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 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.

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!

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:

1. Sprinkle quite a bit of the pepper and salt on the table
2. Make sure you mix them well
3. Rub the plastic spoon on the sweater for a few minutes
4. Hold it above the mixture on the table, not too low but high enough for the pepper to attach to it
5. What happens?
6. What did you do when you rubbed the spoon on the sweater?
7. 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 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:

1. Why is it possible to balance the stick with the two bags like a balance scale?
2. What is inside the bags?
3. What is produced when you mix the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar?
4. Why are you able to “pour” it into the plastic bag?
5. Why does the stick tilt?
6. 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:

1. Attach the two plastic bags to the stick one at each end
2. Balance the stick with the bags on the thumbnail on the corner of a table like a balance scale
3. Put one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a glass
4. Add a few drops of the vinegar, enough to make a reaction.
5. You will notice that it is beginning to make foam as the gas escapes from it.
6. Place the opening of the glass over one of the plastic bags
7. What happens to your scale? It tilts to the side where you have placed the opening of the glass over the plastic bag
8. The gas the escaped during the chemical reaction was carbon dioxide and it is heavier than air
9. That is why you could “pour” it into the plastic bag
10. 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.
11. 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. Go there now and have a look.
