to capture audience attention. As the concept is easy for School Teachers, Adults and Children to understand, the audience attention can be easily shifted to the technology features that simulates real-life experiments. The iPad app would present 5 sections for each experiment 1. Concept definition 2. Animated explanation of the concept with storyline 3. Simulation of experiment as close to the real-time experiment as possible (with touch/interactivity). Students will be able to conduct virtual experiments. 4. Tabular Section, where observations/ readings from real-time experiment can be recorded. 5. Results Section/ Page: The conclusion of the experiment can be recorded here. This section will also show graphs, charts (as applicable) based on the readings observed in real-time experiment.

3. 4. 5. 6.
Place a set of 10 Balloons in different colors just below the gases Allow the user to fill the gas in any color balloon and let the balloon float in the room Simulate floating balloons in the room and allow the user to touch or push the balloons. All the user to pinch balloons. This action will add an empty balloon. User can refill this balloon with same or different gas.
7.
Allow the user to measure weight of the balloons on a weighing scale. Show the volume of balloons, as the gas fills up. Show the gas name as a label to the balloon.
