An Easy Project That’s Fun to do

In this day and age when the fuel crisis is so much in the news, think about science fair projects in alternative energy sources. The planet’s fossil fuels are what have driven our technology so far. Where would we be without coal, and petroleum? The unfortunate thing is that these are non-renewable resources.

Very soon the deposits of coal and petroleum are going to run out. Then there will be no cars running on petrol or diesel. The electricity will be supplied by either hydro plants or by nuclear reactors. Both of which are rather costly to set up. This is why the world is searching for a simple and alternative solution to its energy needs.

The science fair projects that touch upon alternative energy are not only touching a hot chord, but can be great fun to do. One of the most popular energy sources that are being experimented with today is Solar Energy. Any project with this topic is bound be a potential winner. To ensure that it is a winner, take a look at these points as well.

With Solar Energy you get to do some cool experiments and can use the results well. Think about boiling an egg in your own Solar Cooker! Or forget about buying new batteries as you race your toy car with the aid of solar power. You can even add a remote control to it if you are feeling more adventurous.

The whole idea is to have fun. Don’t get worried if you can’t manage the remote control yet. You can always do the somewhat more complicated stuff next year. Maybe a boat in a tub is easier for you to manage right now. If you can make two of them you can also hold a racing challenge. There is so much that you can do.
