Giant list of science fair project ideas

[quantumlight]

for me i did one on weather control...using water absorbent crystals in diapers to destroy clouds ... ended up in failure because i wasnt able to create a controlled cloud but a year later i found out that the cloudy formation when dry ice sublimes is actually cloud (i know amazing eh?) because it cools down the water in air sufficiently for it to condense but it was too late

Does anyone have any ideas on a 'Mole' Project for chemistry?

 

[southerngirl5390]

I did a project on Red Tied one year... I had to models one of a healthy marine enviorment and one of a marine enviorment infected with red tied.

Hello ,


Hope this will give a lot of support to kids who wish to for online

science and hold interactive sessions.Science projects for kids specially at

My little brother was assigned the topic "weather" for his science fair project.

Anyone have any good ideas for weather projects?

Try the suggested resource and get back to me

if you could unable to find the concept you needed.

Cheers!

anyone fancy a project on perfecting perpetual motion?

you will learn loads of physics and if you succed you will become quite famous and wealthy

(ps if you do succed i want a 20% cut in all the income)

well!, my plain suggestion is, why not make a hydrogen generator, a hybrid rocket motor, this would be good for indoor experiments because it does not cause smoke, if u use the right fuel, the best part is that you could get the parts from home depot, or lows. the oxidizer would be a gaseous oxygen tank,(non pollutant) and u can find more about that on www.ukrocketman.com they will give good info.

i remember in grade 6 my friend and i did a project on different types of insulation. With a lightbulb as a heat source, we got the temp of a cardboard box up to 280 degrees Celsius

I like the hydrogen burning one personally, but I'd like to separate the hydrogen from water also. As for the weather one, how about trying to create controlled clouds in a heated jar or something? maybe a mini-hurricane in a bowl(heated and non heated), or a research project on lightning?

do an experiment the proves the existence of photons. read Timeline by Michael Crichton to see what I'm talkin about

That would be the double slit experiment! I did it right after they explained it in the book, and sure enough— it happened. Doesn't necessarily mean the existence of a multiverse though.

You could do an environmental project if there is an environmental problem that your area has. For example, if your area suffers frequent droughts or shortages, you could find new ways to acquire water, like condensation.
With these, you sometimes get brownie points for helping your community too.

you maty do a better prject by making any thing which is working by the solar power like a fontain

I need help

My second grade son is wanting to do a science fair project using his Estes Hydrogen rocket kit that he received for Christmas. What can he do for the science fair? Is there something he can change? Is there something testable? I am NOT a science buff and I need help to help him.

 

[halfANDhalf]

make a mini atom bomb or napalm or touch bomb or flame thrower without axe

 

[ffleming7]

You could make a hologram. I have never tried it, but it always sounded interesting.

 

[Grogerian]

for my grade-8 science fair i did "The Brain & Optical Illusion Effects" i got 100% :D wasn't to hard to get the info for it, talk a little about the brain and why our eyes can be deceived then write down a giant binder with 50+ Optical illusions and how they are caused ^.^

 

[autrizzle]

I dunno, I would do a project with a social impact, maybe do something with carbon emissions. If you live near any university, then you can always get urself into a lab and work with them. That's a lot of fun and you get to do projects beyond ur school level.

How about trying to give the people an introduction to cryptography and its development. You can also create your own german enigma machine. Regarding recon's ideas about about using computers too, well you can include that too in your cryptography assignment when talking about modern crytography, public key encryption and the future of cryptogarphy which is quantum crytography.

An electroscope is an easy project to make and to demonstrate static electricity. A jar w/lid , nylon string, foil and tape is basically all the materials that would needed.

A web search for electroscope will yield plenty of results for various designs. One I saw just used a jar w/lid, paper clip, and two small strips of foil. Couldn't be simpler.

I built one in eighth grade. The science dept. even loaned me the gold foil for it. Back then when everyone was worried about above ground nuclear testing, it was promoted as a cheaper alternative to a Geiger counter for determining background radiation. (The higher the radiation the faster it discharges.)

Now of course they can be built with FETs and use LEDs or meters as indicators.

Hey guys, I need to work on a research project for school. I was thinking of tracking exoplanets, but so far I only have a vague idea of how this is done.

What resources do I need, and how?

 

[the pro]

did anyone now about the bagdad batery build 2000 bc it was the very first form of electricty it is very easy to make one that was my shcoll project

 

[Ihatechem10]

Make a engine that runs on gravity

Thats impossible? but then so is everything else in our world today ;) But I do know how to make an engine that runs on nothing ;) my secret, just wait a few years then youll see it on TV, or ull be driving one.

I got it :p I've been working for a few years on the side thinking about this, so its just a concept, but. I've been workin out bugs and I think id work.

 

[The legend]

there's a good video onyoutube about making "water into balls" when taken out of the trough.
Here's the link


Hope it benefits someone. And could someone please tell me what reaction takes place in there??

 

[higgsnerd137]

Make a cyclotron!

 

[CreditGirl]

Do one about how a tsunami forms and make a simulation in a water bottle!

 

[murnisafiah]

i'm university student looking 4 project in physics 4 my final year project
i also hope somebody can send me a procedure an example of report to my email

 

[murnisafiah]

i have no idea right now
for my final project in pure physics degree

 

[mhmd]

well a friend of mine did a project coding music into a laser and transmitting music over one end, and having a decoder-receiver thing at the other end of the laser which would play the music. apparently the laser can successfully transmit the music for 2 kms. OR you could just have a fancy laser pointer at one end and a big hi-tech-looking MP3 player on the other end and somehow convince everyone that the laser is transmitting music xD

 

[tejnagesh]

I know that this project is one that involves quite a bt of work but what about doing a project where you research and actually make an alternate fuel like biodiesel?

actually I am trying to do that using citrus fruit oil any idea how can i do it?
