What is School Science?

School Science is an interactive web platform designed to showcase outstanding student science projects from the 2025 exhibition. Built with React and Material-UI, it provides an engaging way to explore hands-on experiments in physics, chemistry, and engineering. The platform features four pioneering science projects:
  • Franklin Bell - Electrostatics demonstration
  • Density Tower - Fluid mechanics visualization
  • Hydraulic Arm - Force transmission through fluids
  • Lava Lamp - Biphasic fluid reactions

Key Features

Interactive Cards

Beautiful flip cards with hover animations for browsing projects

Image Galleries

Auto-playing carousels showcasing experiment photos

Video Tutorials

Embedded YouTube demonstrations for each experiment

PDF Resources

Downloadable guides with materials and instructions

Built With Modern Tech

School Science leverages cutting-edge web technologies:
  • React 19 - Latest React features for optimal performance
  • Material-UI 7 - Beautiful, accessible component library
  • Styled Components - CSS-in-JS styling solution
  • React Router 7 - Dynamic routing for project pages
  • Vite 7 - Lightning-fast build tooling

Target Audience

School Science is designed for:
  • Students exploring science experiments
  • Educators seeking demonstration ideas
  • Parents supporting their children’s science education
  • Science enthusiasts interested in hands-on projects

Core Principles

The platform is built on three core principles:
  1. Educational Value - Each project includes detailed scientific explanations, materials lists, and conclusions
  2. Accessibility - Clear documentation, video tutorials, and downloadable resources make projects reproducible
  3. Engagement - Interactive UI elements and rich media content keep users engaged
All projects featured on the platform use affordable, commonly available materials to encourage reproducibility.
