Science Fair Project

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have to do a science fair project for high school honors chemistry, and I have no ideas for a project.

This project can either be a research project, or an experimental project, and is due somewhere between the end of April and the beginning of May.

I would love to do something that has to do with music, games, animation, or anything fun/interesting.

I wanted to do something like, "how does music effect the atmosphere of a game," but my teacher is strict on the "what does your project have to do with chemistry" thing.

I would love to be able to find a project that I would enjoy working on.

 

Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance!

Game project ideas for beginner, intermediate and advanced level

 

You can also search the same site for Music and other project ideas.

 

We don't have science fairs in our education system so I can't really recommend from experience, we just do controlled ISAs.

I've asked about things like this, still "how does it relate to chemistry."

But, thanks!  I'll look into it a bit more.

Hmmm...

 

If you are looking to go places with the project, they LOVE energy related stuff.  If you can make a battery or generate electricity out of some every-day thing, like a water  softener or something, you have an extremely high chance at district, at the very least. (I know some high school people who are being offered full rides to all sorts of fancy universities for making a battery that runs off of sewage, heheh... They made it to national, but not international.)

 

If there is anything you've ever just been curious about, those are the most enjoyable ones to do.  

 

Comparing different products cleaning abilities is a pretty common chemistry-related idea, if you absolutely can't think of anything, but your teacher probably wants you to think a little bit harder than that one, heheh.

 

I dunno.  Google something?

Only chemistry experiments I know are clock reaction, titration, neautralization and so, i've only used music before in Physics o.o

Does it NEED to be chemistry?

I started my honors science fair back in october

it's a real pain the butt--my teacher is fairly strict too

to combine music and chemistry, maybe you could study something to the effect of music on chemicals? As in, if a certain chemical is exposed to extreme vibrations for an extended period  of time, will it stop working? One of my friends is doing something to the effect of this--I don't really know the details of it, so you would have to research which chemicals to use and stuff. I just let her borrow a speaker for it. 

Good luck with science fair! (:

edit: she said she used hydrogen peroxide as one of her things, and it made it stop working for whatever her experiment was?? she added fresh liver to normal hydrogen peroxide and it fizzed, but after exposing the hydrogen peroxide to musical vibrations for a day, it didn't fizz.

Unfortunately, yes it does... or at least I have to explain "how it ties in to chemistry."

Hm.. that seems pretty cool.

 

 

I want to find something that I would research even if I didn't have to. :P  I don't know if that is very likely, but maybe a project that could end of helping me in animation, game development, or something.  But nothing seems to tie in to chemistry.  Haha

 

I am really appreciating all of the help, everyone!

I have no idea how chemistry could tie to music or games...

Make a meth lab instead.

And I will buy it after the fair.
