Hi every one! It's that time again at my school when we have to have that stupid "Science Fair." Does any one have any suggestions on what my project should be about? did you ever have a so called "Science Fair?" If so what was your project on?

Hm.. I did those science fair things, and I never had an interesting topic. You should figure out how to make a new bomb, that will kill er... hm.. All dumb people, that's not entertaining us... I don't know.. I will start thinking and see what I can do. ^^

I hated science fairs.. refused to do a project every time.. took a Zero.. who cares. If you have chickens.. you could do one of those stages of a chick's development things.

The ones I did, becuase it was called social sceince.. meaning we could either do a social studies once, or science one... For social studies I did research on the american flag. Science I did at what temp. do different liquids freeze. Yeah, boring shit... But again, I will continue thinking about ideas! ^^

Ok..some very cool things you can do.. You know those coal miner helmets with the little lights? The old ones were run with acetlylene.. how it works is you get carbide crystals (not hard to get).. and you put water on them
and the gas that comes off is acetlylene.. its very cool...we used to take a pipe tobacco can..and solder a small copper tube through a hole in the lid..and we would put the crystals and water inside.. and then close it up.
We would fill balloons with the gas. When you touch a match to the balloon..you get this humongous fireball..( and a totally black hand from all the soot) heheh great fun (although a tad dangerous).. heheh
anyway..the point being.. you can do a lot of simple things and make great stuff.. Carbide and water, Ammonia and Iodine crystals.. now THATS cool too.. when you take the crystals out.. they..are like those poppers that you throw on the ground and explode.. and all the little pieces explode too.. very cool stuff (think i will refrain from telling you how to make nitrocellulose. That one could get you in trouble..(gun cotton).. explore! thats what science fairs are for!!

in jr high i had to do one every year. grade 7 i made bridges out of popsicle sticks with the diff bridge designs and tried to see which one would break faster. grade 8 i did the electric fruit thing.. like jab a penny and a needle in a fruit and see which one conducts electricity the most and try to figure out why. and the last year (which was good) i left eggs in tea.. or maybe it was coffee.. i cant remember and let them soak and stain and see which toothpaste can whiten better. just make sure you boil the eggs so they dont break.

and in high school i did an optional thing instead of a paper or all of these stupid other projects. get a block of dry ice. its the coolest thing ever. theres lots of dry ice experiments. and its special because most things (like water for instance) go from solid to liquid to gas depending on temperature. but carbon dioxide (dry ice is frozen C02) goes from solid to gas. and has all of these cool properties. like we put a piece in a flim can and closed the lid and left it for a couple minutes and shoots the top. (because gas builds up and yadda yadda) and you can make it into air hockey pucks on smooth surfaces. fun times. that stuff is a hoot. yay sublimation.

Do a report on flatulence. Make a realistic human buttox and make it pump out farts! You could surprise people by making it crap all over the place or somthing. That would be funny!
