science fair

[Angrycowgoesmoo]

Okay so my little brother's school is having this science fair and he asked me what he should do for it. He told me the rules were it has to be with life science and he can't use vertebrates for the science fair. He also can't use mold or bacteria. So anyone of you einstein tort owner's have any idea?

Also he can use living things like insects

My son dissolved the shell off of eggs using 3 types of vinegar to see which would dissolve the best and quickest. It was a good one, he was the only one who had that project. It's very easy and not complicated! Good luck!

Oooo that seems like a good one but I don't know if it belongs in the "life science" part because I think he needs to use something that's alive. But I like that one ^_^ I will keep that in mind!

I remember one of my children, did incubating chicken eggs. We used the vinegar to show the stages of development.

Others were growing plants and how they will grow toward the light. Another we made natural dyes for eggs. Another was we made paper from different things like paper towels.

Meal worms and super worms are both easy and can be used to show the stages of development.

So no frankenstein's monster then?

Anymore ideas? Remember it has to be life science! and no vetebrates!

Sadly no I was going to find a dead turtle then use electricity through a potato to bring it back to life...

Yes but my brother doesn't have that much time to see how it grows I think it's due by the end of the week.(Friday) Besides I don't know where to buy them my local petsmart/petco doesn't sell them because I never found them and my other pet store (superpetz) is renovating

he can diagram how trees utilize water and how water flows thru them... its life science and you can find all the Diagrams you need on the net... you'd be surprized at how trees get a colom of water up so high with out the entire bottom of the tree exploding by the preassure of the water contained inside.

Yeah but it can't just be done like that it has to be like a hypothesis, independent variable, manipulating variable etc stuff like that

...and its due by the end of the week? Good Luck!

In crickets, the rate of chirping is temperature-dependent. A classic experiment is to record crickets chirping and vary the ambient temperature. You can then plot number of chirps per minute against temperature, and you will find that at low temperatures, crickets don't chirp at all or very slowly, and they chirp faster as the temperature rises up to a point, after which their chirping slows down and eventually stops as they feel poorly or even die. Obviously, it is not necessary to subject these animals to extreme conditions. A nice gradient of temperatures from chilly to warm should to the trick.

I never did well in science class, my answer for everything was magic.

Geo that's a great idea!
