I need a science fair idea involving Global Warming by Wednesday?

Question

I need help or I'm in tough shape. I am a 10th grader and my teacher is not easy on us people.

I need the final topic idea to put in the fair this Wednesday!!!!

HELP ME!!!!!

My teacher is strict

I don't need a global warming idea i just need a simple idea that would get me a good grade and i would work hard

If you help me you will be happy

plz :...(

elyse is cool

Answer 1

Since global warming has also been referred to as something like the 'greenhouse effect", why not build a miniature greenhouse out of plexiglass (You should be able to get what you need at the local hardware or 'do-it-yourself' store). Keep it under a flood light and monitor the temperature, moisture levels and whatever else you might be able to think of. Make sure you compare it to what might happen to the earth's environment ; sort of as a model. If the heat from the sun is reflected back to the earth by the 'greenhouse gasses', the mini greenhouse might illustrate it well.

Answer 2

Why don't you do something along the lines of "jokes"...April fools, knock-knock and other humorous type scenarios since the whole "man-made" global warming is a bunch of BS.

In 1930, the Earth was actually warmer than it is now....In the 70s "scientists" warned of an on coming ice-age, in the 80s it was the "hole in the ozone layer" and now "global-warming...Which is nothing more than a naturally occurring phenomenon that the earth has gone through many times in its history and nothing unusual....Ice-core samples taken from miles down PROVE it.

Now THAT would be a great project.

Answer 3

Consider taking an opposing view to catastrophic global warming theories. (don't oppose global warming in general, as the globe is indeed warming)

Being a science fair project, maybe you should look at some of the scientific research being done currently. Much of it contradicts the highly publicized theory of man made catastrophic global warming. Maybe you could do a project demonstrating the problems involved in recording temperatures primarily in urban and highly developed areas (where increased surface area--ie. buildings/structures--and increased heat conducting surfaces--ie. concrete and metal replacing plants and dirt--cause highly localized temperature increases year-round). You could easily contrive an experiment involving the measurement and comparison of temperatures on your driveway, lawn, roof, garden, sandbox, etc. Just an idea.

Also the above suggestion on a study of water levels is a good idea. for something like that you'll need to find the area and average depth of the earths oceans and the estimated water mass suspended in ice above sea level. I'm sure someone has done studies to look up on that. Also you could calculate the increase of global humidity due to rising temperatures and the mass of water involved.

I have the feeling we are going to start seeing frustrated scientists becoming more vocal about the media pressure influencing global warming science. Senator Inhofe just gave a 1 hour speech on Sept. 25th to the senate about the media and global warming alarmism. He has given 9 speeches (I believe) on the subject of global warming. Inhofe is the CHAIRMAN, SENATE ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE. You can download an mp3 of his full speech at: http://src.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Senators.Radio&Senator_id=34&CFId=17887579&CFToken=33920931

You can also find a pdf of the highlights of his speech and the data charts he used at:

I also have a list of web sites on hand giving scientific or anecdotal evidence against man made catestrophic global warming. Some of them are more valid scientific sources than others. All are interesting:

Answer 4

I feel your pain but you need to do some research on the internet about global warming/greenhouse effect it might help you come up with an idea. Google science fair project ideas. Go to the library reasearch. Now get off here and get busy.

Answer 5

Maybe you could disprove the theory that if the Artic Ice Caps Melted, the oceans would flood the coastline. I am not a physicist, but see if this makes sense. Ice is less dense than water. Therefore is has less mass (it floats for instance). Therefore when the ice melts, it takes up less space as a liquid than when it was a solid. You can prove this my filling a large container with water and ice until the ice sticks up over the edge of the container ( use a glass or bucket or anything). When the ice melts, the glass will not overflow. Think about it and try it. It really works.

Answer 6

Try demonstrating how a greenhouse and carbon dioxide buildups can have similar effects, good luck! Or you could even try to test or design solutions to high concentrations of carbon dioxide having a negative effect on the enviroment.

Answer 7

So, do some reading and learning about global warming and see what suggests itself. After you learn something about it, think about it. If I were your teacher, that's what I'd want you to do.

Answer 8

well, partner up with that hot blonde, you ;might not get a good grade but it might be fun. Or try that smart studious little brunette. Im not really sure what kind of thing you are looking for, but you've probably been studying the subject all semester. YOu could do one of the causes, or one of the effects. Im sure you know better than i what they are.

Answer 9

check out my 360 site i have lots pics of the ice caps melting etc
that you can use an information to(clik my pic then it will take you to my answers page then hit the 360 site i have more information if you want also,

Answer 10

Doees this have to be something you make or can you just report on literature?
I have an idea for making something, but it wouldn't be easy and probably not too cheap.
