  Why Lovia recommends this: It uses materials found almost anywhere and teaches separation, observation and fair testing.

  What to do: Follow the Lovia journey step by step. Safety: filtered water is NOT safe to drink, even when it looks clear.

  Ghana connection: Connects to household water storage and the difference between clear water and safe water.

  • Text only
  • Works offline
  • No device needed

  Why Lovia recommends this: Teaches patient observation and recording — the habit at the centre of all science.

  What to do: Plant two seeds. Water one, keep the other dry. Draw both every day for two weeks and write one sentence each day.

  Ghana connection: Compare your results with what farmers do at the start of the rainy season.

  Build a Simple Machine

  Make a lever and a pulley from everyday materials and measure how much easier lifting becomes.

  • Primary · Junior High
  • 40 min
  • Text only
  • Works offline
  • No device needed

  Why Lovia recommends this: Learners feel the difference a machine makes, which explains the idea better than a definition.

  What to do: Build the lever first. Move the pivot and notice when lifting becomes easiest.

  Ghana connection: Look for levers and pulleys at a building site, a well or a market stall.

  Design a Bridge

  Build a paper bridge, test how much it carries, then redesign it to carry more.

  • Primary · Junior High

  • Text only
  • Works offline
  • No device needed

  Why Lovia recommends this: The improve step is the real lesson: a first design that fails is useful information.

  What to do: Test with coins or stones, one at a time. Record the number carried before it bends.

  Ghana connection: Look at how a footbridge near you is shaped, and why.

  Explore Solar Energy

  Measure how the sun heats water in different containers, and explain the difference.

  • Junior High · Senior High

  • Text only
  • Works offline
  • No device needed

  Why Lovia recommends this: Solar energy is visible daily in Ghana; measuring it turns a familiar thing into evidence.

  What to do: Fill two identical containers with the same amount of water. Put one in shade, one in sun. Compare after one hour. Safety: do not touch hot containers with bare hands.

  Ghana connection: Relates directly to solar panels, solar water heating and drying crops in the sun.

  Collect Weather Data

  Make a simple rain gauge and record rainfall, cloud and temperature for two weeks.

  • Primary · Junior High
  • 30 min
  • Text only
  • Works offline
  • No device needed

  Why Lovia recommends this: Turns learners into data collectors, then gives them their own data to interpret.

  What to do: Record at the same time every day. Draw a bar chart at the end of two weeks.

  Ghana connection: Compare your record with what farmers expect at this point in the season.

  Design a Mini Irrigation System

  Design a way to water plants slowly using a bottle, and test whether it works.

  • Junior High · Senior High

  • Text only
  • Works offline
  • No device needed

  Why Lovia recommends this: A genuine engineering problem with a real agricultural purpose and a measurable result.

  What to do: Make a small hole in a bottle cap. Time how long the bottle takes to empty. Change the hole size and test again.

  Ghana connection: Drip watering is used in dry-season farming to make limited water go further.

  Build or Explore a Simple Circuit

  Make a working circuit with a battery and small bulb, or test the same ideas in a simulation.

  • Junior High · Senior High
  • 40 min
  • Text only
  • Works offline
  • No device needed

  Why Lovia recommends this: Every learner should build one working circuit; if components are unavailable, the simulation stands in.

  What to do: Use only a small torch battery and a small bulb. Safety: never use mains electricity, wall sockets or car batteries for this activity.
