Does anyone have a science fair project that has to do with physics or chemistry in the middle school level?
Most Filipino or Thai grocery stores carry them - in the frozen section.
Physical Science Ideas Use a spectroscope to analyze the light spectra produced by burning different elementsDo you expect compounds that contain some of the same elements to have similar spectra? Build your own light bulb, and then experiment with what materials make the longest-lasting or brightest filamentE xperiment with the most effective materials and design for propellers or model airplanes What kind of substance (metal, ceramic) conducts heat the best? Do a thermal conductivity study to discover which substance works best for a pot handle and which works best for a teapot Find out how increased mass affects velocity and acceleration by doing a project with dynamic cartsYou can also experiment with the resulting velocities after a collision between a moving object and unmoving one, or between two objects moving in opposite directions Experiment with the best way to build a solar oven to cook your own food Chemistry Ideas Try distilling drinkable water from salt water using the sunWhat materials can you use to speed up the rate of evaporation? Make your own ink using different substances and compare how each withstands the effects of heat, light, or moistureFor example, does one type fade faster than another when they are heated or when exposed to strong light? Use pennies to copper-plate an iron nailSee if pennies minted before 1982 (when they were 95% copper) make a thicker coating than newer pennies do (they only have 2.5% copper) How does the number of pennies you use affect the time it takes to plate the nail? Use a semi-permeable membrane to experiment with osmosisWhat kinds of substances pass through the membrane, and what substances don’t? What is a common property that prevents substances from passing through the membrane? Which retains heat longer, salt water or fresh water? Design an experiment to find out Last updated: 01/08/07
