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.

If you want to make sure you do a really winning science fair project; go to 24 Hour Science Projects now! Access is instant; your project can be ready tomorrow.

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Six – Static Electricity

24 Hour Science Projects

Here is part six of our Science Fair projects Kids Will Enjoy about static Electricity. In this experiment we are going to see how to a spoon, laden with static electricity, will draw puffed wheat or rice to it. Opposite to a negative and a negative “pushing” each other away as in our previous example.

Here are our science fair projects kids will enjoy:

The case of the plastic spoon and the puffed wheat or rice:

What you will need for this experiment:

A bowl of puffed wheat or rice
A plastic teaspoon
A wooly sweater

How to do your experiment:

Without doing anything to the spoon, keep it just above the bowl of puffed wheat or rice.
What happens?
Rub the spoon on your sweater for a few minutes to load it with the extra electrons until it is negative.
Now hold the spoon just above the bowl of puffed wheat or rice.
What happens?
Keep the spoon there.
Why does it happen?
What happens after a short while?
Why does it happen?

After you have done all the previous science projects, you should be able to explain what happened here. Remember you should be able to give a scientific explanation for every step and why you are doing it.

Have a look at all our other science fair projects kids will enjoy to see how the whole process follows one on the other. It is important with these science fair projects kids will enjoy to do them all to make a complete science fair project. If you are in a hurry, go to: 24 Hour Science Projects now! There you will find complete projects that can be done in 24 hour or less.

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.

Good Science Fair Projects – Plants Reaching For Light (Part two)

Magriet — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:01:21 +0000

In our previous good science fair project we had a look at chlorophyll and how plants use this chlorophyll, sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (a form of sugar.) What else, that is very important, is produced through photosynthesis? (In the process carbon dioxide is taken from the air, what is released back into the air?) Now we are going to do a good science fair project to demonstrate how plants actually reach for sunlight. We know by now that they cannot survive without light, which we proved in our previous science fair project. Now we are going to do a really fun science fair project. If you want to do a really good science fair project, it might be a good idea to combine these two science fair projects as it gives you a very clear and visual picture of plants growing and needing sunlight.

Today’s science fair project is a good science fair project for someone that is a little handy. We are going to make a maze in a shoe box to demonstrate how the plant searches and reaches for light.

What you will need for your good science fair project:

* First you need a shoe box
* You will need a pair of scissors
* Stiff card
* Some sticky tape
* Black paint
* A paint brush
* A pair of gardening gloves to protect your hands
* A runner bean
* A plant pot
* Some good compost
* Water

Now for the fun part: making your maze in your shoe box!

1. To start cut a hole in the one end of the shoe box.
2. Making a maze in your shoe box is very easy, start by cutting eight flaps out of the stiff cards. The flaps must fit securely into your shoe box in the width.
3. Now paint your shoe box and the eight flaps all over with black paint. Do you know why we are doing that? Think about the light reflecting…yes, the black paint is to stop the light entering through the hole from reflecting inside the shoe box!
4. Now you can make a maze by sticking the eight flaps of card inside the shoe box with sticky tape. Cut slots into your flaps at a different place in each flap to form a maze (if you are not sure how to do this, ask for the help of an adult who knows what a maze looks like.)
5. Plant a runner bean in a small plant pot with compost.
6. Water the soil each day to keep it moist but, do not make it too wet. Keep it in a warm place until the bean has a shoot. Remember to keep the soil moist, depending on the temperature; it may not be necessary to water the bean everyday.
7. When your plant has a shoot place it at the bottom of your maze.
8. Close the lid and place the maze in a sunny spot.
9. Remove the lid once a day to see if your plant needs water.
10. Now you can observe what is happening.
11. If you did it right, the plant will grow and find its way through your maze to steadily move towards the light.
12. Eventually your plant will poke through the hole at the top of your shoe box.
13. For display purposes it is a good idea to take a photo of your plant growing zig-zag through your maze and out the hole at the top.

This is one of our good science fair projects for those that like to make things and our prospective gardeners!

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.
