"The Surprising Strength Of Eggshells"

Post by deleted-782109 »

My science fair project is about how strong eggshells are and how much weight they can hold. Part of my grade is to ask 5 questions to an expert. Well my first question is what made eggshells/eggs so interesting to you. My second question is how much weight do you think it can hold and why. My third question do you like your job and what job do you have (you dont have to answer that question if you want). My fourth question is why is calcium carbonate so important in eggshells/eggs. If that question is not acceptable then how do I put my results into a graph and into a chart. I think my project is important because I think while doing this experiment we can find new ways to build stronger arches do you agree?
Thank you

Hello Hello_hi and welcome to Science Buddies!

Science Buddies has a special forum where you can post the questions you want to ask an expert:

viewforum.php?f=82

Before you write out your questions, please be sure to read the "Interview Guidelines":

viewtopic.php?f=82&t=12052

When you read those guidelines, note that questions about your science project are not considered appropriate to ask of the interviewee. To help you answer your project-specific questions, I encourage you to read the Summary and Background sections of this Science Buddies project:

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ls#summary

For help with preparing a graph to display your results, look at Steps 12 through 16 in the Procedures section:

Let us know if these sections helped you and be sure to ask if you have more questions. Good luck!

Hello MadelinB so for my science project I have to ask 5 questions but I really don't know what to ask. So maybe you can give me some ideas? I also need to get the interviewer's name for my project? So maybe when you give me some ideas I would really appreciate if you answer them.
Thank you for helping me out.

Hello,
The experts here at Science Buddies are here to help you think about your project and read the information in the project. Follow the listed references so you learn about the background. As I suggested in my previous post, you should read the guidelines about requesting an interview. If you read that carefully, you will see several suggestions for what type of questions to ask the expert. You will also note that you are requested not to ask the expert for contact information. If your teacher is giving you different instructions, please have your teacher read the guidelines. Thank you.
