TJN: you can try styrofoam: mold it into the shape that you want. Maybe look it up on a search engine.

Hi,

Happy: Juliantrubin.com seems to have a lot of science fair ideas on that site. You may look it up to see/ get some ideas.

Hustler: I agree with Adance, you might want to see if this kind of experiment is ok under your science fair's guidelines.

You could get some ideas on a search engine...once you find out what you want to do your experiment on, you can come back here and we will be happy to answer your questions. Good luck with the search!

Nice experiment! I hope everything works out for you. also, good ideas about precaution etc. etc. Good Luck!

Hi, Depending on what your experiment turns out to be...it can be very hard/ complex. Im not exactly sure what kind of experiment you will do. Maybe you can write some ideas of what you are thinking about doing. If you pick an experiment on the brain that is simple, it will be very easy but remember...

Hi, First off, you could research this on google or your favorite search engine...your choice. I would also suggest asking your instructors or other instructors at your school for help. You can also try and do a collaboration with a college professor/ instructor, and see if they will help you out. I...

I agree with geoffbruton...but also...fires needs oxygen like human beings need it. You can suffocate fire as well. Go to the USDA Forest Service, they have many key topics on fire on their site.

You might try a local pet store or company that sells water fleas. You could collect it from a pond or trough but you might collect many different species. Also, pond or trough fleas may have diseases that could possibly affect your experiment. Good Luck!

Well...first off...I am very excited that you are choosing this topic as your project/ research study. The author of this is Phillip Zimbardo at Stanford and contacting him directly should not be very hard. He is a very nice man and will welcome questions.If you cant reach him directly look at his w...

There must be some sort of solution or kit that can be easily acquired at a Water treatment plant. Try calling local water companies or treatment plants in your community. These people obviously need to test the local water supply many many times a week. So local water companies and plants must have...

How long will these creatures live after you have tested them? If you move on to say State or National competitions...will the same ones still be alive? If not, your research will be biased because the original test group needs to be tested and not a second test group. For example, A study on worms ...

well to do this experiment, you would have to bring in a very large test group and make the group very different. This means that you would have to bring in a whole lot of people who are very different than each other. While this is interesting, do not limit the research to just you and your partner...

try using a local Junior College instructor for help as well..

also...Terik and Louise do have good points...but remember...Answers.com is wikipedia in disguise...all the information on answers.com is taken from wikipedia which is considered nothing on a bibliography and is very debatable because anybody can write almost anything on wikipedia.org. I would try t...

cpwgrl, you can do a fairly easy/ simple experiment on your own...all you have to do is get some canned beets, the (2) soaps you want to use and cotton swabs. then 1. rub your hands on money 2. wash with one soap, 3. cotton swab your hand, then rub swab on the beet. 4. keep the beet in an enclosed c...

leon.hu,

you should use the federal funds rates because you are going to do the general population...the discount rate will give you a biast result.

research is available/ readable at the following sites:

+energyquest.ca.gov
+edugreen.teri.res.in
+geothermal.marin.org

check out these--seems to be a very good tool/ resource.

for further research and a sources try space.com and spaceref.com//also try to see if there are any junior college/ college instructors/ professors that would like to help you out on your project-teachers can be a great resource.

try contacting a local professor...i have heard they can be a big help.

You could try FEMA and from their look at earthquakes.

Hi, For info on the influenza diease, I would suggest going to http://www.webmd.com. This site tends to have an overview and various other topics on diseases. As for finding out the years of outbreaks I would try the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, http://www.cdc.gov. I hope all this help...

first of all for future intentions...do not post your whole name on the internet. Its not a safe practice and could get you into trouble. Answering your question you should try asking your current science teachers and previous ones. Here are a few people i think you can contact and they should be he...
