second the best!

ok, after reading that email ms zhang sent us (if you haven't read it already, read it!) i've thought of another idea. by myself.

aim: to find what type of paper deteriorates the fastest, and in what liquid.

method:

• put different samples of paper into glasses, and into different liquids.
• take photos everyday, or every few days, depending on rate of decomposition.

independant variable: putting normal paper in water?

dependant variables: everything else.

some liquids to use:

- water

- vinegar

- oil?

- detergent water

- bi carb/water solution? (not sure)

- salt water

- sugar/water solution

different types of paper:

- normal paper (from school or something)

- higher quality paper.....

- photo paper

- hi gloss paper

- cardboard.

now that i think of it, i think thats a preeeety good idea, but i might have too many variables... i'll need to refine this eventually.

but in the meantime, please leave your interesting or creative responses in the comment section belooooow. :D

first idea!

so, i've been thinking about this SRP for a little while now, and i still havent thought of anything that seems remotely SC standard. >__>

well. they were all kinda based on primary experiments. which is fail. -____-

so i asked my mum. and she thought of getting some sort of windmill (?) and running some water down it or something, then connecting the windmill to a light bulb, and measuring how much energy it makes. this raised a few questions, ie:

1. why windmill ? of all things.... what about one of them water spinning thingys.... dunno what its called..... water wheel? o_o

2. where do i get a light bulb?

3. how would you convert the kinetic energy from the windmill/water wheel into electricity to power a light bulb, and

4. how do you measure how much energy –––> voltmeter? or ammeter?... >___<


but, i have an awesome uncle who makes stuff.... and would probably have a lightbulb or two...
so thats kinda alright.

i just need to make a few adjustments to this idea, like, what is the point of the experiment? amongst others.
but yeh...

thanks mum! :D

[edit] wow, that was kinda long... 8D

hello cyberspace! (ie. world)

well, i've made my blog, obviously.

now what?

now, the real fun begins! :D
