Adventure Sports Chemistry Science Fair Projects
Nov
Adventure sports chemistry science fair projects will get you to stop thinking of boring and tedious and actually have fun doing your science fair project. Your projects will not be limited limited to the same tired old topics that have been done a thousand times.
When developing a science fair project you need to think outside of the box and you need to be innovative. One way to do this is to develop a unique angle on a common science topic. For example, you can select the topic of chemistry and apply it to the field of adventure sports.
Adventure sports include everything from skiing to ice climbing to back country exploration. If you decide to do your chemistry science fair project on an adventure sport then you will want to select a sport that you are either interested in or that you participate in yourself.
The next step is to figure out what aspect of the adventure sport that you want to examine. For example, if you are interested in mountain climbing you can look at how your blood chemistry is impacted by high altitudes or cold temperatures. On the other hand, if you are interested in deep sea diving you can look at how various chemicals can be used in rebreathers to allow divers to stay underwater longer and to deal more effectively with the pressures found at depths.
What adventure sports chemistry science fair projects did you think of doing? Input your ideas in the comments section below.
Building in 1 Direction: The rods can be connected in-line without the intermediate need of a connector, almost reducing to half the quantity of parts required to build models.
Building in 2 Direction: While the assembled rod looks uniform with nothing protruding, it may provide building directions vertically and sideways by simply snap fitting another rod to one of the bi-directional side cavities. This innovative design allows snap assembly on both sides simultaneously and greatly enhances the expandability of the System.
Building in 3 Directions: The System is capable of tackling with the same ease as all the other building directions. All directions of the 3D space are accessible by combining the rods with the various types of connectors.
Connecting in Fixed Angles: This system makes it possible to build complex models that require connections of 45°
Building Machines: The optimized design of Engino components consists of only 18 different types of multi-functional parts. Yet you can build simple and complex machines. Following the same design principles of the basic system, a range of different types of gears, pulleys, axles and accessories make it the ideal constructional toy for home and school.
Interesting, I wonder what the statistics are on your first point there…
Yes, I also think so. Knowledge is dead, but idea is alive and active. Sometimes, all we need to do is — Just Do It!
Great idea for science fair project. Very “outside the box” type of project. It just shows that science is all around us.
I would love to know the risk of broken bones from half pipe snowboarders. Every time I see the air those guys get it makes me cringe. I know all of them have been hurt at some point, but it seems that the likelihood of serious injury is minimal considering the number of times they both practice and compete in the event. Talk about a cool chemistry experiment!
Josh, that is not a good science fair project for kids, more for adults!
Very Interesting Post. Science fair projects can be very boring because everyone always seems to do the same thing. This idea helps you to think outside the box a little more than usual and can actually be used even when it comes to such things as writing a paper.
I remember doing one about the effects of adrenaline in action sports. Makes it much more interesting, I suggest speaking about something you particularly enjoy doing.
Definitely agree-students should think outside the box a bit more. The only thing with adventure sports is it opens up various safety considerations which need to be taken into account.
Make a single project that has a variable of fun, and then make an exact duplicate and get rid of that variable, so as to make it less entertaining, and then you will have a visible correlation.
Great Idea, that’s the right way to get kids thinking outside the box and to develop some good ideas for science fair projects that will have an interest for them, well done.
Interesting ideas! Exercise experts have long assumed that heart muscles, unlike those of our legs and arms, don’t tire. This should be an interesting science projects, because a few studies of athletes have hinted that the heart also gets worn down by many hours of extreme exercise.

Fair point, although even if a project is discussed and gets approved, safety is still an important consideration. It’s often best to strike a balance between ‘thinking outside the box’ and keeping it simple. Good post though, nice ideas.
I loved science fair projects and they weren’t boring or tedious. There was a lot you could get into and develop into a project. This article sure did bring back memories and new perspectives.
