Carbon Dioxide Science Fair Projects

Carbon dioxide science fair projects can examine a lot of different things. First of all they can use chemistry experiments to test the carbon dioxide emitted by humans, cars or plants. Next they can compare emission rates of two organisms or inorganic objects. So what type of project are you interested in? If you would like a few ideas to help get you pointed in the right direction then try out these science fair projects.

Boys vs. girls, who produces the most carbon dioxide in a minute? This is a very interesting hypothesis that you can test with your carbon dioxide science fair projects. This experiment will require you to design an experiment where you collect breath samples from boys and girls during a one minute interval. For example, you can have them breath into a balloon. Then see who can exhale the largest volume of carbon dioxide, boys or girls. You will figure this out by measuring the volume of the balloons that were completely or partially inflated.

Cars vs. trucks, who produces the most carbon dioxide in a minute? To test this hypothesis you will need to develop special physics science fair projects that will allow you to collect carbon dioxide samples from cars and trucks. Then compare the volume of CO2 that was produced by each. Were your results the same as your predictions? Why or why not?

How much carbon dioxide do flowers absorb in an hour? This is an advanced project that will take a lot of ingenuity. You will need to find a way to isolate the flower in a controlled environment. You will then need to pump in a specific amount of carbon dioxide into that environment. Then you will let the flower do its job for an hour. Then you will need to measure the remaining CO2 using a carbon dioxide detector. Use this data to make recommendation about how to clean air inside a building, or use the information to design a more elaborate experiment.

How many trees would it take to clean the smog from the Los Angeles metropolitan area? This is a very advanced hypothesis question that would make an excellent science fair project. To answer this hypothesis you need to first determine what types of trees can thrive in the Los Angeles area and then determine how much CO2 that type of tree absorbs each night. Then you will need to calculate how much smog in produced each day in Los Angeles, and how much of this is carbon dioxide. Then divide this number by the amount a single tree can absorb. How many trees will it take? Is there enough landmass available to plant this many trees?

Designing advanced projects around carbon dioxide is not difficult to do. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, so there are a lot of potential projects that can be created. Since judges are interested in projects that strive to solve current environmental issues and health issues, this type of project can improve your chances of winning a science fair. Have fun with your project and good luck!
