Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals Explain why there are tides and why there are two high tides every day. Do this by using data and results from experiments, models, and observations. Methods/Materials Metho…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project was to see if the rotational period of Vesta can be determined by using photometry. Methods/Materials The method used was photometry, and the m…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals To analyze the movement of sunspots to determine whether or not the sun rotates and if so, at what rate. Methods/Materials I utilized two Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes (5 in…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals The objective was to verify both forms of Heisenburg#s Uncertainty Principle given by the equations: *x*px ~ h and *t*E ~ h Where x is position, p is the momentum, t is time…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals Recent events in California and elsewhere increase the urgency of additional energy saving devices that will reduce the total demand and save the consumer money. Here a new…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics
Objectives/Goals My objective was to find out if the shape of a parachute affects the rate of its descent. I believe the shape will affect a parachute's descent rate, and that the triangle w…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals My project was to find out if volume and strain can affect the pitch of a sound. Methods/Materials I used 10 beer glasses to see if volume is a factor in pitch change. The f…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project was to determine what factors have the affect on the power produced by a windmill. My hypothesis is that the speed and the angle of the wind, the…
Electricity & Electronics
Objectives/Goals I found out that the Superman ride, at Magic Mountain, was powered by electromagnetic propulsion. I built an eletromagnetic propulsion device that worked the same way. I wan…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals My goal was to learn if the presence of a magnetic field at the anode or the cathode of a tube containing a rarefied noble gas would affect the voltage at which the gas woul…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals The objective is to find out why an object, such as a roller coaster or Hot Wheels car, is able to travel upside down around a loop without falling off of the track. My hypo…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics
Objectives/Goals The project's purposes were 1) to determine the geometric and effective angles of attack that would generate maximum lift for the airfoils I tested and 2) to determine how a…
Electricity & Electronics
Objectives/Goals My objective was to find out which was a faster modem, DSL or Cable. My hypothesis was that DSL would be faster. Methods/Materials To perform my experiment, I tested the con…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics
Objectives/Goals My objective was to determine which of five wing shapes (rectangular, elliptical, delta, swept, and round) generated the most lift, by testing them individually in a simple,…
Electricity & Electronics
Objectives/Goals The purpose of our project was to prove that various sizes and numbers of windmill blades will have an effect on rpm (revolutions per minute), milliamp power, and voltage ch…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics
Objectives/Goals Which kind of blade will produce a greater force of wind? Methods/Materials Make two holes in the front of the box, another in the back, opposite of the first holes. Put the…
