Chemistry Science Project
You are to choose from one of the following topics and develop your own project using the scientific method-
Hypothesis, Materials, Procedure, Results, Conclusion
Be sure to have a large sampling size (5-8) and perform each part 5-8 times (trials), (control vs variable)
Project: worth 100 points (test grade for 2nd trimester)
Must Include: 1) Poster board- most of this should be covered. Results, charts, graphs, and pictures of you doing the work; include pictures showing all the trials and samples.
2) Your experiments (numerous trials)
3) 3-5 page report on background or information related to your topic and a bibliography.
** Be sure to explain the chemistry involved in your project.
Projects to choose from:
1) Sunscreen effectiveness
2) Water testing (not bottled)
3) Soil Testing
4) Corrosion of metals
5) Acid Rain
6) Laundry detergent effectiveness
Begin Testing ASAP
You may work in groups of two as long as both students are taught by the same teacher. * However, the project will be due at the earliest date between the two students.*
You may be excused from a Science Fair Project if you are on Team A, B, or C of Science Olympiad and compete in events.
