Local Physics Project Ideas for Junior High Students

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on local physics project ideas suitable for junior high students. A notable suggestion involves using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) apparatus to measure spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times of a curing epoxy. This project allows students to explore the chemical properties of materials through practical experimentation. The conversation highlights the need for age-appropriate project ideas that can engage junior high students in physics concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts
  • Familiarity with experimental procedures in a laboratory setting
  • Knowledge of chemical properties and reactions
  • Basic principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and its applications in material science
  • Explore project ideas involving chemical reactions and their measurements
  • Learn about the properties of different chemical compounds and how to measure them
  • Investigate age-appropriate physics experiments for junior high students
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, junior high school students, and anyone interested in developing engaging physics projects that align with the curriculum.

There is a local physics projects for juniors taking physics. I need some good ideas, can anybody suggest some?

Is this high school, or college that we're talking about? If college, I've got a suggestion. My junior year project was on nuclear magnetic resonance. I used an NMR apparatus to measure the spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times for a 5 minute curing epoxy, at different times in its curing process (spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times are just two constants characteristic of a material's chemical properties, which NMRs can easily measure). Perhaps you could measure these constants for some other chemical compound as you alter it in some way?
 
High school., and I didn't understand anything you wrote.
