I need a project that is really good for Science but it cant be a volcano..PLZ HELP!?

some good projects for kids are at-http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/sci/\nthese might be too easy for anyone older than a 3rd grader, but they're still something!\n my little brother is doing the water filter.  he's going to see which of the materials filters water best. good luck! :)

you need to Build Volcano Model... go to this page\nhttp://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/volc_models/models.html

Really easy project: http://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/clinometer/clinometer.html\n\nEasy trebuchet: http://hila.webcentre.ca/projects/trebuchet/index.htm\n\nEasy dome: http://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/dome/dome.html\n\nMeasure the diameter of the sun with geometry: http://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/pinhole_sun/sun_diameter.html\n\n\n\nA suspension bridge would be a nice project because the shape of the main cables that holds up the bridge is a mathematical curve called a "catenary."\n\nhttp://www.infovisual.info/05/028_en.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_bridges\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary  (This article explains that the St. Louis Arch is an inverted catenary, and it even gives it's dimensions and the formula of the curve.  You could make a scale model.)\n\nAnd, it looks like I'm wrong  about suspension bridges.  Their main cables are parabolas, because of the weight of the deck.\n\nHere are some more projects you can check out:\n\nhttp://www.astrocappella.com/activities/cosr_lp.html (make the umbrella rigid by painting plaster on it)\n\nSolar reflectors would be good projects using parabolas: \nhttp://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/solar_energy/Hila_Solar_Energy.html\nhttp://www.cockeyed.com/incredible/parabola/parabola.html\nhttp://www.humboldt.edu/~ccat/solarcooking/parabolic/parabolic_solar_cooker_pg_3_html.htm\nhttp://peacecorps.mtu.edu/solarcookers.htm\nhttp://jc-solarhomes.com/fair/parabola20.htm

Here is a site that has alot of science experiments that work well with the elementary age group.\n\nhttp://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/sci/

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask. It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.\nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice. Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions. Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

Chemical reactions are fun how about a baking soda volcano?\nor you can make an experiment showing air pressure and oxygen use, use a big clear jar( mayo peanut butter) a pie plate a bit of modeling clay a candle and some colored water and some pennies.\nplace the clay  in the center of the pie plate\nplace the pennies 2 or 3 high( you may wish to tape them, make 3 or 4 sets set them around the clay so they will support the jar up from the bottom of the pie plate\nplace a birthday candle into the clay  fill the pie plate with enough colored water to cover the edge of the jar and a little more when it is upside down on the pennies\nnow remove the jar, light the candle and replace the jar over it.\nThe candle will go out. this shows that fire needs oxygen and uses the oxygen in the jar.\nIf your jar is not too big you will see the water rise up into the jar. The gas in the jar has changed, it does not have the same pressure it did before the oxygen was removed. The pressure from the outside air makes the water rise. This demonstrates air pressure. Have the teacher light the candle. try it at home a few times you may have to change jar or glass size to get a good effect.\nI do not recommend the electric pickle experiment.

If this is a science project, check with your science teacher before you begin. The first thing to do is use papier mache to build a model of the volcano (start with a chicken wire cone and put the papier mache over that, so the volcano is hollow inside. Then you can decorate the outside to look like a forest of little trees or whatever you wish. To represent the volcano, you will need to use dry ice, and that's where you will need your science teacher's assistance, because you can get nasty burns handling that stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Put the dry ice under the volcano, and it will send up plumes of vapor, which will represent lava. It will flow over the top of the volcano and roll down the sides, 'annihilating' everything in its path. '

Is this a project that requires you to build or write something about earthquakes?\n\nI would suggest building different types of structures (buildings) to see how each would withstand a quake. The only problem with that is you would have to have a way of testing the structures. You can actually use a board underneath the structures & just move the board back & forth.\n\nYou could make a homemade siesmograph machine. Doesn't take much. Look it up on the net.

I'm not sure about anything realistic or that they can learn from... but a fun activity, if that's all you want - it to get some old wire-mesh or anything else that'll make a good surface, shape it into an open-topped cone with something just inside the top of the cone that will hold a test-tube or small container just below the top of the peak (eg you could shape some wire to hold it, or perhaps tape or somehow else fix a tube in there). You can then build up your own volcano with papier mache, when it's dry paint it (eg white snow near the tip, dark green for trees lower down, or whatever you prefer). You then mix up some white vinegar with some red food colouring to represent lava, pour a little in the bottom of the container, and when you're ready, add a spoonful of baking soda or so to it! It fizzes up and runs down the sides of the volcano...\n\nThis is a pretty full-on project to make I suppose - you may just want to make one and allow the kids to play with it! It's not exactly realistic, but it's fun...

it all depends on if it has to be a certain type of science(biology, chemistry, physics etc.)\nYou could build a volcano\nfor one of my science projects i made a boat with a motor and stuff, just a small one that went in the bathtub.

A volcano is made by a solid that turns into a liquid and has the opportunity to rise through some kind of solid. It helps realism if it includes something like gas, because that is also part of a volcanic eruption.\n\nThere are several great ideas here:http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/volc_models/explosive.html

The answer to this question is so incredibly basic (no pun intended...) that you really shouldn't be bothering with any course in geology if that's what you're taking... and if you're in school my suggestion would be that you drop out, cause from the string of questions you just asked, you're clearly way to lazy to get anywhere anyway. Sorry. In short, do your own freakin homework! Look at your homework, try it yourself, and if there are parts you don't understand, I'd be more than happy to help. But just typing out your homework questions word for word and expecting someone else to do all the work for you? Get a life.\n\nWhen you do start actually thinking, I am able to tell you why the hawaiin volcanoes look like they do, the properties of the magma produced and what is believed to cause volcanism at that location...
