This is for a middle school science fair experiment. The initial research indicated that plants would like this light. It stimulates the mitochondria and increases ATP. The Basil seedlings DID NOT react well. Is it because of this stage of growth being so vulnerable? Does it have anything to do with respiration and photosynthesis being opposite? Comments from experts PLEASE!
Yes you are right, trust a top contributor.
Does anyone have any insight into plants reactions to exposure to 635nm cold laser light?
Why is it OK for boy’s education to fall behind in our Western society?
Why are the gaps being reversed and a blind eye turned to them?
Gaps where girls are behind have major movements trying to close them and create role models for girls in these areas, but as gaps open up in education in the other direction it’s not ok to address this. Why is this?
If boys are behind girls theyre seen as immature or lazy etc.. but when girls are behind boys it’s seen as sexist oppression. Why is this?
THe fact of the matter is schools are heavily female-dominated so there is lack of role-models for boys in fact many elementary schools are totally run by women so this is going to be a biased teaching routine like rwearding communal work, and students who are docile, obedient, patient, silent and dilligent.
If you look as schools wehere there are more male teachers like private school you’ll see these are the schools where boys grades are higher but still not as high as girls but at least there’s more male contact (role models) so more drive.
Now if boys were just lazy and immature why are the ahead in science, sport and math? Look at the areas where the teachers are often males as most scientists are male and mathematicians. Also look areas which are more physical like sports classes/scholarships or science where you walk around the lab collecting beakers, tripods and set up the bunsen and so on and do the experiment then you go and sit down and write up. And also the write up is more male friendly because its linear as in no feelings or opinions it;’s just you did the experiment and not write down the result, end of.
What if ritalin is not a behaviouir modification drug and is really a passification drug which forces boys to act like girls i.e. docile, obedient, passive etc…?
I wonder how many boys need ritalin to play sports or do science experiments?
the boys have no movement behind them……… no one to cry sexism at the drop of a hat
High school science fair experiments?
I need help with a topic. Something maybe related to biology, psychology or chemistry. It has to have a practical application also ( related to our world’s problems) Thanks.
Try putting plants in polluted soil and seeing if you can save them. It doesn’t have to work, you just have to know why it doesn’t.
What is a cool science project for a kid to do that is about 9-10 years old?
Go to your local library and find some books. They will be great in helping you find science projects. Hope I helped.
Babysitting 10 year old, fun crafts, science experiments, games, etc.?
I am 15 and have a 10 year old niece and 21 month old nephew. I babysit them every weekend, from 4 til late on Friday and 9am-9pm on Saturday. Obviously my nephew needs more attention because he is so young. I take him for walks, read books, play with his toys, play in the backyard, etc, etc. My niece often goes to friends houses while I am there. She is allowed about an hour of TV a day. Sometime, when none of her friends are around, she stays home, but never wants to do anything with her brother and me. She has been kind of moody lately and complains that I never let her do anything fun if I tell her no to something that she is never allowed to do. She is basically a good kid and is smart and very creative.
I need some good activities, experiments, games, crafts Anything that is safe for her and her little brother. I need as many suggestions as possible. Anyone know how to make a paper mache volcano or anything like that? Thanks!! I know this is a long question! Thank you!
If I made a "kid kit" or "fun box," a box of fun things to have with me for the kids, what should be in it?
i think cooking would be fun. as long as u make something fun. like make cookies , and decorate them. or decorate muffins.
you could also make jewlery, teach her how to sew, then sew a fun project like a purse or shirt or blanket.
go to something cheap or free…
you could go to a science museum.
if shes allowed to talk on the phone, you should let her do that.
you can make crafts for her parents or for her little brother.
you could
do a bedroom mural… get permission from the parents…
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Overhead projector (you can borrow or rent one)
Transparency film (available at office supply stores)
Fine-tip markers
Masking or painter’s tape
Paints (interior latex and artists’ acrylics)
Paintbrushes in various sizes for outlining, filling in, and detail work
Time needed: Weekend Project
1. Choose an image. We suggest sticking to fairly simple, two-dimensional pictures or designs that don’t rely on elaborate shading or perspective. And the fewer colors the better. If your child has trouble selecting a favorite, check out the clip art sources at left (Daphne Jensen found her image on a CD-ROM of clip art). Any image that can be traced or printed onto transparency film will work.
2. Location, location, location. Decide where you want the mural. Do you want to incorporate architectural details? For instance, you might paint a jungle animal "sitting" on a radiator.
3. Make the transparency. There are three ways to transfer an image to transparency film: use a fine-tip marker to trace the picture onto the film, photocopy the picture onto the film, or use an ink-jet or laser printer to print a computer image onto the film. Decide which will work best for your image, then purchase transparency film (boxes of 25 sheets start at $4) at an office supply store. Note that different types are sold for tracing, photocopying, and various printers.
4. Project your picture. Borrow an overhead projector from a school or church or rent one from a rental shop. Experiment with the distance you project from and the size of the image on the transparency to get the mural dimensions you want. (For the mural Daphne made, the baseball diamond on the transparency was 5 inches tall, and we set the projector 10 feet from the wall to enlarge it to almost 4 feet tall.) Use a pencil to trace the outline of the projected image (including any shaded parts) onto the wall.
5. Select your paint. Interior latex paint, which comes in quarts, is best if you’re painting a few colors and filling in relatively large areas. For detail work, use artists’ acrylics, available in tubes and bottles at craft and art supply stores. You’ll also need appropriately sized paintbrushes.
6. Paint like a pro. For a more realistic effect, paint the background before the foreground. Step back from your mural regularly to see how it looks from the distance it will be viewed from.
Tips:
For straight lines (such as our baseball diamond), use masking or painter’s tape as a paint guide.
Polymer Oil Spill Cleanup Experiment
Lets have some good old fashioned science fun and do an experiment to find out which materials best clean up an oil spill. We will use a super absorbent polymer called a hydrogel (also known as water gel or slush powder) to conduct our experiment. The polymer is the same stuff used in baby
diapers. We will turn the oil into a solid then scoop it out! In the process we will learn about how oil spills effect the environment. For more on this experiment visit: http://weirdsciencekids.com/OilspillexperimentPolymer.html
