VanCleave's Science Fun

Your Guide to Science Projects, Fun Experiments, and Science Research

ABOUT THE SOUND PICTURE

With mouth wide open, vibrating air coming up the throat from the vocal chords leaving the open mouth and spreading in all directions. Hi, I am Janice VanCleave, author of 50+ best-selling science experiment books for children ages 4 through high school. I taught science for 27 years and now am creating this science website.   My scream was not staged. The picture was to be of two adult cats, which I was holding. A microsecond before the camera snapped, the two cats dug their claws into my skin as they prepared to leap out of my arms. A picture like this is great for making inferences. Kids could make "guesses" as to why I am screaming. They would be drawing on facts from the photo, such as I look like I am in pain or maybe I am just pretending.

Project Topics: How to Use Astronomy Facts to Develop a Science Fair Project

More Astronomy Science Project Ideas

Insolation : This link provides information about insolation only, but you could easily design an investigation in which you would mathematically compare insolation for solar-rays at different angle, and then design an investigation to experimentally measure the insolation. Percent error for the investigation could be calculated using the math calculations as the standard.

Biology

DNA Extraction Index : This link provides a list of different investigations and research material about extracting DNA.

Oxidation of a Sliced Apple : This links to research about the browning of a sliced apple. Tips for a project are given in the related topics.

Chemistry

Crystal Formation :  Knowing about crystals could help in designing a crystal project.
