This project investigates how to determine the speed of earth’s rotation. Using simple protractors and meter sticks the goal for this experiment is to measure the rate of angular change as the earth r ...
What’s going on in your garden? Study different areas of your backyard to see which is the most diverse.Compare the biodiversity in a square of lawn, forest, and home garden. Which one has the largest ...
A climate is the average weather pattern and environmental conditions in a region. Within climates are smaller areas of differing conditions. These are referred to as microclimates. Microclimates play ...
The water cycle describes the flow of water on Earth. The biggest stock of water on Earth is in the oceans. While there are many small processes in the water cycle that help water get from one place t ...
The goal of these experiments is to learn about how temperature affects density – and how in turn this affects affect the behavior of gases. Students will consider the meteorological implications of w ...
Soils are extremely important parts of every ecosystem. They are a home to many microbes and provide vital nutrients to the plants that live in them. pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a so ...
You might notice that winter forecasts of a foot or more snow are fairly common. This is very different from rain forecasts. Even in rainy areas, single rainstorms that top five inches are unusual. If ...
ObjectiveIn many parts of the country, it seems that the weather is always changing. Where does this weather come from? Can you predict the weather for where you live by looking at what the weather is ...
Anemometers are apparatuses used to accurately measure wind speed. Anemometers have been used to take measurements for centuries, with the first known description dating to the 1400’s in Europe (thoug ...
The purpose of this science project was to find the correlation between barometric pressure and wind velocity. I did this by recording the wind velocity in rotations per minute by using an anemometer. ...
