On this page about Water Science Fair Projects we are going to look at some of the interesting properties of water, how its made, and give you some ideas for projects. I have put together an ebook of four water science projects and experiments for $2.79. Just click the button below and pay through PayPal and its an instant download.
You will need Adobe pdf reader installed on your computer to view the ebook. Most likely you already have it, if not its a free download here...Adobe Reader.
Water has the chemical formula H2O. One atom of oxygen combines with two atoms of hydrogen to form a molecule of water. An H2O molecule is represented by the diagram below.
Water Science Fair Projects... Some Interesting Features Of WaterOne interesting aspect of water is that it expands or takes up more volume or space when it freezes. This explains why plumbing pipes can burst in winter when they freeze. It is also the reason that ice floats in water. Ice is less dense or weighs less than the same volume of liquid water. Water actually has its greatest density at 4 degrees celsius or about 39 degrees fahrenheit. Based on what you now know about the properties of water can you explain the process of how a pond freezes in winter? Keep in mind that cold air on the surface is removing heat from the pond and that the density of water changes when it cools. Water Science Fair Projects...How water Is MadeDid you know that water is being made around you all the time? Any time a hydrocarbon fuel(things that will burn and contain carbon and hydrogen) water is produced as a byproduct. When gasoline is burned in an auto water is produced. When propane or natural gas is burned that also produces water. The same thing occurs when you burn wood or coal, water is made. All of these things contain oxygen and hydrogen. These two elements combine when the fuels burn to form water.
Some Ideas For Your Water Science Fair Projects1) Does bottled water have chlorine in it? 2) Will pressure cause ice to melt even if the temperature is below freezing? 3) Do an experiment to see if ice is less dense than liquid water 4) Does hot or cold water freeze faster? 5) Will adding salt to water affect its freezing point? How about sugar? Or vinegar? 6) What happens when salt is added to ice? Why? 7) Which will make dried beans swell faster...soaking them in tap water, distilled water, or salt water? 8) Using a test kit, check water samples for lead, for bacteria.
I hope you have enjoyed these ideas for water science fair projects.
