AWARDS: Honorable Mention of the Virtural Summer Science Fair Contest - Super Science Fair Projects


Purpose - Science Fair Projects Truck Lab
To find the relationship between the position (meter) and time (second) of the truck.

Hypothesis - Science Fair Projects Truck Lab:
The higher the traveled distance, the time will also be higher.

Procedure - Science Fair Projects Truck Lab:

  • Measure 5 traveled distance/time pairs.
  • 5 times of measurements for each pair traveled distance/time (average) 25 measurements
  • Results - Science Fair Projects Truck Lab:
    The longer the travel distance will also increase the time for the truck pass through the distance.

    Conclusions - Science Fair Projects Truck Lab:
    There is a direct relationship between position (m) and time (s). The higher the traveled distance of the truck, the time that use for the truck to pass through the distance will also increase. There is also another relationship being found, the slope is the velocity of the truck.

    M = 0366t

    General result: X =VT x X0

    X – Position
    V – Velocity
    T – Time
    X0 – (position at time = 0) in this case X0 = 0

    What I Would Do Differently Next Time:

    1. Instead do 5 times research for each relationship, I need to do 10 so the result will be more exact.

    2. Ask another 2 or 3 more people to help me timing the time for the truck to reach from start point to the end point for each 10 of the time so the average time result will also be more exact.
