Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Seven – Static Electricity

24 Hour Science Projects

Here is part seven of our Science Fair projects Kids Will Enjoy about static Electricity. In this experiment we are going to see how to objects that are negatively laden are attracted to objects that are positively laden. Once the objects are no longer negatively laden, they are not drawn by a positively laden object any more.

Remember for a full science project you will have to combine this whole series, so, I hope you have time to wait for them all! If not, there is a very good solution for you, go to 24 Hour Science Projects; there you will find complete science fair projects you can do in 24 hours or less! So, if you are in a hurry, go to 24 Hour Science Projects now!

Here are our science fair projects kids will enjoy:

Remember, for all science fair projects you have to make notes of everything you do, why you do it, what you are trying to prove or demonstrate and your conclusion. It is always a good idea to take photos for your exhibition.

The case of the dancing paper dolls:

What you need for your experiment:

Two books
A glass disk
A metal plate
Two books
Tissue paper dolls about 3cm tall (cut any way you prefer as long as they not too big)
A woolen cloth

How to do your experiment:

Cut out your paper dolls (about 3-4)
Place two books a little way apart with the metal plate between them
Place the glass disk over them to be over the metal plate
Place the paper dolls in the metal plate
What happens when you place the paper dolls on the metal plate under the glass disk?
Now rub the glass disk with the woolen cloth for a few minutes
What happens?
Why does it happen?

By rubbing the glass disk with the woolen cloth it is loaded with electron to make it negative
Now the disk draws the positively laden paper dolls and they are also loaded
Now they drop down and the metal plate draws the electrons from them, once again making them positive
Now the glass draws them again and so the dance continues

I think this can be quite a good display for your friends to admire!

This is the seventh of our short series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. Look out for the others as doing all these experiments as one will probably be the best way of doing a thorough science fair project.

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Five – Static Electricity

24 Hour Science Projects

Here is part five of our Science Fair projects Kids Will Enjoy about static Electricity. In this experiment we are going to see how to objects that are negatively laden “push” each other away. Opposite to a negative and positive drawing each other.

Here are our science fair projects kids will enjoy:

The case of the hostile balloons!

What you will need:

2 Balloons
2 pieces of string
A wooly sweater

How to do this experiment:

Blow up both balloons as much as possible without bursting them
Tie them with the strings
Rub both on your sweater for a few minutes
What happens?
Why do you think it happens?
What happens to the balloon closest to your sweater?

After you have rubbed the balloons on your sweater, they are both negatively laden with electrons they withdrew from your sweater. Because the sweater has given off the electrons it is now positively laden, this is why the balloon closest to your sweater sticks to your sweater while the two balloons drift far apart. So, what does that tell you about two objects that are negative or positively laden?

This is the fifth of our short series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. Look out for our next post as doing all these experiments as one will probably be the best way of doing a thorough science fair project.

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Four – Static Electricity

24 Hour Science Projects

Here is the next project in our series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. In this project kids will see why the effect of static electricity takes of in humid conditions. Here we are going to use a plastic spoon to “bend” a very thin stream of water.

Remember for a full science project you will have to combine this whole series, so, I hope you have time to wait for them all! If not, there is a very good solution for you, go to 24 Hour Science Projects; there you will find complete science fair projects you can do in 24 hours or less! So, if you are in a hurry, go to 24 Hour Science Projects now!

Here are our science fair projects kids will enjoy:

The case of the water “bend!”

What you will need for this experiment:

A plastic spoon
A wooly sweater
Access to a reliable tap where you can turn it on to make a really small little stream of water

How to do this project:

Rub the spoon against the wooly sweater for a few minutes
Open the tap so it makes the smallest stream possible
Bring the spoon close to the water stream
What happens?
Why do you think it happens?
Read the explanation about static electricity in the first of this series on static electricity.

At first the electrically laden plastic spoon draws the water. Should the spoon touch the water, the experiment is over as water is a good conductor of electricity and will immediately draw the electricity from the spoon and the spoon will not be charged any more. Therefore it will stop “bending” the water. This is why experiments on static electricity works better on dry days than on days that are very humid.

This is the fourth of our short series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. Look out for our next post as doing all these experiments as one will probably be the best way of doing a thorough science fair project.

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Three – Static Electricity

24 Hour Science Projects

Here is the next project in our series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. This is one of our really fun science fair projects kids will love to do. We are going to make a dancing paper snake!

Remember for a full science project you will have to combine this whole series, so, I hope you have time to wait for them all! If not, there is a very good solution for you, go to 24 Hour Science Projects; there you will find complete science fair projects you can do in 24 hours or less! So, if you are in a hurry, go to 24 Hour Science Projects now!

Here are our science fair projects kids will enjoy:

The case of the dancing snake

What you need for this experiment:

A piece of tissue paper about 4 inches by 4 inches
A pair of scissors
A pen
A wooly sweater
A lid of a tin, big enough for your snake to fit on

How to do this experiment:

Cut a spiral formed “snake” our of the tissue paper
Place it on your lid
Bend the head of your “snake” so it is upward
Rub your pen on the wooly sweater for a few minutes
Hold it an inch or so above the snake
What happens?
Why do you think it happens?
Try and explain it after reading the explanation in the first experiment in this series on this blog
Why do you think we placed it on the tine lid?
Does it play any role in the “snake dance?”

The clue here is that when you hold the electrically charged pen close to the snake which is uncharged it is drawn to the pen and lifts up toward the pen. The moment the electrons pass to the snake, the tin lid absorbs it and the snake is once again uncharged. That is why it keeps on lifting again and again.

This is the third of our short series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. Look out for our next post as doing all these experiments as one will probably be the best way of doing a thorough science fair project.

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Two – Static Electricity

Here is the next project in our series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. In this one we are going to try and separate finely ground pepper from salt! It is so important for kids to enjoy science that it is always good to do fun science experiments with them.

For a good science fair project you have to make notes of all your steps, saying what you are doing and why you are doing it. You must formulate a hypothesis, sdo the experiment according to the correct scientific method and think of your display. It is always a good idea to take photos as you go.

The case of the pepper and the salt:

What you need:

Very fine pepper
Salt
A plastic spoon
A woolly sweater

What you have to do:

Sprinkle quite a bit of the pepper and salt on the table
Make sure you mix them well
Rub the plastic spoon on the sweater for a few minutes
Hold it above the mixture on the table, not too low but high enough for the pepper to attach to it
What happens?
What did you do when you rubbed the spoon on the sweater?
Have a look at the explanation in our previous post called “Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part One – Static Electricity”

You must make sure the spoon is high enough, if it is not high enough the salt, that is heavier than the pepper, will also be able to jump as high as the pepper and the two will not separate.

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part One – Static Electricity

Magriet — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:38:10 +0000

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part One – Static Electricity

All kids love the fun you can have with static electricity. This is why this is one of our science fair projects kids will really enjoy doing. This is a series of short experiments showing static electricity in action. The kids will be able to do most of it alone and all the supplies are readily available.

Here are our science fair projects kids will enjoy:

The case of the clinging balloons:

What you will need:

A few balloons
A woolly sweater

This is what you have to do:

Blow up your balloons and tie them securely
Rub the balloons against your sweater for a few minutes
Now press them against the ceiling
What happens?
What did you do when you rubbed the balloons against your sweater?
How does that make the balloons cling to the ceiling?
Make note of how long they stay there
Do you think there are factors that can make them fall down sooner or hang there for a longer period?
Try boiling a kettle in the room and see what happens (let an adult help here!)

By rubbing the balloons against your sweater you are charging the balloons with electricity. How? They absorb small particles called electrons, which are negative electrical particles, from the sweater.

Because objects that are electrically charged draws objects that are not electrically charged, the balloons “stick” to the ceiling until they are no longer electrically charged.

Normally the balloons will stay there for a long time as the ceiling is a very weak conductor and the electrons flow very slowly through the ceiling because a room is normally very dry. If you room is a little more humid, it will take longer. It may be a good idea to do two experiments, one in dry air and one in humidity and see if your results differ.

This is the first of our short series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. Look our for our nest post as doing all these experiments as one will probably be the best way of doing a thorough science fair project.

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Love To Do – Does Carbon dioxide Have Weight?

We all know kids love exploring and finding out things. It is important that we use this time to make them love science. This is what these science fair projects kids will love are all about.

It is very important for kids to love doing science projects. The best way to start is to let them do some fun projects and show them how it can be turned into a science fair project. Here is one of our science fair projects kids will love to do.

All science projects should always be done with adults there for safety’s sake!

Throughout this experiment it is good to make notes of everything you do and also to take photos of each step for your display.

Questions you will be able to answer after you have completed this project:

Why is it possible to balance the stick with the two bags like a balance scale?
What is inside the bags?
What is produced when you mix the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar?
Why are you able to “pour” it into the plastic bag?
Why does the stick tilt?
What has happened?

Do you thing carbon dioxide has weight? Well, let’s find out!

What you need for this experiment:

2 Plastic bags of the same size
A stick of about 20 inches
A Thumbnail
Vinegar
Bicarbonate of soda
A glass
A teaspoon
A note book
A pen
A camera

How to do this science fair project for kids:

Attach the two plastic bags to the stick one at each end
Balance the stick with the bags on the thumbnail on the corner of a table like a balance scale
Put one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a glass
Add a few drops of the vinegar, enough to make a reaction.
You will notice that it is beginning to make foam as the gas escapes from it.
Place the opening of the glass over one of the plastic bags
What happens to your scale? It tilts to the side where you have placed the opening of the glass over the plastic bag
The gas the escaped during the chemical reaction was carbon dioxide and it is heavier than air
That is why you could “pour” it into the plastic bag
If you were to fill a balloon with this gas, it will never be able to float, for it to float you will have to fill it with a gas lighter than air such as helium.
What is the conclusion of your experiment? Does carbon dioxide have weight? Does carbon dioxide weight more or less than air?

This is the basics for this science fair project for kids to do. Now you will need to know the correct way of doing your display. You also have to know what the correct scientific method is, you will have to be able to explain it to the judges together with your display.

A very good place to get all the information you need for this is with an e-book such as 24 Hour Science Projects. There you will get complete projects with everything you need from hypothesis to conclusion, with charts and all. 24 Hour Science Projects are instantly downloadable and you can have your project ready in a short while.

Easy Elementary Science Projects: Eggs and Pollution

Magriet — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 15:07:55 +0000

This is one of our easy elementary science projects to show the effect of oil pollution on sea life. (On all aquatic life.) It is horrifying to see what oil is capable of doing and this experiment will show the kids that all the worrying about oil spills in the sea is not exaggerated and that it in fact has devastating results. This easy elementary science project is also very suitable for homeschoolers.

What you need for this experiment:

4 Hard boiled eggs
4 Sealable plastic bags
Water
Food coloring
Motor oil or other wise olive oil as a substitute
Felt marker
A watch or a timer
Some masking tape

What to do:

1. Take your 4 bags and mark them 1, 2, 3 and 4.
2. Now you fill each bag with ½ Cup of water and ½ Cup of your oil.
3. Drop a few drops of food coloring into each bag, mix it well with the oil.
4. Take your hard boiled eggs and place them in the bag.
5. Now you remove the eggs from the bag as follows
#1 after fifteen minutes
#2 after half an hour
#3 after an hour
#4 after two hours
6. Each time you have removed the egg from the bag, carefully peel the shell off the egg.
7. Write Down your observations.
8. You will notice that the longer the egg stayed in the oil, the more oil got inside the shell of the egg. (The food coloring makes it easy for you to see that.)
9. Remember to make accurate notes of everything you do and it is best if you also take photos of the results for your display.

Doing Elementary science fair projects need not be a problem. There are tremendous e-books available that gives you all the ideas and information you need. I find 24 Hours Science Projects very good as it gives you complete experiments from hypothesis to conclusion that can be done in 24 hours or less. This is important because it prevents your home from being taken over by the project for months on end.

Cool Science Fair Projects – The Power Of Growing Flowers

Magriet — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:32:46 +0000

Cool Science Fair Projects – The Power Of Growing Flowers

This is one of our cool science fair projects that show the strength of growing plants.

What you need for this science fair project:

A sheet of clear plastic
A healthy potted plant
A box of paper clips
2 Small boxes just a bit higher than the plant

How to do this cool science fair project:

Take your healthy potted plant and place it on a windowsill that gets enough sun.
Now you place the two boxes on each side of the plant taking care not to shade the plant.
Lay the plastic across the boxes and let it hang down the two sides of the boxes.
Make two chains that are identical with the paper clips
Lay these chains over the clear plastic so that it hangs down the sides of the boxes.
Arrange them evenly and mark their positions on the boxes.
Now you care for the plant as normal.
Check and mark the positions of the chains from time to time

What has happened?

Make note of what happens?
Measure the markings as they move up the boxes.
Why do the chains move up?

Explanation:

This experiment shows us how strong plants are. As the plant grows it pushes the plastic and thus the chains up. Now you can see how plants can be so incredibly strong and grow through blocks of cement and why weeds push through the sidewalk cracks to reach the light (Plants need light to stay alive and grow)

Easy Science For Kid

Easy Science For Kid

Getting easy science for a kid is easier than you may think. You can teach your kid science in the home everyday with normal household goods and stuff you keep in the house. Make it a game and the kids learn easy science without even realizing it.

Easy Science For Kid – How fat is certain kinds of things:

This is an easy experiment to find out which foods contain a lot of fat and which ones does not contain a lot of fat. Of course this is not a complete science fair experiment, but only and indication of an idea. For complete science fair projects I recommend a good e-book such as 24 Hour Science Projects that has all the help you need to do a winning science fair project.

What you need for this easy science for kid:

A sheet of paper
A pencil
Margarine
Lemon
Potato chips
Peanut butter
Honey
Cream

How to do this easy science for kid:

Draw six small circles on your piece of paper
Write down the name of each of your food as mentioned above under one of the circles so that you have one circle marking for each of the food stuff you have. You can of course use more if you want to do a little more.
Now you have to rub a bit of each kind of food onto the circle marked with that kind of food’s name so you will know which food is on which circle.
Leave it for about fifteen minutes.
Now you have to examine the paper on both sides.
What has happened?
Why do you think it happened?

You will notice that some of the spots are dry. Some of the others will be greasy and the spot will be spreading. Do you know why this happened? Well, both water and fat make a spot on paper by filling in the spaces between the fibers of the paper. When the water in the spots made by foods with water evaporates, the spot becomes dry. The spots made by the fat however, do not dry as the fat globules can only be broken down by soap or some kind of solvent such as ether. For this reason the fat spot remains and spreads while the water spot disappears

This is a simple example of easy science for kid that can be done very easily and it is therefore very suitable for homeschooling.
