Thread: Science help

  1. #1

    Default Science help

    I know this is probably the last thing you guys want to do but I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't serious, do any of you guys have any idea's about science expo/fair ideas of topics? Something that can mostly be done with household equipment and doesn't take very long. I'm sorry for asking but I know there are some really intelligent folks here.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Haha, any help would be appreciated. It mostly needs to be creative and fast. eg all I did last year was made an electromagnet with copper wire wrapped around a steel core testing efficiency with different voltages and amount of times the copper was wrapped around the core. Similar things would help.

    I don't do Science, and I don't think many of us are that way inclined, except maybe Phoenix?

    So you wanna go the easy route huh? Why not do the mentals in Coke thing. Its been done to death online but there is actually some good science behind it. The Mythbusters did a piece on it where they explained why it does that fizzy thing. Google is thy friend. See what you can find. Its easy, cheap and should wow ur teachers especially if their not clued up with internet stuff.

    You could also do the classic volcano thing but maybe block the hole and show them what happened when Krakatoa went bang.
