Does Anyone Know How To Do A Science Fair Project?

Question

I Need To Do A Science Fair Project AN Easy One!! I Dont Feel Like Making One So Can You Guys Help Me On Making One? Please! It's Just So I Can Pass The Class.

The following is a description of Ross Stein's "spring and rider" (also known as the "brick and bungee") earthquake simulation machine.

The apparatus consists of a wooden board 3-4 feet in length with a winch on one end. There is a pulley leading from the winch to the brick that is oriented so that the force acting on the brick has no vertical component. The board has a strip of sandpaper down half of it to increase friction.

Two types of material connect a brick to the winch. The first is a non-stretching cord, which is used to ensure that all of the accumulated stress is transferred into the second material - surgical rubber tubing. This tubing is connected directly to the brick and is extremely elastic, which allows stress to build when the crank on the winch is turned. The brick also has a strip of sandpaper on one side, for additional friction. This is the basic set-up of the experiment.

With this, students can mark off "rupture length" during each "earthquake" by seeing how far the brick slips. They likely will find that the lengths are not consistent. They may also wish to time the "earthquakes" assuming a constant speed by the person turning the crank. Again, time is not always consistent either. If they turn the crank slowly as the cord nears "failure" they may hear the sandpaper crackle a moment before the brick moves, thus simulating a foreshock.

There are some accessories to this model as well. The first is talcum powder, which can be sprinkled on the board next to the sandpaper. When the brick is placed on the powder (the side of the brick without the sandpaper) students will observe an almost constant rate of motion. This simulates creeping faults, such as is found on part of the San Andreas. An additional brick is included in the demonstration as well. This may be stacked atop the first brick to produce larger "earthquakes." It can also be removed from atop the first brick just at the moment of failure to show that slippage can occur even without additional stress, just by removing the additional brick.

Finally, the second brick is equipped with surgical tubing as well, so the two can be placed on the board in tandem. In this way, the machine demonstrates how earthquakes "talk" to each other. When stress is sufficient, the first brick moves forward, increasing stress on the second brick. Eventually the second brick slips, reducing the backwards force on the first brick, and the first brick can slip again.

One additional accessory for the machine is a mass balance that can be used as a strain gauge. Although it was previously shown that earthquakes are not consistent with time or in their rupture length, the brick tends to slip at the same reading on the gauge. With this set-up and the various accessories, this demonstration can show a variety of earthquake concepts. If the students use the mass balance to weigh the bricks, they can calculate the coefficient of friction on the board, and predict what force is necessary to cause an "earthquake."

Despite being relatively simple and elegant, the machine is remarkably true to the actual earth. Thus students get a fun, hands-on look at stress and rupture in the laboratory.

i presently judged a Jr. severe technological awareness honest. the numerous honest initiatives have been extremely creative. "They shade of cool"Can the colour of shingles impact the temperature of a house? "evening Writers" - How does lack sleep impact your motor skills? that they had human beings stay conscious all evening giving them typing attempt at numerous factors of the evening and after issues like ingesting a cup of coffee. "The unpopables" - Which type and/or style of popcorn has fewer un popped kernels ? there have been an incredible type of that have been super. yet those are those that I bear in strategies because of the fact the final

Answer 3

you know a cool one is- dreams, its very much science. look up stuff on colors in dreams, ex. red is lust, green envy, etc, get some facts, ex. you have a dream every night just cant remember it, and make a cool moon and star background

Answer 4

Sweet being too lazy to come up with your own project.

Answer 5

i did how much miracle grow affects a plant (i.e. how many flowers on it, how many inches it grew)

Answer 6

make something that done not work and say that it worked this morning.
