Fallacy202 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yes yes I know. This has been posted too many times, but after doing a search of the forums I still haven't found a satisfactory experiment for a science fair. I am a 10th grade student. I'm mostly interested in chemistry and physics experiments, as well as engineering. Financial-wise, I can spend about $500. The project has to be an experiment, and I'd like to do a particularly difficult one, if possible (but not TOO dangerous). Any ideas? Thanx a lot!

thorN Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 How old is 10th grade? What topics have you covered? In terms of sterling, £285.070 is gonna buy you a lot of LASER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy202 Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 10th grade = 15 - 16 years old. Topics I don't mind, as long as they are within my categories, are manageable, and are not too deadly. If I feel that a topic is too advanced I'll try my best to understand it by researching.

thorN Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 That sort of freedom is awsome. Does the school give you the funds? We're doing "practicals" for A-level (17-18 y/o) that is one fixed project Does a Science Fair mean it'll be a competition (like on the Simpsons)?

ecoli Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I feel sorry for non-americans, who have little experiance with science competitions. It's quite big business in the US... the first prize for the Intel Science Talent search is $100,000. There are other competitions with similar prizes. Not only that, these competitions have stimulated me, as well as many others, to enter the field of science research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy202 Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 yes yes. So, any ideas for the project/experiment?? Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Your best bet is to read some papers on subjects that you're interested in and do some sort of follow-up or related experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
