The project looks at the oil content in different types of algae by comparing the surface beading of water droplets on the algal surfaces. The goal is to have the student formulate, test and, if neces ...
Standard deviation is a statistic that tells you how closely a group of numbers (for example, temperatures) are clustered around a mean value (average temperature). When the standard deviation is smal ...
The project is about measuring the effectiveness of a detergent containing a UV-absorbing compound in blocking UV-A radiation.The goal is to have the student conduct a controlled experiment to test cl ...
People use a variety of techniques to deal with pain or discomfort. Common pain management techniques include listening to music, massage, and deep breathing. This experiment will evaluate how well th ...
Cold water is denser than warm water. Water with a high salt concentration (salinity) is denser than water that has a lower salt concentration. Warmwater rises above densercolder water, and bodies of ...
Most plastics are not readily biodegradeable, especially when buried in the ground away from sources of oxygen. Many can be decomposed partially by photodecomposition in the presence of sunlight, howe ...
Soil temperature varies from one month to the next depending upon such factors as solar radiation, rainfall, seasonal swings in overhead air temperature, plant cover, soil type, and depth in the earth ...
Magnets are sometimes used as therapeutics to help ease the pain of arthritis or injury, but it is not clear if they provide any benefit for users. Some scientific studies indicate that magnets may he ...
This project will look at how fabrics block UV radiation by examining how fabric thickness, tightness of weave, weight, type of fiber, and color influence the transmission of UV radiation. The goal is ...
Amphibian populations are in global decline. Because the skin of amphibians like frogs, toads and salamanders is extremely sensitive to environmental changes, there has been much speculation that the ...
