Hey. I'm new here. I am in 8th grade science, and my teacher assigned a topic for each student to research and make a project on. None of us in the class know anything about the topics. I received Superconductors.
I have to answer 4 questions:
1) What was the scientific question they were asking?
2)What did the scientists think before?
3) How did they make their discovery?
4) How did their discovery change what other scientists did or thought?
For 1, I am pretty sure that the question was: What happens to mercury when it is cooled to super low temperatures.
For 2, I cannot find anything about what scientists thought before.
For 3, I can find this info on my own
For 4, I may need a little help.
I am not asking for whole answers, but just a little push in the right direction; Especially for #2. Also, I need to site every source. Wikipedia is not allowed.
Thanks
