Easy Science Fair Projects

Where does all the water go that a plant absorbs? Do plants release water? This is the start of this very easy science fair project that is suitable for very small kids. Your purpose is to show that the water the plants absorb from the ground is finally released again. For more top science projects that can be done in a short period of time I can recommend 24 Hour Science projects.

What you need for your plants releasing water science fair project:

• One small, healthy potted plant
• A clear plastic bag
• Some tape or string
• A note book
• A pencil
• A camera for your photos
• Water

How to do your experiment:

1. Start by watering the plant thoroughly
2. Now you place the plastic bag over the green leafy part of the plant and secure it around the stem with your tape or string.
3. Make very sure that you do not damage the plant
4. Now you place the plant in a sunny spot
5. Check on your plant every hour, make notes of what you see and take photos for your display
6. What happens?
7. Why do you think it happens?

Explanation:

The leaves of the plant have tiny openings called stomata in them, mostly at the bottom of the leaves. When the plant produces food it takes in air from the stomata and then it releases the air again as well. In the same way water is also released form these stomata. This is the water vapor you see condensation on the inside of the plastic bag in the form of droplets.

It is this process that is the reason for the high humidity in a jungle.

Of course, the amount of water a plant releases will depend on the weather conditions as well as the size and shape of the leaves.

Here is a fun science fair project to show how seeds absorb water to start the growing process. It is an easy and fast project to do if you have run out of time. For more good science projects you can have a look at 24 Hour Science Projects as you will fin more easy projects in it that you can do in a very short amount of time.

Here is your science fair project about starting the growing process:

What you will need for this science fair project:

• 1 Pen
• 1 Note book
• Tag Stickers
• A camera for the photos for your display
• 2 Small sealable plastic bags
• Enough dry beans to fill the 2 plastic bags
• A tray
• Water

How to do your experiment:

1. Start by writing down your hypothesis (that is what you think will happen)
2. Fill each of the bags with dry beans
3. Mark them A and B
4. A will be your control (what is that? Find out in 24 Hour Science projects)
5. Fill bag B with as much water as possible
6. Seal both the bags very well
7. Place them on your tray
8. Place the tray outside in a sunny location

What happens?

• Now you to observe your beans for a few hours
• Make meticulous notes and take some photos for your display
• After a few hours you will notice that the beans in the bag with the water start to swell
• After some more time they will swell so much that the bag will pop open and the beans will spill out

Why does this happen?

What can your conclusion be?

Was your hypothesis correct?

When you are doing this science fair project about starting the growing process, it does not matter if your hypothesis was correct or not. What is important is that you have followed the correct scientific method and arrived at a conclusion that proves what you set out to prove.

It is possible to do a good High School Science Fair Project On Air Pollution. There is an easy way to do one for little kids as well; using more or less the same method you can do a wind erosion science project. Wind erosion is another major problem in many parts of the world and it is good to see how bad it is in your vicinity.

For a good science fair project you have to make sure you use the correct scientific method. In a good ebook such as Super Science Fair projects you will be able to read all about it.

So, on to our little science e project:

This is what you will need:

• A few stirring paddles that you will get from a paint store
• Some broad double sided tape
• A felt marker
• A camera for your photos
• A note book and a pencil for your notes

This is what you have to do:

1. Stick the double sided tape onto the paddles (as many as you wish to use)
2. Now you stick the paddles into the ground in various places close to your home, ask an adult to go with you for safety’s sake, mark each one clearly and write it down in your note book.
3. Make sure the paddles face in different directions such as north, south, east, west, northwest and so on.
4. Now check on these paddles at regular intervals, say about twice a week.
5. Record what you see on the paddles and take photos.
6. Make sure you make a not of the location of each paddle

This project will show you how much wind erosion is in your vicinity by the amount of dust and dirt that are collected on the puddles. Write down exactly what happens and why you think there is a difference in the different paddles. What lies in the vicinity from where the wind came? Did that have any influence on the amount of dirt on the paddles? Does the wind blow mainly from one direction where you stay? Do you think that can have an influence on your project?

These are some of the questions you will be able to answer in this science project. To see exactly how you have to do it, go and have a look at Super Science Fair Projects.
