we are doing a science project for 6 grade son what is an abstract?
152708
an abstract is about 150 words or so in a paragraph (except you dont indent the first sentence)  It should include the main points of the project, hypothesis, results, (number of test subjects used if applicable in this case), etc.\n\nSince its 6th grade i doubt it has to be that accurate\n\nabstract comes before introduction on a seperate page\n\nsee link below

Tell them to bring in working models of "alternate forms of energy".  It might be a little tricky because some of the stuff is flamable.....but I remember having this fair in third grade and it was a great learning experience.  One kid brought in a giant 5 gallon jar half full of pig crap and then showed how it emits gas that could then be used in a combustion engine.  Amazing.  But think...obviously solar...there's got to be the electric type motors....models of combustion engines are going to come in using the corn oil approach etc.

Well see as though you dont really have much time for a project that involves a control... But here is an awesome listing that has loads of ideas with explicit instructions not to mention material list for a wider variety of projects. Since I have no clue what realm of science you were intrested in... This has a little bit of them all! Good Luck!\n\nhttp://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/scifairstudio/ideas.html

Take some balloons and blow them up and watch them slowly lose the air in side over a few days.  Then explain what Osmosis is.   : )   While you have the balloons out fill some with helium and show the kids how they can make their voices change.  Have your video camera ready this will be a hoot!!!

you can pick and choose from this site, I won't bother explaining it, since we all know it, but this site is aimed at kids:\n\nhttp://www.sciencemadesimple.com/static.html\n\nYou might even just want to do the first parts and the last parts, but it depends on the age of the kids and stuff like that.

I think it's more properly called a research paper abstract.\n\nIt's a short summary of the findings of a research paper. A hundred pages in a hundred words, without citations, that kind of thing.

Measure concentration. Use a dummy (with water only) measuring that with a LabPro probe. Then compare that to a certain volume of a variable soft drink. I did this in high school, hope it works!
