Chemistry Science Fair Projects You Can Use

Chemistry science fair projects have changed over the years; they've gotten a lot glitzier and much more technically involved. While this is has made it somewhat easier for parents, the modern trend in science fair projects tends to be to buy a science fair kit off the internet rather than make things yourself. We're going to cover old school style chemistry science fair projects that will set you apart.

How is Hockey Related to Sharks?

Sports teams tend to adopt a name that represents them as fierce competitors. A good example of this is the NHL hockey team, the San Jose Sharks. How is hockey related to sharks? Let's find out!

Is E85 Worth the Hype?

Unless you've lived under a rock for the past few months, you've likely heard of E85, the new formulation of fuel for vehicles that is, to hear proponents put it: the wave of the future. For those unfamiliar with it, E85 is fuel that is upwards of 85% ethanol, mixed with 15% gasoline, a formulation that is both more sustainable, and in many cases cleaner for the environment. The fuel is available in 40 out of the 50 states, with locations in the remaining states expected in the near future. But what exactly makes E85 that much different?

The Elixir of Life May Lie in Calorie Restriction

Science has known for some time that a calorie restricted diet will tend to add years to the life span. Laboratory research conducted with mice and dogs dating back to the 1930's demonstrated life extension by as much as 40%. While scientists knew this to be true based on empirical research, exactly why a calorie restricted diet has this surprising effect remained a mystery.

Comparing China - Canada and the US in Innovation

The United States of America is very interested in maintaining its advantage in current lead in high-tech fields and scientific discovery. However other fast-moving superpowers of the future such as India and China are hot on the trail to become the number one nations for innovation. Larger countries with more population have more people to draw from in order to find the geniuses and allow their creative genius to flourish within their societies.

Movement and Muscular Mobility

The muscular system is incredibly complex. Is the muscular system a result of evolutionary processes or the result of intelligent design?

The Housefly - An Introduction

The housefly poses a health hazard because of its indiscriminate choice of food ranging from human and animal feces to food awaiting human consumption.

Spinosaurus The Sailback Theropod

Was spinosaurus the largest of the meat eating dinosaurs? What is true and what is fiction about this dinosaur made popular by Jurassic Park 3. How big was this carnosaur and just what did he/she eat? Read on for the answers.

Geologic History of Denali National Park

Denali national Park lies in the heart of a curved mountain chain about 600 miles long, the Alaska Range. The centerpiece of these high mountains is Denali, the highest peak in North America, at 20,320 feet. About 60 million years ago during the Paleocene epoch, semi-liquid magma intruded into the crust of the earth.

The Resilience & Recovery Traits of Flowering Plants, Robins and Bees - NY Metro Area Winter 2006-07

The anomalous winter of 2006-07 illustrated the resilience of nature because of the opportunity for scientific observation and study it presented. It also demonstrated that certain flowers are able to endure and even survive the stresses associated with prolonged exposure to cold and that certain plants can regenerate buds fast enough to bloom for a second time when Spring's warmth and pollinating insects arrive.

Dark Plasma

Plasmas are more difficult to model than solids, liquids or gases. They exhibit complex behavior and generate electric and magnetic fields. Space plasma is of low density, diffused and often collisionless - properties that it shares with dark matter. Shell structures are found in both dark matter halos in space and plasma crystals in the laboratory. Is dark matter in the form of a plasma of super (i.e. supersymmetric) particles?

The Nervous System – A High Speed Connection

The body's nervous system is an intricate method that relies on a logical series of events to trigger an appropriate body response. Without this system we could not exist. Is it possible that the nervous system looks designed because it is designed?

Darwin – What Changed His Mind?

The work of Charles Darwin was influenced heavily by other scientific minds of the time. Darwin's losses may have simply renewed his interest for proving God had no direct involvement in the affairs of mankind.

Impossible Issues

At its core, evolutionary theory suggests that life evolved through minute changes within organisms over long periods of time. These small changes, we are told, eventually make up all life and the complex systems that comprise our being. Is this theory true?
