What is a science fair project with coffee / cacao?
Sep
Question: Dear Madeline
Some time ago you had something in one of your newsletters about a science fair project with chocolate. (coffee, cacao etc.) that one can use. Is it possible to forward the information to me? We would like to do something along that line for our next project. My Child is 12 years old.

Answer: Elbie, I honestly don’t know where it is at.
There are about 5000 pages on the site. Go to https://www.super-science-fair-projects.com and use the search window in the upper right corner of the page, input the word coffee, then try cacao. Here are a couple of science fair projects with coffee that I found. You may be able to find more: Renal Function Science Fair Project and Science Fair Project on Foliage and Nutrients.
NCBI has an abstract on Health and Coffee.
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.
With all the studies and surveys done on the subject of drinking coffee, we still do not know the advantages or disadvantages of coffee. Perhaps we will never know.
The research on coffee seems to go back and forth in terms of positive/negative effects. I guess it can’t be that bad for you.
This is my specialty! I looked at the renal function project, and even though coffee does produce the most urine, scientific studies have shown that it actually is not a diuretic, as many people thought. If you drink it in moderation, you can use it within your daily fluid intake count.
The British Nutrition Foundation did confirm that you do not need to drink extra water to compensate for caffeinated beverages, like coffee. It can work as a mild diuretic, but the overall study found that it does not take away from your daily fluid intake, but can contribute to it.
I think we all know that coffee is basically bad for you. While it’s not very bad, if you never drink coffee and get all your energy from other sources like regular exercise, good rest and a good diet. Then you are going to be much healthier than someone who drinks coffee every day!
Anyone disagree?
Jane, thank you for an honest comment.
Coffee is a fantastic beverage with many positive qualities but like everything in life it has to be taken in moderation.
Some studies have shown coffee can significantly reduce the risk of diabetes, especially in men. Also studies show coffee is good for asthma sufferers.
I would like to see the studies that support the research that you referred to.
This is a science fair projects site and we need proof! 🙂
Also, many of you who have been stating the positive effects of coffee show an email that indicates you have a business in that arena. So I think some of your information is biased, unless you state the journal and date of article where you found your information.
Hmm, sounds like a delicious science fair project!
Coffee really can be a good stimulus for various day to day activities. As a college and high school student I immensely relied on coffee to get me through exam seasons. Still a favorite drink of mine.
Good quality isn’t an accident; it is definitely the consequence of superior plan, sincere work, intelligent direction and skilled execution; it represents the wise range of many solutions.
