Using the Breast Cancer Diagnosis Project for a Science Fair

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades 6-8: Life, Earth, and Social Sciences

Using the Breast Cancer Diagnosis Project for a Science Fair Using the Breast Cancer Diagnosis Project for a Science Fair Hi, Basically, my school is doing a science fair for the next two weeks (where we'll have to present to PhD students and professors at the university!), and the topic is relations between humans and AI. I was looking around and thought that the Breast Cancer Diagnosis project for middle school would be such a cool idea, but when I tried to follow the steps myself in the… Read more

WAAS-capable GPS receiver WAAS-capable GPS receiver What is the best, but cheapest WAAS-capable GPS receiver that you can get? The project on this website, "Tracking Geomagnetic Storms in the Ionosphere," says that you can get one for $40 - $80, but I haven't seen one. Re: WAAS-capable GPS receiver The project doesn't link to a specific one, and we don't have recommendations. As products have changed, it may be that the price estimate on this project needs to be updated. I've filed this… Read more

Question about Comparing E.coli Strains for Transformation Efficiency Question about Comparing E.coli Strains for Transformation Efficiency Hello! I am doing a science experiment comparing the transformation efficiencies of various strains of E. coli. For my experiment, I am using the pGLO plasmid from BioRad as my plasmid being cloned, and the different strains of E. Coli I am comparing are E. Coli K-12, E. coli B, and E. Coli DH5a. My results show that E.Coli K-12 had the highest rate of… Read more

Mathematical equation for tsunamis

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades 6-8: Life, Earth, and Social Sciences

Mathematical equation for tsunamis Mathematical equation for tsunamis Help! My daughter is doing a science fair project on tsunamis: study the effect of water depth on wave velocity. All the steps and analyzing our data are done. However, at the very end of the Science Buddies project, it wants an additional calculated result to show similar shaped curves on a graph compared to the results we experimented with. The equation is V=sqrt(gd) V=velocity in meters/second (m/s) g=acceleration of… Read more

Absorption in plant soil

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades 9-12: Life, Earth, and Social Sciences

Absorption in plant soil Absorption in plant soil Hey, I’m doing a science fair project and its based on testing the different tensile strengths of spider silk when feeding them chemicals that should, in theory, increase the silk’s durability. This has been done before with graphene, and we want to use borophene since it seems like a better alternative. To do that we want to feed it to crickets (spider feed) through plants, and wondering if applying it to the soil of the plants that are used… Read more
