There is something else they all had in common that set them besides the other wise people of their time- their ability to ask inquiries.

Actually, Sir Isaac Newton needed to develop a brand-new branch of mathematics (calculus) just to solve the issues he was attempting to perform in physics. Sometimes they also taught themselves the majority of what they knew about their certain subject. Just what do all these people share? Well, for one point, they're all very smart.

I would like to ask you a question: exactly what is required to be a wonderful scientist? Think about one of the most popular researchers you understand- Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Pierre as well as Marie Curie, Stephen Hawking, and so forth. Rhys Baker (author) from Peterborough, UK on February 08, oldandwise & perspycacious: Thank you so much for passing on my ideas.Welcome to Science Fair Projects. I think 'Arts and Science' have always been married to each other!! :) Words cocktail from Australia on February 10, 2012: just keep in mind not everyone will like your work but you just need to minus all of them out of your head. its great! keep up the good work and you will get far with your web site wor and posting work. i like the fact that they are all very well hands on. These are great things for students to do for labs also. This will keep her amused for hours, thanks! My 12 year-old will love this! She’s done a few of these experiments, but there’s plenty here for her to try. Great ideas! My girls are too young for some of them, but as parents we love to play and it might spark some thoughts about how our world works with their little minds! I'm loving the rainbow in a glass, I may be trying that one soon for some of our color experiments! Mary Juett from Omaha, NE on July 19, 2012: Have them keep a journal or log of their observations over several weeks, writing down in detail what they do to the plant and what they see.Īwesome ideas! I enjoy a good read over some small science experiments! I leave this to your imagination! Try growing flowers, tomatoes, herbs, anything! This will teach responsibility as well as open up avenues for different experiments (light levels, fertiliser levels, different places in the home, time of watering, regularity of watering) and allows children to develop their observation skills. Next? To form the sculptures you need a metal tray scattered with a thin layer of sodium acetate powder to act as a nucleation site. Remember, all freezing is is changing from a liquid to a solid - it doesn't have to be cold for this to happen What's Happening? This is another example of supercooling, but with a liquid that freezes above 0. Feel the outside of the container - it should feel warm to the touch. Touch it and watch the mixture instantly freeze. (Keep any undissolved crystals for later) Put this into the fridge for an hour to cool it. Now pour this mixture into a glass, making sure not to let any undissolved gel into the glass. Unlike water and oil, however, once you mix the layers, they will not settle back. The greater the difference in density, the longer the effect lasts. Eventually, due to particle dynamics, the layers will mix. As you are layering them with the heaviest at the bottom, the different layers will 'sit' on top of each other. What's Happening? The different amounts of sugar in water create different densities of water. If you have done this right you should get something like the picture. When you have filled the glass to about the same width as the last layer, repeat with glass two, and then with glass one. The more slowly you do this, the better the results. You can put a teaspoon just above the first layer and pour the mixture gently over the back of the spoon to minimise splash. You must pour the next layer (glass three) so gently that it doesn't mix with the first layer. Now add a different colour foodcolouring to each glass. Add one tablespoon of sugar to glass one, two to glass two, three to glass three, four to glass four. What to Do: Line up the glasses and put 3 tablespoons of water into the first four glasses.
