Lighting a bulb without electricity

Aim: To charge up a light bulb using static electricity alone. Materials required: A light bulb. A plastic comb. Procedure: Go to a dark room. Take the comb and run it through your hair thoroughly several times. Hold the comb to the metal contacts at the base of the light bulb. Observe the filament of the bulb. You will see small pulses of light. Scientific Explanation: As you rub the comb through your hair, the friction between your hair and the comb cause electrons to jump from your hair to the comb, giving it a negative charge. When you touch the comb to the bulb, the electrons from the comb flow through the filament of the bulb and light it up briefly.

Sunspots

Aim: To make a simple apparatus to view sunspots without harming your eyes. Materials required: A sheet of white paper. A telescope or if telescope is not available, a shoe box with a hole on one of the ends. Procedure: Hold the white sheet of paper in your hand or clip it onto a clipboard. Point the objective lens of the telescope towards the sun and the eyepiece towards the sheet of paper so that you get a circular image of the sun on the paper. Adjust the focusing knob on the telescope to get a sharp image. Observe and see if you can see dark spots on the bright disc like image of the sun. You may have to do the experiment on several days to see these spots. If you do not have a telescope available, simply make a hole in one end of a shoe box and face the side with the hole towards the sun so that the image of the sun falls on the opposite side of the shoebox. Scientific explanation: The sun is not uniformly of the same temperature. Some spo

Fire Water Balloon

Materials The materials required for this science fair project: - 1 matchbox - 1 candle - 1 yellow colored balloon - 1 blue colored balloon - Half a cup of water Procedure 1. For this experiment, the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount of water in the balloon. 2. Inflate the yellow colored balloon and tie it up. 3. Pour half a cup of water into the blue colored balloon before inflating it to the same size as the yellow color balloon and tie it up. 4. Light up the candle. Be careful when using match sticks to avoid causing fires, or burning yourself. 5. Hold the yellow colored balloon on top of the lit candle. Observe and record what happens. 6. Hold the blue colored balloon on top of
