A grade 4 project.  Did they have any sports equipment or toys back then?

some children played soccer, although it was more like modern day rugby. They used a pigs bladder and called it a footballe

oh man i remember those... i loved those. I got first at state.\n\nMy plans were:\n\ncut a rope\ndrops a weight\nmoves a lever\nmoves another lever\ncar goes down the lever\nhits a pillar\npillar falls down\nball drops off of platform on pillar\nrope attached to ball spins a fan\n\nfan is attached to another string that winds a platform \nupwards\n\nplatform hits a switch\nswitch sets a pendulum in motion\npendulum hits a cup of beans\nbeans fall and land on a mousetrap\n\nmousetrap has a piece of metal on it that flips the page in\na book\n\nMouse trap also pulls a piece of string with metal attached to it.\n\nmetal was holding back a ball\nball falls down a bunch of gutters\nball reaches end of gutters, goes thru Ubend pipe\nball hits another pillar with a screw in it\nscrew pops baloon\nsequence done.\n\nIt took my contraption about 20 seconds to complete and was 3'x3'

Two Beds and a Coffee Machine by Savage Garden. I did it for a project in HS too!

have you tried doing a yahoo.com search on the subject. It is quite a common project so there will be plenty of information on the subject.

contact your old school, they will have the info on file, it may take a while to dig it up, but they have it

We did something like this in my physics lab with an Atwood machine.  It was a pully with weights hanging from it.  I can't exactly remember how it worked, but maybe this will inspire you.  We also did something with an air track and these two masses colliding and we'd see which one would go in which diretcion.  You need a nearly frictionless surface, like an air hockey table or ice slab.

Try thinking history wise.  You could research items that were all made or discovered in the same year, that would be the thing in common.  Maybe shoelaces and toothpaste were discovered the same year, something like that, hope this helps

I just finished helping my son with the same project. We used cardboard, gold spray paint, glitter, a small wooden chest from walmart as the sarcophagus, aluminum foil wrapped in gauze for the mummy. He used orange and red tissue paper on toothpicks as torches, cut up straws as the jars in the treasury room, and cut outs of egyptian furniture pasted to the wall. We used playdoh to make the outside of the sarcophagus and an old pair of earrings as the flail and staff. And finally I used some type of cotton material to make spider webs with fake spiders. We used mostly what we had on hand. Total cost of putting it together was less than $10 and my son got an A!!!!

That actually sounds like a lot of fun! People have done it with hockey, so why not basketball? Your grandkids may very well have started a new sports craze!

Well, here is mine that i got graded on. (8th grade) i hope it helped (100%)\nMatter- Anything that has volume or Mass (EVERYTHING HAS MATTER) (Also, matter IS NOT Weight!!!)

OK I'm cheating - I put this answer up a little while ago.\n\nA quick and dirty idea for a physics project would be one based on electromagnetism. Without knowing what grade you're targeting, a simple one that has a fair amount of pizzazz is to build a gauss rifle. Checkout http://sci-toys.com/scitoys/scitoys/magnets/gauss.html\n\nThe sci-toys site has some other pretty cool stuff that you might find useful as well.\n\nFor a more advanced example, you can make a small rail gun that applies similar principles but can have a much larger kick. Just do a search on "rail gun experiment".\n\nEnjoy!!

My kids did this last year at school.  Some suggestions from their class:\n\n*How to tie your shoes\n*How to play an instrument\n*How to locate a place on a map\n*How to hit a baseball\n*How to play a game\n\nHope this gives you some ideas.  Good luck!

Contact your old school and see if they have records on things like that.
