sprinkler irrigation system working model using a plastic tray and an injection

Creating a sprinkler irrigation system working model using a plastic tray and an injection can be a creative and educational science project for an exhibition.

Here’s a simple DIY project to demonstrate the concept of a sprinkler irrigation system:

Materials Needed:

1. Plastic tray or shallow container
2. Plastic injection or syringe
3. Plastic tubing or straws
4. Small plastic cups or containers
5. Small plastic water bottle with cap
6. Craft knife or scissors
7. Glue or tape
8. Water
9. Markers
10. Colored paper (optional for decoration)

Steps to Create the Sprinkler Irrigation System Model:

Step 1: Prepare the Tray:

• Take a plastic tray or shallow container to serve as the base for your model. This represents the field or garden.

Step 2: Create Sprinkler Heads:

• Cut the bottom part of a plastic water bottle (without the cap) into small pieces to act as sprinkler heads. Decorate them with markers or colored paper if desired.

Step 3: Attach Sprinkler Heads:

• Glue or tape the sprinkler heads to the tips of plastic tubing or straws. Ensure they are secure and can rotate.

Step 4: Connect Tubing to Injection:

• Attach the other end of the tubing or straws to the nozzle of a plastic injection or syringe. This will represent the water source.

Step 5: Create Water Supply:

• Cut small plastic cups or containers to represent water sources. Glue them strategically around the plastic tray, representing water reservoirs or pipes connected to the injection.

Step 6: Insert Injection into the Tray:

• Use a craft knife or scissors to cut a hole in the plastic tray and insert the nozzle of the injection through it. Ensure it fits snugly to prevent water leakage.

Step 7: Fill Injection with Water:

• Fill the injection with water. When you press the plunger, water will be pushed through the tubing and out of the sprinkler heads.

Step 8: Display and Demonstrate:

• Set up your sprinkler irrigation system working model at the exhibition table.
• Demonstrate how pressing the injection plunger simulates the irrigation process with water spraying out of the sprinkler heads.

This working model provides a tangible representation of a sprinkler irrigation system, helping to explain the mechanism and efficiency of such systems in agriculture.
