hey, well, i'm in eighth grade and i've seen a lot of great projects...is it just a project on anything scientific or is it in a certain area (physics, chemistry, etc)?\n\n\nfeel free to e-mail me\n\ncaty_rocks_ur_sox@yahoo.com

go to your blacksmiths ( i recommen WH Blacksmiths) don't forget to take about a ton of iron ore with you this can be found in Mordor or just that massive mountain by your house boy, after you have mined there and taken the ore in a wheelbarrow to the blacksmiths (or public forge) smelt the iron in the forge until it becomes soft and creamy, use a small tea spoon and if it melts in the ore then its ready. Pour the contents onto a bracket of somesort (please search on yahoo for the proper name) and pour cold water over the mould to cool the ore and create a chemical reaction. Get a big hammer and whack the sword and shield in to shape, hammer it in the morning and hammer in the evening just hammer all over the "stuff". Once you have zen. You can now sharpen the sword on a wheel and one of those foot pedals that make the wheel spin, lots of sparks will fly off, so wear protective goggles and ask an adult to help you. Tie a piece of string to the shield as a handle (at this point you will probably be on the school bus trying to get everything perfect and finished so this will save time). Sorry I cannot help you make a flail, try Walmart. Hope this helped , I made a shield and sword for my sons "Narnia" playset.

This is an answer I gave a few weeks ago. It helped me to get from failing Chemistry to University....maybe it will help you to understand the periodic table as well.\n\nMy Chemistry teacher taught me a great story which helped me learn the elements, which groups they were in, which periods, how many electrons they had etc and resulted in me going from a grade F to B. Every kid should learn this.\n\nHorrible Hairy Little Begger Boys Catch Newts On Friday Near Naples, Magnificent Albert Sits Planning Some Clever Arrangement Keeping Calm.\n\nOk, looks crazy until you break it down;\n\nH He Li Be B C N O F Ne Na, Mg Al Si P S CL Ar K Ca\n\nThen put it into the table\n\nH\nHe\nLi Be B C N O F Ne\nNa Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar \nK Ca\n\nYou will need to line them up because Yahoo has left align, but the trick is the story. \n\nThe groups 1-8 tell you how many electrons are in the outer shell, the periods tell you how many shells etc\n\nHope this helps!

You would complete dissolve it in strong acids and then separate the metals by qualitative analysis techniques.  Not simple and very expensive.

http://www.scioly.org/obb/board.php?FID=35\n\nThis is where I get help for such projects.  If you can't find the information, start a new topic and ask your question.  It is a great science project help site!

look up the periodic table...duh

A good starting point is wikipedia:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-electron_theory_of_metals\n\nWhen you read this link, follow some of the referenced links for details on the specific applications you listed...\n\nHope this helps!

:) Thanks for taking all the trouble in finding me to send me a question. I Feel flattered. I am not a chemist..but i would suggest that you try searching google/yahoo with the following word combination:\n1. "Voltaic cell"+experiment+laboratory\n2. "Voltaic cel"+"kitchen laboratory"\n\nand so on.. I am sure you will find some answers. good luck! I will try to pull out more answers and try to send them to you. by the way my email id is same as the handle..scientist_atlarge.

do the project on electronic configurations of different elements or on the characteristics of each element in the periodic table such as lithium is the metal lighter than water, element with highest affinity is chlorine and things like that. u can do this for each and every element. another thing is that the periodic table has been completed so u can do some project relating to that.

Here is some interesting facts on elements:\n\nhttp://www.pidc.com/prod_facts.html\n\nInteresting facts about gems and precious stones:\n\nhttp://www.indygem.com/productinfo_interesting.htm\n\nMetals and Alloys\n\nhttp://chemistry.about.com/od/metalsalloys/\n\nI hope that I found enough facts for you.  If you want more, just ask.  {smile}

You need to look at a Periodic Table. The farther to the left of the table an element is, the more metallic it is.

hi there, i have a great webpage for you.\n\nthis guy built a "periodic table table" - a big table in his garage made out of wood, and a storage space underneath each element in the table that can be opened up.  inside the box he has stored various samples of that element.  all of this information is online, and includes pictures and information including the price he paid for each one.  it's great.\n\nhere's the site:\nhttp://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/\n\nscroll down a bit and click somewhere on the wooden table to see what he has for that element.\n\nEDIT:  i guess i should add, a lot of his samples are listed as "donated" but usually include a link to whatever supplier donated them, and i think you could probably follow the link to find out the cost. \n\nmore info here: \nhttp://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/HowToGetOne.html\n\ncheers!

I found a web site with a lab on how to figure out releative density of a given liquid hope it helps.  It has all the instructions and materials needed listed on the site
