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:

1. Cut out your paper dolls (about 3-4)
2. Place two books a little way apart with the metal plate between them
3. Place the glass disk over them to be over the metal plate
4. Place the paper dolls in the metal plate
5. What happens when you place the paper dolls on the metal plate under the glass disk?
6. Now rub the glass disk with the woolen cloth for a few minutes
7. What happens?
8. 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.

The case of the hostile balloons!

What you will need:

• 2 Balloons
• 2 pieces of string
• A wooly sweater

How to do this experiment:

1. Blow up both balloons as much as possible without bursting them
2. Tie them with the strings
3. Rub both on your sweater for a few minutes
4. What happens?
5. Why do you think it happens?
6. 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.

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.
