Showing Results for physics motion water slide activity

Have your child kick off their summer vacation by making a miniature water slide!

In this simple circular motion experiment, you'll observe tangential velocity and learn about how acceleration and centripetal force affect an object.

Determine whether butterflies like to drink sugar water, salt water, or plain water.

Will increasing the amount of salt in water effect how slow or fast the water freezes?

Most people assume that cold water freezes more quickly, but could that be false? Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Let's find out!

Science fair project that compares the freezing temperature of salt water and freshwater in order to learn about supercooling and condensation nuclei.

Chlorine and chloramine are added to our tap water to kill harmful microorganisms. What is the best way to filter these disinfectants in your drinking water?

This science fair project on testing water hardness is a great introduction to practical chemistry. Test and learn the difference between hard and soft water.

What is elasticity? Students will investigate how this concept applies to bouncing ball physics by testing the bounces of balls made out of different materials.

Learn about sound physics and do a survey experiment to explore the difference between sound and noise in this science project.

This science fair project idea demonstrates that plants give off water.

Water, along with soil and light, is a necessary component for plant growth. So what's better for promoting plant growth: tap water, or rain water?

This science fair project idea compares biodiversity between drops of water.

Examine whether distilled water, spring water, or regular tap water yield faster plant growth.

Using an empty tennis ball can and a swimming pool, you will determine if it's possible to have a conversation under water.

How does water pressure change with depth? Kids learn how pressure works underwater with this cool and easy demo.

Find out which type of sponge holds the most water.

In this science project, learn about water transport in plants and make a beautiful dyed floral arrangement with cohesion, adhesion, and xylem tubes!

Science fair project which determines if plants really do need water to grow, or whether they just need to be kept wet.

Test whether plants can grow without sunlight and water.

This project is a vivid, concrete introduction to the basic but important idea that plants need sunlight and water to grow.

This project demonstrates the correspondence between the volume of water displaced by a submerged object and the volume of the object displacing it.

Discover whether a metal will expand under hot water.

In this activity, students will create a stop motion animation by creating a clay figure and taking a series of digital photographs.
