Does anybody know a good science project I can do by the 25th?

Question

Quick note, I DID NOT procrastinate, I just got it like... I think Wednesday, me and my parents have been discussing what to do my project on. I would like to do something out of the ordinary, nothing like "do this to this and record what happens," or something. I was thinking of seeing how dogs react to certain types of music, but what if my dog does nothing? That would be fun for just a casual experiment but I have to take into consideration that this will be going into a school project. I am interested in almost any type of science. Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated! The one that gets me an A+ gets the best answer :P Just kidding.

Answer 1

Build a slope detection Radio! This is like the old crystal sets in that they don't need batteries but it can recieve FM Radio

Answer 2

You can still use your dog. It been a while since I took a psychology class. But in the first one I ever took I learned about a scientist who would ring a dinner bell and the dog knew to come get his bowl of food. If he would ring the bell, even if he did not really have a bowl of food for the dog, the dog would come and begin salivating. It has something to do with the dog Learning to Associate the bell with food so the Response was his salivating. Maybe this is helpful and maybe not. I know there are a lot of sources on this though.

There is a lot of good stuff you can use to demonstrate the use of airfoils in flight. Most of the materials are cheap and relatively easy to find. You can buy a partially built up wing at any hobby shop, and then get a fan and some plexi-glass from a local hardware store. Attach the wing to a wooden dowel and cut a line in the glass so the judges can see the effects of rotating the wing surface. You can get some good airfoil info at any aerodynamics website
