How do you make a science fair project about volcanoes?
536076
You need to include:\n1. A world map of volcanoes. \n2. Statistics about volcanoes (average number of people died from them, how frequently they erupt and destroy things).\n3. Glossy color pictures of volcanoes.\n4. A scientific basis, such as \n.....a question "why do volcanoes occur?"\n.....specific hypotheses as explanations of natural phenomena (a short guess about why volcanoes erupt before the kid does any research, such as "I thought volcanoes erupted because it was like a big pimple. I wasn't sure, so I decided to research this topic.")\n.....research about why (check the Internet, encyclopedia or library)\n.....a conclusion "volcanoes happen because ..."\n.....and "my hypothesis was wrong. I found that volcanoes are not like pimples. They are more like open arteries, because once they erupt they keep spewing until they go dry."\n5. All the good volcano projects have videos of live volcanoes (use an LCD monitor).

First mould a volcano with plastercine or play dough.\n\nThen fill it with bicarbonate of soda, baking powder or health salt.\n\nGet some vinegar and then mix it with reddish-orangey (Lava colour) ink or food colouring.\n\nThen pour your coloured mixture with the bicarbonate of soda, baking powder or health salt in the volcano.\n\nHey Presto! The bubbles should start to rise. \n\nWhen Bicarbonate of Soda is mixed with an acid liquid (Vinegar)it releases the gas carbon dioxide (CO2): \n\nNaHCO3     +     H+     ----->     Na+     +     H20     +     CO2\n(soda)         (acid)           (sodium)       (water)        (gas)\n\n^ Above is the word equasion. If you are good at science you might be able to understand this.\n\nI hope I helped you.

Baking soda, vinegar, orange food coloring... Volcano!\n\nDon't do the whole volcano, just do half of one. Basically, you do a cross section of it. Put a tube down the middle of it. The front part of your project will basically look like a volcano, but the part in the back will be a cross section that shows the different levels of rock inside a volcano, and how pressure builds up inside.\n\nResearch what happens during an eruption, and famous places that volcanos have erupted.

Earthquakes, use jello full of sand, and observe how it shakes when fractured.  Tsunami, create pool of water with a slope as the shore, and watch waves hit shores.  Volcanoes, build sandy hils and use something like coke and mentos to similate lava under pressure, watch it erupt.  Landslides, build sandy hills with steep sides, and watch how slides can occur.  Using nothing more than sand, jello, water, coke and mentos, and with imagination, you can create all these basic "natural disasters".

Curiously, I could not find a comprehensive listing.  This site might be helpful, however, or at least give you a start.\n\nhttp://dir.yahoo.com/Science/Earth_Sciences/Geology_and_Geophysics/Volcanology/Volcanoes

Well i remember I did a research on hidroelectric plants. And the good thing is you can make aworking model using some water and a bicycle generator hooked to a small light bulb (holiday decoration ones or others like that) also any kind of research that involves things the evaluator can actually see working and moving is always a plus. Just stay away from volcanoes, while they ARE very interesting, its been done quite a few times. Hot air ballons are cool, some china paper glued to make the ballon and a aluminum plate with a candle to keep the air warm (you inflate it with a hair dryer) and you have yourself a working model, plus you have all the data refering how hot air is less dense than cold air etc...there are a lot of cool things you can do out ther and believe me Internet IS going to be VERY useful

What a fun project!  Here are some quick ideas:\n\nMercury and the Moon are both basically rocks, covered with craters.\n\nVenus is a tough one. It's always surrounded by clouds, so you could go with something light grey and smooth.  But, under the clouds, its surface is pretty much a volcanic wasteland.  It's hot and  has lots of lava flows. You could almost use burnt charcoal from a barbecue, or maybe melted plastic, or a marshmellow that's been toasted.\n\nEarth's distinctive feature it that it's covered in water. So maybe go with blue glass, or, if you want to get fancy, somehow come up with something you can keep wet.\n\nMars is kind of sandy.\n\nJupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all gas giants, which means that they don't really have a surface.  They're just layers and layers of clouds, going down thousands of miles. So maybe make them out of cotton?\n\nTake a look at the source for pictures and more info on the planets.

Volcano is the classic answer.  Make a volcano out of clay and add some baking soda, vinegar, and red food coloring for the eruption.  You could use styrofoam balls from walmart or a craft store along with doll rods or straws to make a model of the solar system or an atom.  The links below are to some websites that have samples of some projects you could do.  If you tell me a little more specifically what kind of project you want, I could help more.

Here's a site with alot of different ideas and difficulty levels with instructions.  Maybe you can find something here.\n\nOr you can tell us more about what you are wanting to do and what you like and we might be more helpful on here.\n\nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask. It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.\nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice. Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions. Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

Use chicken wire to make a volcano like thing, then cover it with plaster. paint it and add trees and stuff like that. then mix vinegar, red dye and baking soda together to make the lava.
