How do i write an introduction for my science fair project?
What are you trying to prove or disprove with your project? Your introduction should state what you are trying to prove or disprove or the purpose of your project. I don't know anything about paper chromatography so I can't give you an exact example. If I were trying to prove that color affects the way people perceive a scene then I would print out a pretty peaceful scene in different shades and then a horrific scene in the same shades, show them to lots of people and record their response, collect my data, etc. For my introduction I would say something like... Most humans see things in color. There was a day when television and cameras could only show scenes in black and white. Back then people would have to use their imaginations as to the color. Now we just accept things in color but now that we have the ability to adjust the color so easily with computers and printers available to the average person I feel it is important to know if color affects the way people respond to a scene? It is my intention to show that color does affect the way people respond or react to a scene. This was kind of lengthy but I hope it helps.
Catchy Science Fair Project Title (Paper Airplanes)?
Going The Distance: What is the ideal material for making paper planes fly? Come Fly With Me: A closer look at the construction of paper planes If You Build It, Will They Fly? Determining the best materials for paper planes Up, Up, and Away: How to make paper planes fly
How would you write out a thesis statement on a science fair project if there aren’t any examples to show how to do it?
There are examples--journal papers. You really shouldn't be as technical as them (considering the audience you're aiming for), but you should be able to explain all of your major concepts and results in brief and easy-to-understand explanations. It's also dependent on which science fair you're going for, i.e. JSHS, ISEF, etc.
How to write in third person?
Well third person would be as describing everything as if someone else was doing it or did it already. Pretend you are watching someone do the science experiment and you have to describe it to someone who knows nothing about science. example- an ammeter was connected to the circuit and the current was recorded. Then the circuit was rewired with another pathway, making in a parallel circuit Hope this helps and good luck with your science project!! **IMPORTANT!! avoid words like I, me, my, you yours, etc. If you need to use something like 'then you put the thermometer in the test tube' you should replace it with 'one', so it would be 'then one would put the thermometer in the test tube'
What is a sample size in science fair?
Sample size is how many times you did the test (how many observations you did). So you had four different parachutes, and you tested each 8 times.
I want to do a science fair project on stem cells, but don’t want it to be just information. How can I make it an experiment?
I don’t know that you can run an actual experiment given restraints of time, equipment and budget.HOWEVER, you might be able to provide a demonstration, based on small critters who reproduce limbs or body parts which are cut away for some reason. This feat, known as regeneration, is similar to what stem cells can do (subject to some qualifications).The planaria are flat worms which, when chopped into pieces, will produce as many new worms as there are pieces. Here’s a video:For your demonstration, get in touch with these folks:Brown Planaria, LivingThey have a kit and set of instructions for demonstrating the remarkable regenerative ability of these critters.Your science fair display might show various petri dishes with worms that have been cut into sections at various points in the past few days before the show. Put magnifiers over the dishes so people can see what’s going on, and display photos which clearly indicate the regenerative process over time; maybe even stop-action video.That should get you started. Next step: talk to your biology teacher about what to do next.Good luck!
I need help in finding a purpose for my science fair project, about finding the absorption of Radiant Energy by Different Colors. Can you help me?
I need help in finding a purpose for my science fair project, about finding the absorption of Radiant Energy by Different Colors. Can you help me?Here’s a question for you to consider: what’s the best color of a roof?A black roof will absorb light very efficiently, but also radiate it away efficiently. A white roof won’t absorb light very efficiently, but it also retains the heat better.Whether you’re designing homes, engines, or clothing, the color can be very important. Energy efficiency might be one factor to consider.I’m afraid that’s all I can come up with at the moment. If something else crosses my mind, I’ll add to this.Good luck with your project.
What is the best way to get a mentor for a regional science fair project?
“What is the best way to get a mentor for a regional science fair project?”This sounds like a project to me.When I plan a new project I usually sit down with a blank sheet of paper.I once wanted to do something with education, I wanted to come up some standards from industry to the field of education, that contained the essence of what industry expected of education, as regards the quality of students that would be entering the workforce in the future. It amounted to working out what was missing from education and that should be there.I wound up asking myself this question, “How would I do it?” Now in this case “I” was a Professional Engineer with decades of experience in Engineering and with New Hire Engineers, and I had been doing a lot of grumbling about the quality of new people coming to my desk when the company hired new Engineers to work there. My job was to bring them on-board up-to-speed as effective Project Engineers.So let’s say, that is what you write at the very top of that blank sheet of paper. “How would I do it?” In this case “I” is you. (This gives you a viewpoint to start to solve a problem.)Now might be the time for some soul searching. Are you going to brush this Science project off anyway? Do you want to do something that challenges who you are as a person?I believe in the idea that two minds are greater than one. An athlete that aspires to be an Olympic Athlete can do stupendous feats of athleticism. But with the aid of the right Olympic Coach he or she, with the assistance of the Olympic Coach and with this additional personal contribution, can do things the athlete as an individual can not do. Some can do things, in this way, NO ONE else has ever done. So a mentor is someone that believes in you and can assist you to achieve levels you can not achieve alone, or shall we say with a lessor Coach. This Coach might not be the best, it might be your mom, or little sister, but this person can bring out the best in you and they believe so much in you and your abilities that you can do things that you can not do alone. The right combination might help you do things NO ONE else can do.Leon
