  • Measure how body temperature and reaction time vary throughout the day
  • Model the human cardiovascular system
  • Use spin tests to discover how your eyes and ears affect your balance and dizziness 
  • Determine how much huddling reduces heat loss in warm-blooded animals

Here are some of the Science Projects for Class 8th Exhibitions that you can try:

The majority of the meals that we take in a day include carbohydrates or sugar. But the form in which we consume them is different and the one that is found inside the human body is different. In our body, glucose is broken down into simpler substances and you can opt for a glucose experiment for your Class 8 science project through which you can analyse the presence of carbohydrates in glucose and our food. As per your choice, collect some food items of daily life along with food dye, room temperature water, plastic glasses, knife and record your observations. You will also need glucose reading strips for this science project and create a positive strip by dipping a glucose strip into a sugar-based or glucose solution as well as a negative strip by dipping a glucose strip into the water. Then, test each of the foods you have taken with these two strips and record your observations. 

Water in its pure form has a specific boiling point and if we keep on adding some solutions or chemicals to water, its boiling point tends to change. For this simple and interesting science project for Class 8, you need some basic household items, i.e. sugar, salt, lemon juice, oil, oranges, jaggery, tea, etc. Ask an adult for supervision and assistance in helping you test the boiling point of water while adding a different item every time. Record your observation for these items and create your Science project accordingly. 

Having a homemade volcano is an amazing science science project. You need to build a cone shaped structure similar to a volcano with a container in the middle. Then in that container, add vinegar. Now, to demonstrate the working of the volcano, add baking soda along with some food colour to the vinegar. The volcano will erupt with effervescence which is generated due to the reaction of baking soda and vinegar thus releasing CO2 gas.

physics experiments class 8

The red cabbage that we eat consists of a natural pH indicator that we can use to identify the nature of various substances. Since not many people are aware of this natural indicator, you can use red cabbage to create a unique Science project for Class 8. First, extract the juice of red cabbage and take some paper cups. Now, you need a specific amount of the following items in each paper cup:

  • Baking Soda
  • Lemon Juice

Now, pour the red cabbage juice into each cup until the colour of the liquid/powder [baking soda] changes. Note down your observations regarding the nature of acid and base in each item as indicated by the red cabbage and astonish your class with an amazing science experiment!

Do you know that the potato we use in our food can actually convert chemical energy into electrical energy? As a potato has many nutrients that act as chemicals in a particular setup, it can be used as an electrical battery and thus a unique working model for your Class 8 science project! You need a few potatoes to create your own potato battery and the process is quite simple. Take two potatoes, zinc and copper electrodes, 6 alligator clips and a small bulb/digital clock. First, insert the zinc and copper electrodes in the potatoes and then use alligator clips to attach the electrodes with the clock or bulb [adult supervision necessary].

You will see that the potatoes will charge electrodes and then the clock or the bulb will turn on automatically.

Amongst the most popular science projects for Class 8, you must have come across this one in day-to-day scenarios. Have you noticed that the pan in which we cook gets all heated up including the handles of it or the tong with which we cook our chapatis becomes hot? This is because of thermal conductivity in solids which means that the molecules of solids when heated up move in different directions and spread the heat. For your project, you can pick a bunch of solid items and check at which temperature the entire object gets heated up and up to which temperature.

You must have come across various high-end cameras, but a pinhole camera is something that you can construct from simple household products. The camera does not contain any type of lens rather it is a light-proof box which has a small hole on one of its sides. Light from one side will fall into it and then by using its effort, it will reflect the picture on the other side of it.  the image formed by this lens is inverted, thus,  it becomes a tree basis of your entire project. 

Science Working Model for Class 8

Here is a list of Science Working Models for Class 8:

  • Wind Turbine
  • Biogas plant

Now, let’s pick up some of these and learn how to make these models:

Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil and animal-fat based diesel fuel including long-chain alkyl and esters. Biodiesels are made by chemically reacting lipids, e.g., vegetable oils, animals with alcohol to produce fatty acid esters. The project is for renewable energy, physics, biology.

A telescope is an optical instrument to make observations to make distant objects look closer with an arrangement of lenses or curved mirrors. The rays of light are collected and focus on resulting in magnified images.

A cotton candy machine follows the same framework everywhere in the world and you can make it right at home. When sugar is heated, it becomes liquid caramel. If liquid caramel is pushed through tiny holes to the outside by centrifugal force when the container continuously rotates, cotton candy is made by recrystallization.

One of the most famous working models is the human heart’s working model. The project only requires a physioball, PVC Pipe cap, balloons, and drip pipe. The project will barely take an hour to complete and you will be able to impress your teacher with it.

Best and Simple Science Experiments for Class 8 to Enhance your Think Tank

Here we provide some details about simple science experiments for Class 8 that students perform and observe to learn more.

How to Generate Static Electricity?

Static electricity is a fascinating phenomenon easily demonstrated with simple objects. This experiment aims to educate and entertain students about static electricity by using everyday items. It is based on the principle that opposite charges attract each other, while similar charges repel each other.

To conduct this experiment, students will need a plastic comb, a woollen cloth, and some small pieces of paper or other lightweight objects. They should first rub the comb vigorously against the woollen cloth to create static electricity. Then, they can hold the comb near the pieces of paper and watch as the static electricity causes the papers to be attracted to the comb, despite being lightweight and not affected by gravity.

How to Make Quicksand?

Another fun experiment that students can try is creating their own quicksand on a small scale. This project is simple and harmless but produces a fun and interesting result that can be appreciated by friends and teachers alike.

To create the quicksand, students will need cornstarch and water. They should mix the two together until they have a thick, paste-like consistency. Then, they can slowly pour more water into the mixture while stirring continuously, until the mixture becomes more liquid and resembles quicksand. When they stop stirring, the mixture will become thick and hard to move in, simulating the effect of quicksand.
