Gun Science Project?
I have to do a science fair project for school this year and I am tired of doing pointless topics that aren't even interesting. So, this year I want to do something ballistic related. I have had one idea so far, I want to see the penetration on a piece of 1/4 inch steel of hollow point 7.62x39, soft point 7.62x39 and full metal jacket 7.62x39. Then, I want to use the same rounds fired into a chunk of gelatin to see how they effect it. The science fair guidelines online has a safety form to fill out if you are suing "dangerous" items or activities and on that firearms are included so I think that if I fill out the form this isn't against any regulations, if it is my teacher will tell me and I can just submit another idea. Do you guys like this idea, I know it is simple but I don't want it to be to complex for people to understand. Do you have any better ideas? I want to keep it reasonably low cost and simple enough for non-gun types to understand. Thanks for the help.
What are some science fair project ideas that I could use my guinea pig in?
If you only have one guinea pig, then I don't know if this will work out as well as it would with two, but make two identical mazes, and place one water bottle at the end of each maze. Put a bit of sugar in one of them and leave the other plain. Let your guinea pig lick the sugar water off your finger so they know it has sugar on it, and let it taste the plain water too. I would suggest doing the plain water test first because then the guinea pig may memorize the route it has to take to get to the sugar water, and since the mazes are identical, it wouldn't be a fair experiment. So do the plain water maze first, then the sugar one. As I said, this would work better if you have another guinea pig, as one will or might end up memorizing the route, rendering the experiment invalid, but if you are in a low-ish grade, your teachers may look past this. Time how long it takes for your guinea pig to get through each maze (sugar water and plain), and explain a bit of the psychology in a guinea pig's brain (it recognizes the sugar water and will use its nose to sniff it out). This would work well. Or you could make different mazes for this too.
SCIENCE FAIR TITLE??? easy 10 points?
i need a catchy title for my science fair project...my project is diet coke and mentos...i put 3 bottles of diet coke and put them under 3 different temperatures and see which one made a higher explostion i need a really good title and if i use it...u get 10 points THNX
How to write a follow up experiment for science fair?
Usually in an experiment, your results will either prove or disprove your hypothsis, so your follow up experiments would go off of your results. For example if I was researching how pesticides affect an invasive species growth, and my hypothesis, which was "applying pesticides will decrease the growth of the invasive species", was proved; my follow up experiment could be "Does the pesticide also decrease the growth of the invasive species throughout several generations?" or it could be "Is pesticides the most effective way to decrease the growth of invasive species?" Your follow up experiments should build off of your results from your original experiment. Hope that helped :)
It’s important that a scientific experiment have only one experimental variable because:?
A- multiple experimental variables will make the procedure too difficult to continue B- the number of experimental variables must match the number of controlled variabes C- if there’s more than one experimental variable, the outcome may not be clearly attributable to any of them. D- Results are easier to record with only one experimental variable.
