This hands-on kit enables learners to investigate how air velocity creates low-pressure zones that can suspend a lightweight ball in mid-air. Through guided experimentation, students develop scientific inquiry skills, including hypothesis formation, variable testing, and data collection. The activity also fosters problem-solving and engineering design thinking as students refine their models for optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed for students in Years 3 to 8, making it suitable for primary and early secondary school classrooms. It aligns with Science and STEM subject areas, particularly units focusing on physical sciences, forces, and energy transfer. Teachers can integrate it into cross-curricular lessons that connect science with design and technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eAustralian Curriculum Links\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe DIY Floating Ball Science Kit supports the Australian Curriculum: Science (F-10) by addressing content descriptors related to forces, motion, and energy (e.g., ACSSU076, ACSSU117). It also links to Digital Technologies through opportunities for students to document and share their findings digitally. In the STEM F-10 framework, the kit promotes inquiry-based learning and design thinking, encouraging students to apply scientific concepts to real-world challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCoding Platform\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo coding required. This kit focuses on hands-on physical experimentation and observation, making it ideal for classrooms without access to digital devices or for teachers seeking an unplugged STEM activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach kit contains a lightweight foam ball, a plastic tube with a nozzle, a motorised fan unit, batteries, connecting wires, and assembly instructions. Also included are a set of student activity cards with guided experiments and a teacher guide with curriculum links and extension ideas. All components are reusable and designed for multiple classroom sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eClassroom Setup \u0026amp; Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe kit requires minimal setup. Each student or small group will need a flat workspace and access to a power source for the fan unit (batteries included). For best results, use in a still-air environment to avoid external air currents interfering with the demonstration. A typical lesson takes 30 to 45 minutes, including assembly, testing, and discussion. The kit is suitable for individual or paired work and can be easily cleaned and stored for future use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eSupport \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAll Stemology products come with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
