Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi, i would like to test something about my swimming pool although i don't have any ideas. Could you help? It is a salt and chlorine filled pool which uses a cover when out of use. We also have solar heating. Do you have any suggestions of what i should test and my hypothesis.

Hi gflynn,

One possibility is to build your project around the disinfection of water. There are several projects related to this in the Science Buddies list. Two examples are:

Or you might want to browse the Science Buddies project ideas section for projects about solar heating or the heat capacity of water. Here are two more examples:

Also, there is a topic selection wizard that may help you with finding a great project topic:

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
