This is one of our examples of science fair projects that is very easy and are suitable for elementary school kids. We are going to use sand to represent the land and water the ocean. It is going to show us why temperatures close to the sea is more moderate. Winters close to the sea tends to be milder than inland. Humidity can also influence how hot it feels. In more humid conditions it feels hotter, even though the temperature is the same.
Now on to our measuring temperature experiment
What you need for this experiment:
- Sand
- A jug of water
- Two bowls
- A thermometer
- A note book
- A pen
How to do your science project:
- Pour water into one of the bowls and sand into the other bowl. It is not necessary to measure the quantities exactly it must just be more or less the same quantity.
- Now you have to place the two bowls in a cool place together.
- Leave them there for a few hours.
- Measure the temperature of both, make sure it is the same otherwise leave it for a while longer until they are the same temperature.
- Make a note of the temperature.
- Now you have to place both bowls in a sunny and hot place for about two hours until they are very hot.
- Measure and record the temperatures of both bowls and make a note of it.
- Put both bowls in a cool place indoors.
- Now you have to measure the temperatures of the water and the sand every 15 minutes and write it down in your not book.
- You should notice that the sand cools down much faster than the water.
- You can also dip your hands in both and feel the difference. You can make a note of it as well but, of course your real evidence is not what you feel but the temperatures you recorded.
- Why is it that there is a difference?
- Where does the heat come from?
This is a very easy science fair projects and is also one of our examples of science fair projects that is very suitable for homeschooling. If you need more examples of science fair projects, you can visit Easy Science Fair Projects.
