What is best for a 5th grade science project?

Answer 1

This year i did fruit dehydration and I thought it was boring.

Answer:

Make an electric motor from a neodymium magnet, dry wall nail and AAA battery. Simple yet no grade school teacher will be able to explain it, parents will be amazed! You can demonstrate electromotive force and the left hand rule. Link has details.

Answer:The science fair projects I did in high school were:

1. Which is which, Coke or Pepsi?

Have several people drink from two cups of cola, with a saltine cracker between. The study is really about perceptions because both cups have Coke. Most folks will say the second is Pepsi because the salt on the cracker makes the second one taste sweeter and Pepsi is a sweeter drink. KEY: Do the test tasting with only one person at a time.

2. Does Handwriting Analysis Provide An Accurate Personality Profile?

Have several people write a sample text (I used the poem Mary Had A Little Lamb) and sign their name. Find a book on handwriting analysis (graphology) and write up a little paragraph about each person from your analysis. Ask the person and their best friend to comment on the accuracy of your profile. If you have siblings in the test group (brothers and sisters), compare their handwriting to see if they look similar but have different profiles.

3. How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Tootsie Roll Center Of A Tootsie Pop?

Have a lot of people lick one side of a Tootsie Pop and count the licks. I also tracked if the person had a moist/normal/dry mouth and if they pushed hard/normal. Average the number of licks. This is probably enough for the 5th grade level -- ask your teacher for advice.

Then I used linear regression on this data to solve the equation:

Base # of Licks

- Pushing Hard Effect (0 if normal)

+ Unusually Moist/Dry Mouth Effect (0 if normal)

====================================

= Actual Licks

The math would be too hard for you to do by hand, but you may be able to get someone to help you put the data in a scientific calculator or computer program.

It's been more than 20 years, but I think I found something like:

Base # Licks = 215 licks

Pushing Hard Effect = 75 fewer licks

Unusually Moist/Dry Mouth Effect = 50 more licks

The key is not to get the same answer I got but to show all the steps how to get the answer you got. By the way, the Tootsie folks are running a Sweepstakes to guess the number of licks -- even if you don't do the experiment (since you're not 13 years old, get your parents to enter the contest).

Answer 2

there are lots of good science projects but i would prefer 'what causes a series ciruit or a parallel circuit because of the fact that i did it at my school last year and i won.Only thing you would need for this easy A+ is a battery,a lightbulb,and some wire,and if you choose this project your title would be'what causes a series circuit(or parallel circuit.)i did a series circuit.

Answer 3

I panted two pots one had soil and the other with soil and fertilizer I was seeing which one would grow the fastest.

Answer 4

does oil effect plant growth?

you need 3 plants (all the same) one (plant A) two (plant B) and three (plant C) plant A has to be in the sun and needs to have water plant B does not have to be in the sun and needs no water plant C has to have the oil no sunlight and water you need to put water and has to be in the sun or out oil everyday and have a camera to take pictures every day and record observes you keep on watering or putting oil in the plants until 2 or 1 week (depends on you and your teacher) once your done you see which one either plant A plant B or plant C has died more AND NOW YOU FINISHED YOUR SCIENCE PROJECT!!

Answer 5

I would recommend a dropping project. If there were to be a constant height and air resistance.(same height and like no paper or anything with air resistance) which object would drop first, you must use two different objects that have different weights. I placed packs of post its (1 pack =100) in a box. I got the same box and put 5 packs of post its in box 2. They will drop at the same time and at the same height. The boxes will both hit the ground at the same time.

Answer 6

try something on how different liquids affect plants, it is fairly cheap and easy to construct.

Answer 7

ur so stupidn to ask that question!!
