Liquids and Science Fair Projects

No matter what field of science  you want to do your science fair project in, you can use liquids. If you want to do your project in Physics you can use the density of the different fluids around to make a good comparative study. You can use different materials to test the density of the fluids. Anything from a pencil to a balloon can be used to check buoyancy of the liquid as well.

If you wish to use chemistry as your subject of choice, you may use something more exciting like acids. However as these can be potentially dangerous these experiments are best done under adult supervision. That does not mean that all chemistry science projects involving fluids have to use acids. You could even do solvent tests. How much is each liquid on your list able to dissolve?

Did you know that water is known as the “Universal Solvent”? That is because it is able to dissolve more salts or chemical compounds than most others. So how about doing a science project to see if that is really true? Pick some other liquids and get yourself a few common salts. Make sure none are going to react. Check with your teacher before you begin the actual experiment.

If that seems a bit too much work check out this experiment.  Will the bowling ball sink or float? There truly is a whole world of experiments and science projects out there. All you need to do is pick one which matches your level of experience, your interest and your budget. All the best.
