  1. Science and Math Miniproject(MWITS #21) August – September / 2011

  2. 40 points for MiniProject • Chapter 1 & 2 Introduction 8 and Literature Review • Chapter 3 Materials and Method 4 • Chapter 4 Result 4 • Chapter 5 Conclusion and Discussion 6 Oral Presentation 8 Final Project Paper 10

  3. How to get the ideas? • What are you interested on? • What you and your friends the same interested? • What things you doubt? • What phenomenon you don’t know its cause?

  4. Do What you Like • If you're stuck, you're probably spending most of your 'thought time' on the fact that you don't have good science fair project ideas in mind! Relax - the best way to come up with ideas is to think about what you like. What do we mean by that?

  5. Ask Yourself Questions • There are, of course, many more aspects of a simple egg that could be the basis of an experiment: • Why is it shaped the way it is? • What is the shell made out of? • What happens if it's subject to a chemical change, like being submerged in vinegar for a long time? All of these questions will lead to interesting Science fair project ideas in their own right if taken far enough. • Ask enough questions

  6. Science fair project ideas come from asking questions about how things work, or why they are the way they are, and then applying the scientific method to get real and useful information.  Ever wondered how tornados worked?  You might like doing a tornado science project.

  7. What is this made of? • How did it form? • What can this be used for? • Is this created by a natural process or by humans? • Why is it this particular color/texture? • Does it float or sink? Why?

  8. Branches of Science • Physics • Chemistry • Earth Science • Biology • Anatomy • Botany • Entomology • Evolution • Genetics • Marine Biology • Mathematics • Engineering • Robot • Computer • Social Science

  9. Website to help you get the ideas: http://chemistry.about.com/od/sciencefairprojects/a/sciprohigh.htm • Can a black light detect invisible stains? • What type of plastic wrap prevents evaporation the best? • What plastic wrap prevents oxidation the best? • Are night insects attracted to lamps because of heat or light? • What type of car antifreeze is safest to the environment? • Do different brands of orange juice contain different levels of vitamin C?

  10. http://chemistry.about.com/od/sciencefairprojects/a/sciprohigh.htmhttp://chemistry.about.com/od/sciencefairprojects/a/sciprohigh.htm • Does the level of vitamin C in orange juice change over time? • How effective are natural mosquito repellents? • Does magnetism affect the growth of plants? • Do oranges gain or lose vitamin C after being picked? • How does the sugar concentration vary in different brands of apple juices? • Does storage temperature affect the pH of juice? • Does the presence of cigarette smoke affect the growth rate of plants? • Does eating breakfast have an effect on school performance? Does it matter what you eat?
