Science Project Display
Your project display is a visual representation of all the work that you have done. It should consist of a backboard and anything else that supports your project, such as models, collections, exhibits or examples, photographs, surveys, and the like. Your display must tell the story of the project in such a way that it […]
Gravity
What is Gravity? How is Gravity Measured? Gravity is the force of attraction between two bodies due to their mass and distance from each other. The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects can be determined using the following equation: Newton’s Equation for the Force of Gravity F = G x m1 x […]
Science Project: Slime/Data
Step 8: Data For this Slime experiment, you will be recording the distance that each test sample of slime flows in a specific amount of time. You should test four or more slime samples from each Glue Viscosity. Determine the best way for your to record your data. For example, a sample data chart is […]
Moon Illusion
Question: Why does the Moon follow us everywhere we go? Answer: Sky watchers from the beginning of time have observed the presence of the Sun and Moon no matter where they travel. Early astronomers’ explanation of this phenomenon was that Earth is flat and has a dome over it. The dome acted as a background […]
Stellar Scintillation: Twinkling Stars
Science Project Idea Why Do Stars Twinkle? Facts What Do You Want to Find Out? Stars appear to twinkle because star-light refracts as it passes through Earth’s atmosphere. 1. What is light refraction? 2. What causes the star-light to refract? 3. Does the angle of the light affect how it might refract? 4. […]

Astronomy Science Project Ideas
Astronomy Astronomy is the study of celestial bodies, including asteroids, moons, planets, stars, and suns. Constellation is a common name for a group of stars that if linked by an imaginary line form a pattern. Ursa Major or what is commonly called the Big Bear is a constellation with stars forming the shape of bear. […]

Kids Want to Know:Flying Fish?
Notes from Janice’s Desk Kids often ask questions that adults don’t know the answers to, but are as interested in knowing the answers. For example: Can fish really fly? Actually, what are called flying fish are fish with a streamlined torpedo shape which helps them gather enough underwater speed to break the surface, and their […]
