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.

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 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:

1. Without doing anything to the spoon, keep it just above the bowl of puffed wheat or rice.
2. What happens?
3. Rub the spoon on your sweater for a few minutes to load it with the extra electrons until it is negative.
4. Now hold the spoon just above the bowl of puffed wheat or rice.
5. What happens?
6. Keep the spoon there.
7. Why does it happen?
8. What happens after a short while?
9. 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 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.

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:

1. Rub the spoon against the wooly sweater for a few minutes
2. Open the tap so it makes the smallest stream possible
3. Bring the spoon close to the water stream
4. What happens?
5. Why do you think it happens?
6. 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!

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:

1. Cut a spiral formed “snake” our of the tissue paper
2. Place it on your lid
3. Bend the head of your “snake” so it is upward
4. Rub your pen on the wooly sweater for a few minutes
5. Hold it an inch or so above the snake
6. What happens?
7. Why do you think it happens?
8. Try and explain it after reading the explanation in the first experiment in this series on this blog
9. Why do you think we placed it on the tine lid?
10. 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.
