Zebra Palm Art

 

Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw a zebra? Well you can do this, simply by using the palm of your hand. ✋🦓

To draw your zebra:

 

Place your left hand on the piece of paper with all your fingers on the paper

 

Draw round your hand

 

Turn your paper round so that your hand drawing is facing the opposite way

                   

Curve round your hand drawing so that it all joins together and then add a small tail similar to the image below

 

In the little finger of your drawing, draw a small square in the corner and colour this in with a black pen. Add a small smile at the bottom of the square.

 

Add a small circle for the eye and add another circle in that eye. Only colour in the outer circle of the second circle with a black pen.

 

Add small lines on top of your hand drawing similar to the image below for the zebra's mane

 

In the other fingers you have drawn, colour a small section of them in with a black pen similar to the image below

 Draw lines close to your eye heading upwards with a black pen to represent the zebra's stripes

In the bottom of your fingers, draw sets of lines going towards the palm of your hand for the stripes

 

Draw lines with a black pen from the top to the bottom of your hand drawing similar to the image below

 

Add lines for stripes to the remaining part of the zebra including the tail as well

 

Draw a small butterfly close to the zebra similar to the image below

Colour your butterfly in with a pink pen

Levitating Ping Pong Ball Experiment

 Age Range: 6-11

 Equipment needed: Hair dryer and a ping pong ball

 

Adult supervision is required for this experiment 

Levitating Ping Pong Ball Experiment

 

On this blog post, I shall be showing you a very fun science experiment to try and is very easy to set up as this experiment only requires two items. 

 

To do the levitating ping pong ball experiment:

 

Start by plugging in your hair dryer and ensure an adult is there to help you hold on to the hair dryer as it can be very hot.

Hold your ping pong ball over the hair dryer 

 

Turn on your hair dryer and watch what happens to the ping pong ball 

 

After you've done that, try and get the ping pong ball to move higher, lower and even to your left or right

That is the levitating ping pong ball experiment

After you've tried this experiment, try and see how many ping pong balls you could levitate and see what other items you think may cause the ping pong ball to levitate

 

Watch the levitating ping pong ball experiment video:

 

The science behind this:

The ping pong ball will fly up from the hairdryer until it reaches a point that the force of gravity pushing down on the ball is equal to the force of the air pushing up on the ball. The air coming from the hairdryer is moving much faster than the air around it. Because the air is moving faster, it has less pressure than the air around it. The ping pong ball stays within the column of low-pressure air because of the high pressure surrounding it and thus causing the ping pong ball to levitate.

Thanks guys and hope you enjoyed the post today. Be sure to try and see what other items you think will cause the ping pong ball to levitate. Be sure to leave a comment on how you found doing the levitating ping pong ball experiment and be sure to check out some of my other blog posts.😀

Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw a dragonfly? Well you can do this, simply by using the palm of your hand. ✋🐝

 

To draw your dragonfly:

 

Place your left hand on a sheet of paper with only your ring finger and index finger facing to the right side of the paper similar to the image below

Draw round your hand

 Nextly, with your right hand, place your middle finger and index finger on the sheet of paper but this time facing towards the left side

 

Using your left hand, draw round your hand

 

Draw a line to connect the top half of your hand drawing. In the middle of your hand drawing, draw a circle to represent the dragonfly's head

In the head of the dragonfly, draw two circles and two black coloured dots inside of them to make the eyes

 

Draw a line from the head going down towards the bottom of your hand drawing. Ensure this line then goes back up to the other side of the head similar to the image below.

Draw at the bottom of your dragonfly, around 7 or 8 ovals each connected to one another and each getting smaller as you go down to make the dragonfly's abdomen

 

Draw a smile in the head of your dragonfly ensuring it is drawn at the bottom of your eyes

Colour the head, body and abdomen in with a green pen

 

Colour the wings of the dragonfly in with a yellow pen

 

Draw four black lines in each of the wings similar to the image below
