This is a model of our Solar System, picturing the Sun and the planets that orbit it: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Students were tasked to create a Solar system model, to help them visualize and understand the universe they live in. The model was made with Styrofoam balls, glitter ink, plywood, finger paint, markers, adhesive and card board paper.

Reused Plastic bottles for Furniture(Class Project)
The present sanitation situation in Ghana is not healthy, pollution is a major cause of environmental problems in the country. Poor management of both solid and liquid waste in any form adversely affects the health of the people. This project was geared towards how to obtain home furniture from recycled bottles, instead of polluting the environment with them. The furniture is made from plastic bottles which was collected from the…
Model Volcano
The prototype volcano experiments with the process of a volcano eruption, it is geared towards learning scientific concepts around a volcano and to develop analytical thinking skills. The prototype demonstrates an acid base reaction. In this kind of reaction, the acid (vinegar) chemically reacts with the base (the baking soda) and the two release carbon dioxide gas which bubbles out. The liquid soap helps to make foamy lava that flows…
Model Auto Workshop
The prototype Auto workshop uses a hydraulic jack, the hydraulic jack uses hydraulic power which lifts vehicles so that maintenance can be performed.The hydraulic jack uses a fluid, which is incompressible, that is forced into a cylinder by a pump plunger. Oil was used since it is self lubricating and stable. When the plunger pulls back, it draws oil out of the reservoir through a suction check valve into the…
Home Made Air Condition
Buying and maintaining air conditioners are becoming more expensive each day, particularly if there are repairs and faults as a result of power cuts and power surges. The Homemade Air condition puts an end to all the cost of buying expensive air conditioners and its maintenance, by using nothing but simple items such as an electric fan, polystyrene liner, PVC pipe, ice and a 25-litre bucket. Inventor’s Name: Hanisha Thakur…
Hydraulic Fountain
This is a model of a hydraulic water fountain. Water from the basin flows by gravity into the air supply container. This water forces the air in the supply container to move into the water supply container. Where the increased air pressure in the water supply container forces the water in the water supply container to issue out the top as a fountain into the basin. The fountain water caught…
