    I don't know why I'm here cause I'm a senior but the best science fair project I ever did was to see how many people made a rolling stop as opposed to a full stop at a stop sign. I went to the police station for statistics on how long a legal stop should be. I then timed every stop and recorded them. It also included whether off duty ambulances or senior resident trucks or even what type of vehicles made rolling stops. Obviously almost every car, including senior resident vehicles made rolling stops. Best science fair project I ever did. I even went to different stop signs to see if the environment would effect it but it still didn't change :)

      I had a science fair in 9th grade and I tested out which material blocked out WiFi the most. I did this by testing out many different materials such as different metals, foil, and even paper, and I covered the machine that gives you WiFi. We looked at the data of WiFi by how much it has, and in the end, foil was the winner.

Just really wanted to say thank you for your advice - she worked so hard on her project and making it to the next level validated all her time efforts and ideas. thanks for your channel and thanks for keeping it basic.... she watched your videos over and over and over.

    You can also film a stopwatch to get rid of the stopwatch error.
    Start the stopwatch. Put it in the frame. Drop the ball. Now, you can go back and see what the stopwatch shows when you drop the ball. You can read it to the .01 seconds which is quite precise.

    In 6th grade, I won science fair with “Is there sound in space” it was super fun to do. I did this by putting a speaker into jar and playing a tone. I then used a pump I made to suck as much air out of the jar as I could creating as much of a vacuum as I could because space is a vacuum. I then measured the amount of sound coming from the speaker in the jar with a earbud microphone and a cellphone app. The judges were pretty impressed!

    I got first place on my 5th grade science fair because my experiment was “What Water Makes The Plants Grow Better?” I used bottled water, my home tap water, and the water that came out of the school water fountain. I got 3 of the same plant, added no fertilizer, and cut the plants so they where all the same hight, I got my water and brought the samples to the local pool store for testing and found out the different levels of things inside the water. I came up with the idea on my own because my dad told me that pool water will kill plants so I was like “woah! What water can also kill them or help them grow?” Based on my tests my home tap water made them grow the best due to the natural minerals in our water supply, then the bottle water, and the school tap water made it grow but not a lot. After winning a lot of kids stopped drinking from the school water fountain...

    @SchwerMetall154 5 лет назад +19

    Of the three science fairs I participated in as a kid, I won 1st place the first and third years (I got 3rd place my second year).
    If someone wants to use them and/or expand upon them, feel free; these experiments were done a decade or so ago.
    For my first year, I tested the body's reaction of different caffeinated drinks like different types of coffee, Monster, Red Bull, and Rockstar to see which would wake up a sleepy person up the quickest. I actually ended up contacting some of the brands and I ended up with some swag (shout out to Monster Energy for sending me stickers, a shirt, and cap over a decade ago). I compared this by taking the resting blood pressure of me, my mom, dad, and sibling, then having them drink the beverages and taking their blood pressure every 10 minutes for the next hour. From my experiment the answer was Red Bull for having the highest impact in 10 minutes, though by 20 minutes they each evened out until the 40 minute mark when Monster was the longest to cause higher blood pressure and keep the blood pumping for longer. However, while comparing the amount of caffeine in each drink relative to its volume in fluid ounces, Red Bull still beat out having the least caffeine by volume to wake up a person the quickest. Personally as an adult these days, I still drink coffee.
    For my third year, with Deepwater Horizon being a recent event, I chose to do my experiment about which type of material would be the best to clean up oil in different types of water environments. I went around town collecting types of human hair (barbers and salons), dog hair (groomers and vets), cat hair (same a dogs), hays (ranchers), cottons (farmers and stores), wools (same as cottons), etc. I would mix oil in large Tupperware containers with fresh water, salt water, sand-water mixture (as what one would find closer to shore), and purely because my brother was working on A/V sites, distilled water. I would measure the thickness of water concentration by simply fishing about the samples with a Popsicle stick relative to the time of which the subjects remained in the water from 10 minutes to 2 hours. Cotton was the clear winner with most of the oil being contained in the material and the water being the clearest by the 2 hour mark. The lowest was straw, pretty much because it's dried out grass for the sake of grazing livestock, but man if that extra metric of data can be added I say 'do it.'
    As for my second year, I don't remember and haven't yet found my old binder with the data. In honesty I actually won fourth but the guy who won third forfeited due to health reasons and thus everyone got scooted up. I pretty much just remember hearing the news, everyone congratulating me, and then I left the room to cry because I didn't win first place and feared that my parents would reprimand me to the rest of the family when I got home. Childhood trauma's a bad way to go through life, don't ever needlessly berate your kids.
    Anyway, science is interesting and at times very fun. Though I ended up not going that route in the end, if you enjoy it or find it intriguing, don't let anyone else harsh your dreams. Either that or any of the other STEM classes... or the liberal arts... or business... or medicine... or the fine arts...
    ...actually just do whatever you feel passionate about and spread the knowledge.

    Y’know how kids are obsessed with soap bubbles in the sink? Well my sister did an experiment where she took several brands of dish soap in small containers and measured the height, coverage, and overall appearance of the suds over time so that you can know which are the best for bubble Santa beards. This was years ago, but it got her first place.

      That’s why he made this exact video, it’s to level the playing field for kids who don’t have access to a highly educated parent. All you need is an internet connection and a few minutes to watch this video. With that, a little creativity, and a willingness to put in effort, you can totally succeed. I won quite a few science fairs as a kid in the 90s, and it always bugged me how a lot of that was down to my dad being a high level government physicist. It wasn’t fair to the other kids because I had an obvious advantage, but it also wasn’t fair to me because most people refused to believe I did all the work myself. Now that the internet is so ubiquitous, the playing field is at least a bit flatter. Of course it will never be totally flat since my parents’ values turned me onto science basically before I could talk, but at least now no one can say they lost because they couldn’t come up with an idea. That said they couldn’t get my brothers to do anything other than a baking soda volcano for love or money. Anyway congrats on your win, that’s super awesome.

    I just recently heard that my old grade school decided to end their annual 8th Grade Science Fair. Apparently, my grade was the last one to ever do it. I'm well past 8th grade, but it makes me so mad that schools are limiting the creative ability of children. Children can be super creative at times- sometimes offering the best solution to a problem many adults are struggling at. However, more and more people aren't allowing them to express themselves. Instead, they drown them in hours of repetitive homework they don't want to do. If you want kids to succeed, allow them to do interesting, engaging, and meaningful things. Worksheets and lectures are boring for everyone.

      @WGSMRW 7 лет назад +4

      Bryan Vaz That's just as bad in my opinion. I think kids should be shown how science can benefit them and then let them go to the fairs and make experiments on their own time. For instance, tell a kid, "Do you want to know why you get sick and why it hurts and how medicine helps that and how you can make it feel better?" I bet you if you ask a kid that while they are sick they will tell you that they would. Or, tell them that with science, they can be better than all they're friends at something like... I don't know... Rock, paper, scissors. ↑↑↑. I'm a senior in highschool and I always fell behind in my grades in middle school and into highschool because I was never interested in what we were doing. If teachers let the kids pick what they want to learn about then kids would be pay so much more attention in class because it's relatable to them. They can see how, with science and the other fundamentals, they can enrich their lives and others now and in the future.

    I got second place at a science fair measuring which type of roller coaster was the most stressful to ride. I went to a bunch of different amusement parks over the summer and brought a blood pressure monitor which I used on my dad (I was too small at the time for it to work) to measure his blood pressure after each ride. We waited at least a certain amount of time between rides to ensure his blood pressure returned to normal levels before measuring again, and sorted each roller coaster we rode into a different category. In the end, we concluded “lay down roller coasters” (which in the experiment was a Vakoma Flying Dutchman) were the most stressful. However, part of the post-experiment analysis was a mention of physical stress, the stress the ride puts on your body, verses psychological stress, the stress you get from fear,since my dad was most scared to ride lay down roller coasters, there may have been some error in the results obtained. As a huge roller coaster enthusiast, I had an absolute blast doing the experiment and I thought the end product was really great given I was somewhere between the second and fourth grade at the time.

    The most important thing about really hooking your kids with these science projects is that it will teach them to think outside of the box and develop their problem solving skills. And this would help them much more in life than anything else. Cause it's not only about asking the questions, it's the way to test it and prove it or disprove it. Us people, we are not just born smart and wait for the moment to show it. Guys like Mark got NASA smart not by being born that way. He got hooked on science and learnt his brain to follow the scientific footprints and clues. Like a crime scene investigator but for science questions. And if you nudge your kid into science and he turns out have the potential 20-30 years later he'd be either a great scientist or a notorious criminal, because that's where most people with the highest IQ and up.

This guy thought about it and then went to the bottom of the recently emptied rubbish bin. He won by an absolute MILE, because while the toilets are cleaned regularly, the rubbish bins aren’t. They’re emptied, but not cleaned or sterilised to anywhere near the extent that the toilets are. Heck, your phone probably has more bacteria growing on it than that toilet. And the fact that I just thought of that while writing this on my phone makes me want to reach for a wet wipe or something XP

    I would A. Do the classic volcano trick with a twist: Inside the volcano are some nichrome wires that are plugged to a wall alongside some gunpowder, potassium chlorate, sugar, baking soda and some dark grey dye powder. When the nichrome wires are heated up the gunpowder explodes and all the other ingredients start to make a dark grey cloud of smoke making an almost oerfect volcano effect. Maybe add in some coal.
    B. The power of frost! Mix rubbing alcohol and dry ice to make a -110° Fahrenheit liquid. Cold enough to cause permanent damage but not cold enough to instantly evaporate when touching you.
    C. How does bacteria react to extremly cold liquids?
    D. How much salt should you put on your fries?
    E. How your favorite condiments are made.

    This is one that I did WY back in 1998 and didn't win but I think is actually more relevant today (I was just ahead of my time haha):
    People react to sounds much differently than they do sights, smells, etc. Each sense creates a different reaction. For example: If you see a cat, you want to pet it cause it's cute! If you touch a cat (without seeing it of course) you may be weirded out at first cause you don't know what it i. If you hear a cat, your first instinct is fear.
    So my project was to test which object had the most diverse reactions and which objects had the least diverse. This was before cell phones so recreating a cat meowing didn't go over so well but now you can record these sounds and use them in the experiments! I won't give away the results but some of the things I tested were: 1) A man laughing. 2) A cat. 3) A dinner bell. 4) Shrimp chips. 5) An osculating fan.
    There are sooo many new things in the world since 20 years ago that will have all sorts of new reactions. If you do this with different technologies, movie characters, etc you can find some really fun results!

    1. First my little bro asked me he wanted to make a bubble solution since his ran out. Then I'm like, "Hey! I can do this for a science fair!"
    2. So we measure the ph of the water used and the glycerin and other stuff in a bubble solution.
    3. Next we make a chart with the observations with the measurements and possible changes.
    4. Next we make Hypothesis for different combinations/solutions.
    5. Finally, we experiment and write down the observations while blowing bubbles.
    6. Then write the best solutions in different cases like which solutions make bubbles large or pop after the most time.
    7. Lastly we write down the best solutions.
    This is an Idea so i'm not sure if i'm correct or not, but it's worth a shot, right?

We put a layer of sand so it made a mark where it landed, because sometimes it would bounce. If you can find objects that are the same surface area (at least roughly) you can get good results.
    In the end, the kid can learn F = ma, and other equations. If they know algebra, you could do "basic" calculations to find out how much force your catapult exerts on the objects. But that depends on how much they know already. At the very least, it's really fun, and can give a good introduction to a lot of Newtonian physics.

      TheMadVillager Minecraft F=MA has nothing to do with that

    • @TheMadVillagerMinecraft
      @TheMadVillagerMinecraft 7 лет назад

      It shows that assuming force is the same every trial (as our catapult was a controlled variable), then the acceleration of the rock and the mass of the rock are inversely related. (F=MA -> F/M = A) That means that the heavier the rock, the less acceleration it will have and thus fly a shorter distance. If you want to actually calculate that distance, you need more equations, but I wouldn't say F=MA has nothing to do with that.
      What equations would you use with this experiment?

      I did the same topic with a very different experiment in the 8th grade. I wrote a program that rapidly filled a screen with a repeated sentence over and over: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. Hidden in one message was something like "Choose B". Followed by a survey to choose from A, B, C, D, or E and then collected the results. It worked amazingly well with close to 70% of the subjects choosing the suggested letter.

    • @lifetake3103
      @lifetake3103 7 лет назад +1

      how actually well was that message hidden? As if it is obviously shown anyone can see that if the suggestion was on the screen for a frame running at 60 to 120 fps. While a hidden message can be seen at less than 100 fps. A subliminal message is one no one can perceive ever like how this guy put the sound below audible levels. However, your experiment may have just tested peoples ability to see things at a certain frame per second.

    • @pocketmnky
      @pocketmnky 7 лет назад +3

      lifetake Not true actually. What my experiment sought to test was whether or not a message could be perceived superliminally but still have a subliminal effect if it bypassed the conscious awareness of the mind. The message had to be very basic and tied directly to the test. Like we could have a person prefer the letter B but we couldn't make them call their mother or rob a bank. In fact, one finding we came across was that if you even consciously suspect that there is a subliminal message present, it reduced the effectiveness of the message dramatically; almost to random. But to answer your question, if pointed out, the message was indeed visible if you knew where/how/when to look for it, but it was probably almost too fast to read the message fully without seeing it many times. The key is that your superliminal brain IS seeing it many times even if your consciousness cannot pin it down.

It is a hobby bench at best. Any decent work bench at least has a bench vise. I'm not even saying every guy needs something like a 150+ pound badass vintage vise from a brand like Reed, Rock Island, Columbian, Athol, or Charles Parker, but they should at least have a bench vise of some sort.

      Roy Allen that's debatable, I've been shooting my CZ82 for years and for years I thought it was shooting high and right. I got good groups every time so I was certain they were just off.
      My father shoots and he says the sights are bang on, and he's a much better shot than me. Turns out my trigger pull was bad, but it was so consistently bad it was predictable and thus accurate.
      Consistency is more important, there are a lot of famous point shooters who all shot with wildly different, wacky stances. They looked wrong, but because they were the same wrong every time they were very accurate and thus right.
      To be fair certain techniques lend themselves more to consistency, but like I always tell people, if you learned to do it the wrong way don't change unless it's not working. Though then you have to establish data that proves wether it works or not.

I ran a test with about 20 8th-graders, had them do one timed math test in silence and another timed test while they listened to their favorite music. I then calculated their scores. There was a lot of really difficult math that got put into that experiment, all about statistical analysis that I didn't completely understand, but the judges really appreciated the effort I had put in and how I forged my own idea on a topic I was interested in. I got a near perfect score :)
