SUMMARY

This discussion centers around generating ideas for a 9th-grade physics science fair project. Participants suggest exploring the concept of "warping matter," with one specific idea being to leave plastic in the sun to observe its deformation. The conversation emphasizes the need for projects that are engaging yet accessible for high school students. Resources such as the "Homework Help Zone" on Physics Forums are recommended for further assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of physics concepts related to matter and heat.
  • Familiarity with the properties of materials, specifically plastics.
  • Knowledge of the scientific method for conducting experiments.
  • Ability to present findings in a clear and concise manner.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of thermoplastics and their behavior under heat.
  • Explore the concept of thermal expansion and its applications.
  • Investigate other materials that can be warped or deformed through heat.
  • Learn about experimental design and how to document results effectively.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for 9th-grade students, educators, and parents seeking engaging and feasible physics project ideas for science fairs.

undefined :confused: I'm trying to get some ideas for a science fair project having to do with physics, but I'm sort of at a dead end right now. Anyone have any GOOD Ideas? Btw, I'm in 9th grade, so nothing too technical. I'm thinking about something along the lines of warping matter. My e-mail is- direwolf11@2die4.com

"Warping matter"? Like, leaving plastic out in the hot sun so it warps?
