Science Project Experiment Ideas

By Janice VanCleave

Astronomy

1. What effect does time have on moon phases?  MOON PHASES

Clues: For as many days as possible, make observations of the Moon as often as possible. Record the date and time of each observation as well as diagrams showing the appearance of the Moon. Photos would provide more accurate data for comparisons.

2. What effect does time have on the Moon’s position in the sky?  MOON MOTION

Clues: Using the horizon and the ecliptic (the Moon’s apparent path across the sky), describe the position of the Moon after specific amounts of time. You can do this during the night or even during the day. Make sure that during  daytime observations YOU DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN. IT COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR EYES.

Chemistry

1. Popping Corn

What effect does the brand of popcorn have on the amount of unpopped kernels?
