 | How quickly do different types of household fabrics burn? (Parental supervision needed)
The purpose of my project is to find out more about the flammability of household fabrics used in the home, and maybe find a relationship between the size of the fabric, the length
of time that it was exposed to fire, and the length of time that it takes to burn. Since I picked out a lot of different kinds of fabric to test, I wasn't sure of what to expect. My
hypothesis states that most of |

| How to create a heat engine with the help of magnetism
I originally built this toy using a Canadian nickel coin. Canadian nickels are made of pure nickel, unlike U.S. nickels, which contain so much copper that they are not magnetic. You can build the toy with the nickel or with the Radio Shack rare-earth magnet. |

| Which materials are the best insulators? What factors affect insulation?
If you are the experimental sort, you might want to try some experiments to see how different forms of insulation compare to a thermos. Or you might want to try to improve the performance of a thermos. "Can you keep hot coffee hot all day?" is the ultimate question: If you can answer this question affirmatively it is likely you could base an entire business empire around it... |
