how would i research for a science fair the impact of objects on wood?
111035
I would refine the problem some more first.\nResearching "the impact of objects on wood" is a little vague.  What type of objects?  What do you mean by "impact" in a scientifically testable way?  What type of wood (not just "oak" or "pine", but wooden boards?  wooden chairs?).\n\nThink of what your controls for the experiment will be, what will be your variables, how will you test, ...\nFollow the scientific method.

The following link has some good ideas for different projects. \nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/category0.html\n\nAlso, the following link might help you set up a science fair display board if you have to have one.\nhttp://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentoring/...\n\nA good elementary science fair project is testing the density of various liquids.  All you need is a tall clear glass or vase and various liquids such as... dishwashing detergent, mineral oil, corn syrup, olive oil, water (dyed blue), molasses, or corn oil.  Use at least five different liquids (of different colors... makes the project more attractive) and slowly pour them into the container.  Also, perform the experiment more than once adding the liquids in different orders and note your results.  This project is easy, but it is also very educational and helps to teach the basic concept of density.

Look at the Eifel Tower or a local steel bridge. A model airplane shop could help with the wood and look at an airplane body frame. \nTo calculate, look for a statics book. Engineers need to know how much force each piece has to hold.

I am a former science/math teacher and science fair judge.\nunfortunately your question does not contain enough information for me to help you.  First look at the papers from school to see what is required.  Choose a topic.  Research the topic.  Do the project.  make a report (usually they require those boards that stand up on tables you can buy them).

Here are other sites that might help.  Good luck with your project.

Try eduplace.com or edhelper.com\nCrayola.com is also free and has great ideas.\nThe public library has LOTS of books for crafts and BillNye type experiments.  The books by VANCLEAVE are excellent and easy to follow and implement.\nBelieve it or not, google exactly what you want, you'll find lesson plans too!

see how much weight each surface can hold up. I know u can keep a needle afloat in a cup of water. Although the experiment would depend on what kind of paper and how damp it was.

You can look up the properties of Balsa wood.   I've done this kind of project many times.  The yeild strength of balsa wood depends GREATLY on the dimensions (length and width) of your piece.  The trick to making strong structures is to reduce any bending moments by supporting "flexible" pieces so that they are more rigid.\n\nThe strength of the glue that you use will also determine how strong your structure is.  Perhaps the best glue out there for Balsa wood is the Elmer's Wood Bond glue (Available at Home Depot).  I build furniture from time-to-time... and I'll vouche for this stuff.  Gorilla glue works well too. Superglues are faster, but are not nearly as water resistant (cyanoacrylate polymerizes in water and can create WEAK bonds).

You can't find one that easily, I'ld advise you to talk to a realy good carpenter whose been a carpenter for more than 10 years and ask him to go through your wood list with you and tell you which types of wood absorb faster or more than the others.

I used to judge high school level science projects, so here is what I would like to see:\n1. Make an observation about something that you want to try to explain or figure out. Why does this happen? That is the basic question you are going to answer. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering, but it helps if the answer is not already known to everyone. Floating Diet Coke and Coke cans to see which is denser is perhaps an interesting experiment, but hardly difficult to predict. Using coffee filters to do paper chromatography to separate compounds can be ingenious and dramatic, especially if you find something to test that is a real problem like detecting some sort of carcinogen in food. \n \n2. Research the project. Check in the library and on the internet for possible research that has been done similarly to your problem. Even if it has been done, you might want to retest the answer that other researchers got. Make a list of your research results as your references. Your ideas might change in this stage.\n\n3. Form a hypothesis about what you think will happen. You can have more than one. Your project should be able to be tested by an experiment. \n \n4. Design your experimental procedure. Write it out. Figure out what the variables are in your experiment and try to test only one of them at a time. Keep all the other variables constant. You can change the other variables to see the change in the effect of one variable on another variable. \n\n5. Record your data as you do the experiment. Keep lots of notes so that someone who wants to see your records can see what you have done. \n\n6. Do some calculations with your results. Make a graph, tables, and draw conclusions. \n\n7. Summarize it and state how it could be done differently or better. Here you can speculate about what sort of things might be meant by your results. \n\nIf you do all this stuff, even if your experiment is not dramatic, you are likely to impress the judges with your understanding of the scientific method. Of course, having an exciting and imaginative project is also going to be needed to get first place. \n\nAs for the content, there is so much to choose from it is hard to guide you. If you are interested in biology, you can grow some fast growing plants under different conditions and see what happens. If you like earth sciences you could do a test on greenhouse gases, using a CO2 cartridge to fill a container, plain air in another, and perhaps one with high water vapor content and see which one absorbs the most heat from sunlight. It always helps to find something you are curious about or that concerns you. Rather than listing lots of ideas I would recommend you go to this website and get some ideas, and then discuss it with your teacher:\n\nhttp://sciencebuddies.com/

An easy one for the music topic would be to do it about how classical music affects the growth of plants or if it doesnt. For the dog topics it could be to reasearch about whether its true that their mouth is cleaner than the human mouth ( dont know why you would want to do that....but...anyways) . Another topic  saw once in a science fair was something with the simple atom. For the Atom one you can make an atom display and can explain about it and its importance and make a a poster about it too. Hope this gives you some ideas !! (seems easy ...na ? )
