Examples Of Science Fair Projects: Making A Delta Science Fair Project

In one of our previous examples of science fair projects we have taken a look at the destructive power of water. Now in this easy science fair project we are going to simulate the forming of a delta.

What you will need for this example of a science fair project:

• A large, long plastic container with a border of about 6 inches deep
• Sand
• A trowel
• A large jug of water
• A brick
• A note book
• A camera

How to do your experiment:

1. Fill the plastic container with sand until you have a layer of sand that is about 3 inches thick.
2. Flatten the sand until it is smooth.
3. Now you place the one side of your container on a brick to form a slope.
4. Take your water and pour it in a stream on to the sand in the middle of the higher end of the container.
5. Continue pouring until the water gradually starts to wash away a path trough the sand.
6. What happens to the sand that washes away in this way?
7. Why does it happen?
8. Make notes of your observations and take photos.

If you have done this correctly the sand that has been washed away by the water gets deposited in the lower region of the container and forms a delta. This is then a model of how a delta forms in nature.

This example of a science fair project covers the experiment self. For a winning science fair project though, you have to follow the scientific method.

The scientific method consists of:

1. Formulating the problem or purpose of the experiment
2. Formulating a hypothesis
3. Doing the experiment
4. Formulating the conclusion

To help you with this I can recommend a very good science fair project e-book called 24 Hour Science Projects. In this e-book you will find complete science fair projects from hypothesis to conclusion that can be done in 24 hours or less. Some of these experiments can even be done in an hour. The examples of science fair projects you find in 24 Hour Science Fair Projects will solve all your science fair problems.

Hi Everyone,

Here is another fun and easy elementary science project for you:

Easy Elementary Science Projects: The Growth Of molds (Fungi)

Lemon Penicillin Project

Easy Elementary Science Projects can help little kids learn about science in a fun way. This is very good preparations for a future good science fair project. We are doing a series of experiments on different places that you can finally combine to do a really stunning science fair project. The idea is that you build it up little by little over time.

Here are the links to other articles that look at decay and how organic materials are broken down in nature:

Bread mould project 1

Bread mould project 2

Rotting vegetables

Earthworms

Yeast experiment

How to do a good science fair project (so you know how a winning project should be done)

Now for today's easy elementary science project

What you need for this project:

• 2 Empty and clean containers, big enough for a lemon to fit in
• Wrapping plastic
• 2 Lemons
• Water
• A magnifying glass
• A note book
• Pen
• Camera
• Kitchen towel

How to do your experiment:

1. Line one container with your kitchen towel. The reason you do this is to keep the lemon you are going to place in it dry.
2. Place a lemon in each container
3. One container you leave as it is (this will be your control)
4. In the other container add a few drops of water.
5. Now you have to cover this container very well with the plastic wrapping.
6. Store this one in a warm dark place for about a week.
7. Place your control in a room with normal temperature and lighting.
8. After a week take out your lemon and look at it with your magnifying glass. Do not touch the mold or breathe it in as you may be allergic to it.
9. What do you see?
10. How does this lemon compare to your control?
11. Make notes and for your display, take photos.
12. When you are finished with your lemons, dump them in a rubbish bin and wash your hands.

Hi Everyone,

The GREEN dot project! Enjoy.

Easy Elementary Science Projects: Let's learn a little more about colors - What Is Green?

Is Green simply Green? This is one of our easy elementary Science Projects that are there for some fun learning, especially for homeschoolers. Let's see what green is made up off.

For our fun kids crafts using this principle visit Fun Kids Crafts.

What you need for this experiment:

• 1 Coffee filter cut into strips
• A green felt tipped pen
• An orange felt tipped pen
• A jar with about 1" water
• 2 Clothes pegs

How to do this project:

1. Make a large green spot on one of the strips, about 2" from the one end of the strip.
2. Do the same with orange.
3. Hang both strips in the jar, secured to the side by a clothes peg, and make sure that your spot is above the water with the bottom of the strip hanging in the water.
4. Let it stand for about half an hour.
5. Make your observations.
6. What has happened?
7. Why did it happen?
8. Did the same happen for both strips?

Well I'll tell you what happens to the green strip and then you can do it and in the comments tell me what happens to the orange strip, OK?

The green spot is gone, above the original spot the paper has turned blue and above that the strip has turned yellow. Do you have any idea why first the blue and then the yellow?

As the water dissolves the ink, it moves up. Because the two colors does not move at the same rate, they separate.

Let me know what has happened with the orange and do have a look at the craft on Fun Kids Crafts.

Enjoy your day,

Jacob

Hi Everyone,

Another "eggy" one for you. Go through our site and have alook at all the experiments you can do with eggs. This one is a variation on the one we have for you on our page "Easy Projects"

We have many fun, easy elementary science projects involving eggs. It is amazing how much you can learn from experiments with eggs. In this experiment we are once again see how vinegar dissolves the shell but in a very fun and visual way.

What you need for this experiment:

• 1 Glass jar, big enough for the egg to fit in
• 1 hard boiled egg
• Wax crayons
• Vinegar

How to do this craft:

1. With the wax crayons, draw a picture on the egg. Be careful not to break the shell.
2. Place the egg in the jar and completely cover it with the vinegar.
3. Now you leave it for several hours.
4. Carefully dump the vinegar and cover the egg with fresh vinegar and let it stand for a few hours again.
5. Remove your egg from the jar and carefully wash the vinegar and the wax from the egg. Remember the shell will be very fragile so work carefully.
6. What has happened?
7. Do you know why it happened?

What should have happened is that the acid from the vinegar combined with the calcium carbonate of the shell of the egg and it would have dissolved most of the shell. Where the painting of the wax crayons were though, the wax protected the shell from the vinegar and your drawing should still be clearly visible.

As you may have noticed we have been doing many different experiments using eggs. If you combine these, with proper notes, a good display etc. they can make a pretty good elementary science fair project. The problem is that it will take time and time is not something we have most of the time. If you do not want your home to be taken over by a science experiment for a long time, I suggest you get a good science fair projects e-book such as 24 Hours Science Projects. This e-book has complete science fair projects that can be done in 24 hours or less.

Hi Everyone,

I think the results of this elementary science fair project is going to horrify you! We all have to do what we can to stop oil pollution.

Easy Elementary Science Projects: Eggs and Pollution

This is one of our easy elementary science projects to show the effect of oil pollution on sea life. (On all aquatic life.) It is horrifying to see what oil is capable of doing and this experiment will show the kids that all the worrying about oil spills in the sea is not exaggerated and that it in fact has devastating results. This easy elementary science project is also very suitable for homeschoolers.

What you need for this experiment:

• 4 Hard boiled eggs
• 4 Sealable plastic bags
• Water
• Food coloring
• Motor oil or other wise olive oil as a substitute
• Felt marker
• A watch or a timer
• Some masking tape

What to do:

1. Take your 4 bags and mark them 1, 2, 3 and 4.
2. Now you fill each bag with ½ Cup of water and ½ Cup of your oil.
3. Drop a few drops of food coloring into each bag, mix it well with the oil.
4. Take your hard boiled eggs and place them in the bag.
5. Now you remove the eggs from the bag as follows:
a. #1 after fifteen minutes
b. #2 after half an hour
c. #3 after an hour
d. #4 after two hours

6. Each time you have removed the egg from the bag, carefully peel the shell off the egg.
7. Write Down your observations.
8. You will notice that the longer the egg stayed in the oil, the more oil got inside the shell of the egg. (The food coloring makes it easy for you to see that.)
9. Remember to make accurate notes of everything you do and it is best if you also take photos of the results for your display.

Doing Elementary science fair projects need not be a problem. There are tremendous e-books available that gives you all the ideas and information you need. I find 24 Hours Science Projects very good as it gives you complete experiments from hypothesis to conclusion that can be done in 24 hours or less. This is important because it prevents your home from being taken over by the project for months on end.
