Jupiter and Its Moons

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals My objective is to determine why Jupiter's moons have different orbits. I predict that the moon farthest from Jupiter will have the longest orbital period and the closest mo…

CSEF · 2002

Length for Lift

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics

Objectives/Goals My question was "How does the length of a wing help keep the wing in the air?" My goal was to find out which wing generated more lift, large or small. I guessed that the lon…

Light Power: Energy from Color

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals The objective of my project was to test different wavelengths of light to find out which color can produce the most power when shined on a solar cell. My hypothesis was that…

CSEF · 2002

Light Refraction

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals Can the refraction of light be used to identify materials? Methods/Materials Using a laser and polar projection paper, I shot the light beam through the medium and calculate…

CSEF · 2002

Magnets

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine if decreased temperature increases magnetic strength. Methods/Materials Five groups with five magnets in each group were tested at varying temp…

CSEF · 2002

Making a Stronger Electromagnet

Electricity & Electronics

Objectives/Goals Objective: The objective of my experiment was to determine how certain variables affect the strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet. I tested the variables of ele…

Millikan's Oil Drop Experiment

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals The purpose of my project was to use Millikan#s oil drop experiment to experimentally determine the value of the electron charge, #e#, to demonstrate the discrete nature of…

CSEF · 2002

One Ring to Rule Them All

Electricity & Electronics

Objectives/Goals For our project we wanted to find out what metal would go the fastest when proppelled by a magnetic induction coil launcher. Methods/Materials Method: set up coil launcher,…

CSEF · 2002

Opilliones: Harmonic Oscillators

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals My objective was to learn how a spider#s mass effects it#s vibrations. I believe as the spider#s mass increase the vibrations will decrease. Methods/Materials Six of the sam…

CSEF · 2002

Optimal Windmill Blades for Power Generation

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics

Objectives/Goals The goal of the experiement was to determine the most effective shape, and its relative angle to the direction of the wind for power genoration. In the experiment another go…

CSEF · 2002

Properties of the Pendulum

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals My objective was to find which variable - weight, length, or amplitude - would have the greatest effect on the period of a pendulum. I believed that weight, length, and ampl…

CSEF · 2002

Radiation

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals The goal of this project was to determine if I could identify an unknown source of radiation (Coleman lantern mantles) as emitting alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. In additi…

CSEF · 2002

Radiation Absorption

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals The objective of my project was to determine the characteristics of radiation and to find the best overall shield to stop the penetrating power of my radiation sources (Gamm…

CSEF · 2002

Rainbow Makers

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals My objective was to determine how the refractive index value of a medium affects its angular dispersion. Methods/Materials In the first part of my experiment, I used Snell's…
