Science, grrrr!!!!

[Jintor]

Damn it.

I need a science project to do, that is easily done within two weeks, can be done with common household materials, and will take up at least 4 pages.

Can you help me?

Please?

Volcano.

I have an English assignmnet to do, we where given the 3 weeks hoildays to it in, The frist week is in the Torrie Straight, and the other 2 weeks i have done jack all.
So i only have a weekend to do it, dam i hate doing assignments.

I made a space rocket out of a trash can, some tin foil and a motorcycle helmet, when I was 5, you could use tha.... oh, 'real' science.


Make a flamethrower from lighter and a spraycan.


No, a nuclear reactor!

Its not even that hard!

 

[Sulkdodds]

Modifiy a car so it can travel through time.

Or alternatively, clone dinosaurs.

 

[venturon]

Just don't skimp on the Jiggawatts.

 

[Murray_H]

An electrical device powered by citrus fruits?

Neutralising an acid with an alkali?

Eating a raw egg and shitting through the eye of a needle?

What level of science are you at?

 

[Mith']

Make a standard Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator..

 

[Harryz]

Laser rocket propelled pineapple?

 

[Ames]

Do something with games. Probably would be super-easy and take no longer than thirty minutes to end the experiment. Hard part is just the report.

Just make sure it's interesting. Or something.

Oh yesh.

 

[Lucid]

Mouse in a maze with cheese at the end.
Test the intelligence and problem solving skills of a house hold rodent!

 

[Cormeh]

Watch Under Siege for ideas.

 

[<RJMC>]

a real life manipulator

 

[Cole]

Test the intelligence and problem solving skills of a house hold rodent!

Test 2 house hold rodents, feed one some good food..another some bad food....no cheese. See what one can find cheese faster then! Or see what one tastes better.

How about do a study on animals which come into your garden. You could set up different condition in sections of the garden. e.g. dry, wet, dark, light or any specific to organisms you are studying. I am talking more about insects. You could check every day on their prefered locations and talk about limiting factors like temperature, pH, humidity, light intensity, food abundance, disturbance, water supply, competition from other organisms (like predator prey situations)

From this you can work out why the organism prefers those conditions and find out adaptations by doing some background research on the net. It could unearth relationships between organisms whereby the depend on each other, like mutualistic or parasitic relationships. Also with this you can work out biodiversity of an area and relate it to the conditions. (completely natural with plants or influenced by humans like patios).

You can do similar tests with 'choice chambers' in a lab, but if you did a real test in the wild with fully influencing real world factors like the weather it could show some interesting findings, and certainly take up 4 pages or many more if you are a decent biologist.

 

[SimonomiS]

Do this?

 

[ríomhaire]

Grow a mould!

 

[Shodan]

Build a PC!

Easy, and interesting, plus you get a new PC.

Year 9 (australian standard), meaning we're now learning about weird crap. Which is to say volcanoes. Somehow.

Anyway, i decided to test how acidic coke and other common household materials are by - guess what! - sticking a tooth in them. Maybe i'll run electricity through them....

don't. It hurts. I should know.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Attach a coil of wire to a high voltage output. From seeing this documentery, it should levitate (but also set on fire)

 

[SimonomiS]

don't. It hurts. I should know.

I think he means teeth taken out of your mouth...

I vaguely remember something about putting a tooth in Coke and watched it get worse each day. ..

both hurrt anyway, 110 volts or a tooth..

 

[Jintor]

Actually, i still have a bunch of my baby teeth. So i think i'll stick that in coke.

Ask your mum before you do it. Mums can be strange like that.....

Go for coke, orange juice, tomato sauce, water (as a control), milk, bleach, fire, kryptonite, the sun.

 

[nick_t]

why do you still have school?

 

[dream431ca]

Free Energy!!!

 

[kelvini]

do this,cut the back of...hmm..20 trash cans,bend 4 at an angle of 90 degrees,make them magenetic,make a atom accelerator and decelorator,put a vacuum sealed door,put the gas u wanna make inside,switch on the replica of the(well both the accelerator and decelerator)CERN antimatter maker,TADAA!!bring a kilo of anti-hydrogen to school in a capsule(make sure its magnetic or....boom?)show to your teacher and she will give u an A,kelvini's technology....

or..

make a mobile suit embedded tactical enforcer,put 2x 120cm high-energy beam cannon,2x 93.7cm high-energy beam cannon,2x MA-X200 beam sword,43x 77 x 60 cm "Erinaceus" anti-ship missile launchers,again,kelvini's technology

Sodium + Water = OMFG BOOM
Simple, fast and ****ing deadly. (Seriously, watch the **** out)

 

[Murray_H]

Who has solid sodium in their house?

And it's not really a boom, more of a fizzle. Chuck some caesium in there.....look ma! No hands/face!

One lad in the chemistry labs at uni had some sodium explode in his face (think it was reacted with acid). Sounded pretty nasty, got burnt quite badly I think
