Hi Everyone,

Lets grow some more crystals:

Elementary Science Fair Projects

Elementary Science Fair Projects: Growing a Crystal Garden

Let’s do another easy, elementary science fair project. In this blog we have already had two experiments where we grew crystals. In this easy elementary science fair project we are once again going to grow crystals in another way. I you haven’t done the previous two you can get them on this blog on January 10 and January 27. All you need to do is scroll down.

As we have seen many rocks are formed by crystallization. Can you still remember how crystals are formed? Do have a look at the Growing Crystals blogs to refresh your memory. I also want to remind you of 24 Hour Science Projects where you’ll get all the information you need to do a winning elementary science fair project. In 24 Hour Science Projects you’ll get complete experiments that you can do in 24 hours, some in even as little as 1 hour! 24 Hours Science Projects has everything you need for a good science fair project.

Now on to our elementary science fair project

This experiment needs to be done under adult supervision because ammonium is used and it is poisonous!

This is what you’ll need for this elementary science fair project:

• A small brick
• ½ Cup water
• A small bowl
• A large container such as a measuring jug
• ½ Cup bluing (you’ll get it at the laundry section of your grocery store)
• ½ Cup ammonia (also from your grocery store)
• Salt

This is what you need to do:

1. Wet your brick in a little water.
2. Place your brick in your small bowl.
3. In your jug, mix together the ½ cup, ½ cup bluing and the ½ cup ammonia.
4. Use a measuring cup and pour a little of the mixture over the brick.
5. After this you have to sprinkle your brick with salt.
6. Now you have to leave it for 24 hours.
7. After 24 hours some crystals will start forming on your brick.
8. Now you can add a little more of your mixture to keep your crystals growing.

It is of course possible to grow a multi colored “garden” by using a solution colored with different colors by using different colors of food coloring.

Now it is time to prepare your presentation. For instructions on how to do it from hypothesis right through to your conclusion with all the graphs, sheets etc. that you need, I strongly recommend 24 Hour Science Fair Projects. Doing an excellent elementary science fair project is of no use if you do not know how to do your presentation in the correct manner, which is why I recommend 24 Hours Science Projects.

Hi Everyone,

I think we are really getting int to osmosis now. I'm convinced that by now you will be able to understand this somewhat difficult experiment. I hope you have a lot of fun with it!

Easy Science Fair Project: How much water can a disposable diaper hold?

In this elementary science fair project we are going to observe how scientific knowledge can be put to good use in our daily life. You are probably too young to know but the old fashioned cotton diapers were really not very effective. On the other hand they were probably more environmentally friendly than disposable diapers. Well, that is a subject for a later elementary science fair project; today we are going to have a look at the reason why a disposable diaper is so effective. For more help and to make sure you do everything correct I strongly recommend 24 Hour Science Fair Projects. You'll get top science fair projects with 24 Hour Science Projects, try it!

The basis of the whole experiment resolves around osmosis. During osmosis water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. In the diapers a substance manufactured by polymerization of a mixture of sodium acrylate and acrylic acid. This sounds difficult but it is not really essential to understand for our experiment. What is important for our purposes is that the gelling occurs because of the osmotic pressure of water.

Now we want to establish how much water can be absorbed by a disposable diaper. First we are going to use distilled water (it can be bought at a pharmacy or as some call it a drug store, depending on where you stay.) Secondly we are going to repeat it and use a 0.9% salt solution that is closer to a baby’s urine to see if the concentration of the liquid makes any difference. We are also going to observe whether different makes of diapers have the same absorbency and try to explain it.

This is what you need for your elementary science fair project:

• 1x1x1 foot cardboard box
• 2 Clothespins
• A cereal bowl
• A pair of scissors
• A measuring cup that holds 2 cups
• A few sets of 2 diapers of different absorbency
• Distilled water
• *Salt solution of 9% (see below how to make it)

This is what you have to do:

1. First you have to remove the top and the one side of your cardboard box.
2. In order to be able to measure the water that finally cannot be absorbed by the diaper, cut a hole of about the size of a quarter in the center of the plastic covering on the outside of the diaper.
3. Take your cardboard box and drape the diaper, with the plastic covering at the bottom, over the top of your cardboard box and secure it with clothespins. (I know there are countries where people do not use clothespins, in that case use your imagination and secure the diaper to the cardboard box)
4. To catch the water when it starts dripping through the diaper, place your cereal bowl directly under the hole you cut in the plastic on the outside of the diaper.
5. Take your measuring cup and fill it with water.
6. Now you must pour the water over the inside of the diaper covering the inside by pouring from the one side to the other and back etc.
7. Keep doing this until the water start dripping through the hole in the outer plastic.
8. Carefully record the amount of water that the diaper absorbed before it started leaking.
9. Repeat with another brand of diaper with a different absorbency (as claimed by the manufacturer)
10. Make a careful note of any possible differences.
11. Now you have to repeat this again but, this time you have to use your salt solution.
12. Once again record what you see happen.
13. Try and explain the reasons for the difference in each of your experiments.

Elementary Science Fair projects are great fun and an easy way to learn the correct way of doing a science experiment. To make sure that you are using the correct scientific method and to see what the correct way is of notarizing your results and well has advice on your display, I strongly recommend and E-Book such as 24 Hour Science Projects.

Elementary Science Fair projects do not have to dump your home into chaos for months on end. As you’ve seen by the example elementary science fair projects, winning projects can be done in less than 24 hours if you have the correct information. With 24 Hour Science Fair Projects you’ll see how to do winning science fair projects with easy and using readily available supplies.

*9% Salt solution:

• 9 Grams of sodium chloride (table salt)
• 1-Quart (1-liter) jar
• 991ml of distilled water

Combine the above and stir until the salt has dissolved in the water. Note that this is not a very accurate way of making the solution but it is good enough for our purposes.

Hi Everyone,

Here is the second experiment abour Osmosis:

Good Science Fair Project: Natural water pumps

Natural Water Pumps 2

As promised last week here is another is another fun and good science fair project on water pumps. This is a really fun science fair project that gives you very visual results.

I have also very good new for all of you, Just Science Projects are up and running. They have three very good deals for you. I strongly recommend getting a good Science Fair Book to make very sure you do a winning science fair project. How you do your project, how you document it and how you do your display is very important. To make sure you get all this right, it is best to have a good science fair e-book such as Just Science Projects to help you and keep you on track.

Now on to our “Good Science Fair Project: Natural Water Pumps 2”

Science Fair Project About Osmosis

What you will need to do this Science Fair Project:

• Two tall drinking glasses
• Water
• Food coloring
• A White carnation
• A pair of scissors
• Some sticky tape

Here is what you need to do:

1. First of all you need to pour some water into both your glasses.
2. Now you have to add some food coloring to one of your glasses of water. You need to add enough to make sure that the water is colored very strong, so add enough coloring!
3. Take your carnation and split the stem lengthwise for about half of the carnation’s length.
4. Now you have to secure the stem at the end of your split with your sticky tape to prevent the stem from splitting any further.
5. Now you have to place the glasses next to each other, as close as possible.
6. Place the one half of the carnation’s stem into the glass with the clear water and the other half in the colored water.
7. If your carnation will not stay upright, lean it against something to keep it from falling over and lifting out of the water.
8. Leave your carnation in the water for a few hours.
9. Observe what happens very carefully.
10. What do you see happening?
11. Why is it happening?
12. This is where you have to give an explanation of osmosis and why it happens.
13. For record purposes it is also a good idea to take photos before, during and after you have completed your experiment.

Once again, I strongly recommend a good Science Fair Projects e-book such as Just Science Projects to help you and to make very sure you do everything in you experiment correctly.

Enjoy this Fun Science Fair Project!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you'll enjoy this first article about osmosis:

An Easy Science Fair Project On Natural Water Pumps (Osmosis)

 

For this science fair project we are still on the theme of trees. In this one we are going to look at the way trees manage to take up water, through its roots, to the highest branches. You can try sucking up water or any other drink through a very long straw and you will find it very difficult. Make your own long straw by joining together straws and try it.

 

Now our task with this easy science fair project is to demonstrate the way trees manages to pump hundreds of pints of water a day. This process is called osmosis. We are going to use two very easy experiments to demonstrate the process of osmosis. The first one we are going to do in this article and the next one in the following article.

 

The potato osmosis experiment

 

This is what you’ll need:

 

* One large potato

* A ruler

* A chopping board

* A peeler

* A knife

* A teaspoon

* Two shallow dishes

* Water

* Sugar

 

This is what you need to do for this science fair project: (Please be careful with the peeler and knife, smaller children should let an adult help.)

 

1. Carefully peel your potato on your chopping board.

2. Now you have to cut the potato in half.

3. Slice of the rounded part of both halves so that you have a potato that can lie stable in    your dish.

4. With your teaspoon you now have to scoop out a hollow in each potato half.

5. Now you have to place each potato half in a shallow dish.

6. Fill your shallow bowls with about ½ inch of water.

7. Now you also have to fill each hollow, in each potato, half full with water.

8. To one hollow you now have to add about ½ a teaspoon sugar.

9. Cover your potatoes and leave them for one day.

10. After a day you can make your observations.

11. What has happened?

12. Is the levels of water in both hollows still the same?

13. If not, what is the difference?

14. Why do you think it has happened?

15. Does the higher concentration of the sugary water have anything to do with what has happened?

 

This experiment shows us how osmosis works. If we think about our trees again; the water inside the roots has a higher concentration of sugar as the water on the outside. Through the process of osmosis the tree draws water from the soil, where the concentration is lower, to the inside of the roots, where the concentration is higher, and that is how the tree pumps the water from the soil to the leaves at the top.

Hi Everyone,

Here is a really fun science activity for you. Little kids will be able to do it with a little help from an adult.

A Fun Science Activity Simulating The Phases Of The Moon

The moon circles around the earth and the journey takes about a month. The moon does not have any light of its own and we only see the moon because of light from the sun reflecting from it. As the moon circles the earth the sunlight illuminates different parts of the moon. This is why the moon seems to take on different shapes or “Phases” during the month. When it is full moon the moon is completely lit up and it happens only once a month.

What we are going to do is simulate it and see why it happens.

This is what you’ll need:

• A football (soccer ball) or beach ball
• Glue
• Glue Brush
• A glass
• Silver paper or foil
• A pair of scissors
• Reusable adhesive
• A torch
• A friend to do this project with

This is what you need to do:

1. Do this project in a room that can be darkened.
2. Wash and dry the ball thoroughly.
3. Now you have to paint glue all over the ball.
4. Rest it on a small bowl to keep it still.
5. Now you have to cut silver paper or foil into large square sheets.
6. Whilst trying to keep the paper as smooth as possible, wrap up the ball in the paper.
7. This now represents your moon.
8. Place a small piece of reusable adhesive under the ball (your moon.)
9. Place your moon on a table, with the adhesive keeping it in place and preventing it from rolling of the table.
10. Now is where the friend comes into the picture.
11. Let your friend stand at the one end of the table and shine the torch with a strong beam on your moon.
12. Now you have to go and stand at the opposite side of the table.
13. With the main lights out, look at your moon.
14. Now you have to gradually move around the table whilst still looking at your moon.
15. The moon is still being lit up on the one side by the torch.
16. You will see the different shapes it takes.
17. These shapes represent the different phases of the moon.
18. Can you name the phases?
19. Try to illustrate the phases for your project.

In this project your “moon” kept still and you moved around it. This was only to let you see the effect. In real life, of course, the moon circles around the earth whilst the earth circles around the sun. Try and explain why that has the same effect on the appearance of the moon as your circling your “moon,”

To do a really winning Science Fair Project you need to know what the correct scientific method is. You also need to know how to do a good science fair project and the steps you need to take. You also need to know how to make your hypothesis and how to record your findings correctly. To make sure you are on the correct path I recommend Super Science Fair Projects E-Book.
