The papier-mâché volcano is a real classic, but there are many other ways to make an even more exciting and interesting science project focused on volcanoes! To get started on your own volcano-based science project, you will want to first have an understanding of how volcanoes form. This is related to tectonic plates. The entire outer shell of the Earth, known as the lithosphere, is made up of tectonic plates that are constantly moving. There are seven or eight large tectonic… Read more

When we get hot, we sweat. Sweating helps cool us down. When the water evaporates, it removes energy from our bodies. This sort of evaporative cooling can also be used to cool homes using what are referred to as swamp coolers. In some cases, these coolers may be more energy-efficient than traditional air conditioners. In this chemistry science fair project, you will find out which liquid works best for evaporative cooling.
