Science Fair Projects S.
6 total works
This is a collection of 53 science projects and experiments which revolve around space science and aerodynamics, astronomy and the night sky, the seasons, light and optics. All the projects involve inexpensive and readily available materials. They explain and demonstrate scientific principles, covering areas including the Moon's motions, star patterns, how the sun casts shadows, paper aeroplanes designed for distance, gravity's effect on light, light pollution, maps of the northern and southern hemispheres, the effect of sunlight on colour, the practical benefits of space research, and the timeline of space exploration.
A collection of 55 science-is-all-around-you investigations. It examines topics such as solar, heat, pressure, fluid, sound, magnetism, electricity and gravity by examining steam, storms, fossils, fuels, food, trees, the wind, radio frequency, and other means of energy.
"This practical book offers 46 projects...exploring electromagnetic forces, static electricity, current flow, electromechanical devices and motors, resistance and capacitance, the generation of electricity, solid-state electronics, and radio-frequency energy....Using materials that are relatively easy to find, the activities encourage children to learn about electricity through simple experiments and variations....The large format allows each project to appear on one page or spread, eliminating page flipping....Illustrated with simple line drawings, the book provides a good starting point for classroom learning and science fair demonstrations."-- "Booklist
. Experiments designed for safety. 96 pages, 8 1/4 x 11.
Spark scientific curiosity with easy-to-find materials. Colorfully demonstrate why things stay cold or hot, how energy flows, why things accelerate, and how sound travels. With these great science fair experiments budding scientists can have a "swinging good time" testing pendulums; measure the momentum of a dropping ball; check if water affects a magnetic field; store solar heat; move heavy objects easily with the help of a lever; and much more.
How fizzy is lemonade after it's warmed up? What happens to a rubberband that's been left outside? Which types of clothing keeps you warmest and why? What chemicals are there in processed food? Find out the answers and take top marks in your science class with these 47 hands-on science experiments.
An investigation of the scientific principles in evidence around us, this project-book contains 60 projects that use materials around the house to create experiments in biology, weather, physics, botany, chemistry, behaviour and even consumerism. Activities range from the simple - observing evidence of wild animals - to the complex - comparing the rates of decomposition of chicken bones. The projects are designed for older students working on their own (with adult supervision) or for parents to use with younger children, and look at issues such as: how sunlight affects colours; how temperature affects smells; recycling and consumerism; finding where insects live; testing humidity indoors and out; and discovering invisible pollution.
