Logan, a homeschooled 6th grader, explores the benefits of taco sauce as a cleaning agent in his Taco Sauce Science Fair Project Abstract. Question Does taco sauce clean pennies, and if so, what ingredient does the cleaning? Hypothesis I think that taco sauce will clean the penny. I hypothesis that it is the tomato paste […]
One of the biggest challenges that I have found as an educator is connecting with my students. Because I am an authority figure and have a responsibility to keep a professional distance from those I teach, it is hard to find a way to bypass this formality. However, I found that if I demonstrate my […]
Logan, an 11th grade student from the state of Georgia in the U.S. did an experiment called Reflecting on Lasers Science Fair Project. Question My investigation was to compare the reflective index of water, milk, gelatin, and an empty container. The problem was “What is the reflective index of a laser passing through a plastic […]
We are so excited to have the first science fair projects site for parents, teachers, homeschoolers and students where you can share your ideas, projects and experiments with each other worldwide. This is truly a forum where an interested community can seek answers to their questions.
We all run into stumbling blocks when we are working on a project. I am sure that other people have the same experience
One of the hottest science fair project genres today is electricity science fair projects. These projects address both the basic scientific concepts related to electricity, as well as the application of these concepts to modern problems. However, one of my main concerns when working with kids and electricity is safety. There are a lot of […]
Question Hi Madeline, My son and I are working on putting together his PicoTurbine Windmill for his 4th grade Science Fair. I am not sure if you are intimately familiar with this project, but I have a question… We have been able to get the expected 1.5-2.0 volts from the turbine by checking the output […]
This is the perfect time of year to do field work for your super science fair projects. The weather is warm, the sun is out and animals and plants are plentiful. One of the easiest observational projects that you can do to learn about scientific field work is to observe your local bird populations. To […]
Question: How would I measure sugar concentration in apple juice in different brands of apple juice. Answer: According to the wine doctor.com the refractometer is a device in which the juice from a wine grape is squeezed into and then provides a sugar reading of the juice content. Another method, according to the wine doctor, […]
Last Friday I came across a news article that I think would make a great escalator for science classroom discussions. This news article discussed pharming. Pharming is a process by which scientists alter the genes of a plant in order to produce new drugs. This is not a new science issue, as it was experimented […]
Last week we talked about a new study that exposed the presence of BPA in a high number of test subjects. Today I’d like to get away from news stories to talk about the upcoming seasonal transition from winter to spring. This is a great time of the year to examine ecosystems, weather patterns and […]
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.
