    Advice needed about a science project

    I have about 6 months. I looked at your links and will definitely use them as a catalyst to my research, thanks. I’ll see if I can find a professor to show me some of the basics. I have dealt with a professor at the university once before with the extraction of Lycopene. I’ll probably ask the...

    Blood Splatter Lab: Exploring Height & Area

    Hello, So recently my teacher assigned a blood splatter lab. The lab consisted of using fake blood and changing an aspect of how blood would collide with surface e.g. angle, height, etc. Then we were suppose to observe the change in result e.g. volume, area, etc. I did height and the area of...

    How Can You Measure Star Distances Using Ancient Astronomical Techniques?

    Hello, Well let me give a pithy description of what’s going on. There are 6 fixed stars (constellation) within a building and an observatory, which is the only place measurements of distances and positions can be calculated. Now I need to find the distance to each start using parallax methods...

    Bridge Building with Pasta Assignment

    Well the picture I supplied you with is just a rough sketch to get ideas going. The detailed design was actually really good. If I recall correctly we supported 15 kilograms. We found after that we should have spent more time looking at the angles and how to spread the stress out better...
