Make an Electroscope

An electroscope is a device that is used to demonstrate properties of static electricity. Static electricity is a phenomenon that takes many forms. It can be an electric shock you can get after walking over a carpet, or it can be a lightning bolt from the sky. The electroscope demonstrates the repulsive force that is exerted between two nearby objects with the same electric charge. In this activity you will learn to make your own electroscope. You won't need any exotic materials for this activity, all that is needed is readily available and can even be found in your house. First of all you must brush-up your knowledge about static electricity. The following links can help to a large extent; they have been listed according to their level of presentation:  To make an electroscope all you need is listed below:  1. An empty glass jar such as a jam jar.  2. A length of stiff copper wire about 12 cm long (or a large steel paper clip).  3. A sheet of aluminum kitchen f

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
