HELP! On Science Fair?

Question

I really need a simple and easy Science Fair topic desperately, for a high school sience fair, procedures included would be nice :)

Answer 1

My kids use this website to get their science fair ideas http://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/ It has project ideas, tip sheets, step-by-step instructions on basic science fair setup, etc.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Are the layers in the earth REALLY indications of different geological chunks of time? Like are the deeper down layers what happened first, and what happened later is on top of that? Is there anything else that can make the earth settle in layers that maybe doesn't have anything to do with time or "ages"? Could all those layers have been caused by a huge flood that completely submerged all the dirt, all the earth? Is it possible to duplicate flood dynamics -- like by mixing up fine dirt and thick clay and fine gravel and heavy gravel, all kinds of soil, then pouring a lot of water fast under pressure onto them, so they're covered completely, and then letting them settle? When they settle, do they settle in layers? What do you think will happen if you do this? Is a gallon jar big enough to duplicate flood dynamics, using a garden hose to fill it with water? Maybe you need to put all the different kinds of dirt into a bigger jar, but it needs to be glass so that after everything settles, you can see clearly on the side whether it settled into layers. If it doesn't, what do you think that means? If it does, what does that mean?

If this makes layers, then maybe the deeper layers really aren't "older" than the top layers, maybe they're just heavier. If the deep layers aren't any older than the top layers in your experiment, maybe they aren't any older on our earth either. If that's true, then how do you know which fossils are older and which ones are more recent? Could a world-wide flood, a really powerful, long-lasting one, have changed the fossil and earth layers so much that it's impossible to know which fossils came first and which came last? Is it possible that the whole idea of "evolution" is based on a mistaken idea about what the earth's layers mean?

I Have a few I've done. Here's an easy one aht you cna have results in 24 hours.

1) Devide water into it's two main components (hydrogen and water). I used a plastic bucket with distilled water (you can sue tap water but you need to use a softener to remove the minerals) two test tubes, 2 pieces of coper wire, two carbon rods taked from the center of 2 D batteries, and a 9 vold battery.

Wrap part of each carbon rod with the wire (I used electracal tape to secure it abit). Fill the bucket up with water. I used a coat hanger to hold the test tubes upright. Place one carbon rod in each test tube. Connect one wire to the positive and one to the negitive. Let it sit for 24 hours. You will see a stream of bubbles inside each test tube. That's the break down. Once you get enough in each test tube you will find that one has half as much as the other. H2O (water) broken down will have 2x the amount of hydrogen. This is how you prove you have what you think you got. Take a toothpick. Light the tip. Let it form an ember. take the test tube that you think has oxygen in it. BEFORE YOU REMOVE IT UNPLUG THE BATTERY! Place your thumb over the hole before you take it out. Oxygen is heavy and you will have to do it all over again. With your thumb over the tube flip it upright and you can uncover it. Place teh ember in the tube. IT should flare. Do the same with the hydrogen except keep it tube facing towards the floor (hydrogen is lighter). Place an embeer inside (use needle nose plyers) you will get a pop!

Hope this helps!

I have others that gave me great grades (I always got A+ on all my projects for their uniqueness and quality) Feel free to contact me for more!

Answer 4

You could try to see if a plant can survive with different liquids. You could pick four different liquids: water, juice, soda, and something else. You could grow the plant for two weeks and see which one grows the fastest. Make sure to have observations for the time. This is the easiest one I can think of.

Answer 5

I did 'Which batteries last longer" Ones kept in freezer and ones kept at room temperature. I used the same batteries and the same flash lights and recorded the time they stayed on... Also "what melts ice the fastest?" salt, sugar, sand, kitty litter and dirt, make your ice in tupperware things and put the ingredients on them and record what happens... of course the salt melts ice the fastest

Answer 6

See how much time it takes a skittle to loose its colour in hot water.

1.Get 1 cup filled with steaming hot water
