A termly inventions exhibition fair is held and awards given to the best student inventor. Below are a few of students inventions at the Maiden Students Invention & Innovation Fair(SIIF) 2015
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 in the basin will drain back to the air supply ...
Home Made Air Condition

Inventor’s Name: Hanisha Thakur Class: Year 5 ...
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 pump chamber. When the plunger moves forward, it pushes 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 out of the volcano. Inventor’s Name: Inventor’s Name: Yasha Boudib ...

Our Solar System(Class Project)
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 ...
