Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My purpose was to discover if foods with higher fat content had more calories in them. Mainly, I wanted to carry out an experiment that had to do with something we use every…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine weather the colorful, imported slate we have from India which has an oily metallic residue, will have any harmful or negative effects on our fr…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals Introduction: Veggie cars are good to drive because they run on the renewable resource - vegetable oil. My motivation for this project was to see which oil is the best for a…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My science fair project was to put different substances into different cups or tap water, and to see which one evaporated the fastest. I thought it would be a good idea beca…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine which combination of ingredients results in the pancake with the lowest density. Methods/Materials Four experiments were performed. In three of…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals For my science project I wanted to determine which fireplace fuels work most efficiantly to heat a room for the least amount of time, energy, and money. Methods/Materials Fo…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The goal of this project was to spectrophotometrically determine how much food coloring is in soda pop and Kool-Aid. Methods/Materials A Cary 5E spectrophotometer was used t…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals 1) Identify which structural features of quinoline-based antimalarials prevent heme polymerization (therefore killing the malaria parasite Plasmodium with free heme inside t…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My objective was to learn to make soap using different types of fats; I assumed that the solidity of the type of fat used would determine the density of the finished soap. M…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals I wanted to find out if I could influence ordinary tap water to make the surface tension change, and if it did, how it would change. I tried it by adding salt, oil, detergen…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My project was seeing how different Acids affect a pennies mass; this was done in order to verify the impact of acid rain. Methods/Materials Pennies were put in water (contr…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals To find out which type of detergent will weaken the fabric and cause the fabric to he point that it can't turn back to it's normal size. the other reason is to find out whic…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My project is to determine which water type will dissolve bar soap at the fastest rate. Methods/Materials Four plastic containers were set-up and labeled for specific water…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine whether or not the Brita Water Filter makes significant improvements in the pH, total hardness, total dissolved solids, free chlorine, total ch…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals I studied electrolysis hoping to find a green method of making the hydrogen necessary for running hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. My objective was to find a favorable voltage a…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals I hypothesized that silica (SiO2) molecules, or quartz, found in common beach sand, could be separated to create pure silicon (Si), a key material in computer processors. An…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals My project is based on the chemical reaction that is created when mixing acids (vinegar) and bases (baking soda) to create gas. After measuring the amount of gas produced by…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The objective for this project is to maximize hydrogen production using a high output hydrogen production unit. Methods/Materials Methods include testining the electrodes, a…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals The objective was to find out which milk - whole, reduced fat, or fat free - had the highest protein level and determine if the process of skimming does indeed collect all o…
Chemistry
Objectives/Goals Which type of metal is the most resistant to vinegar: copper, aluminum, or steel? Methods/Materials Materials: The few materials I used were: 1. Bowls 2. Vinegar 3. Differen…
