Science Project Idea
Could anyone please help me with a Science Project idea?
I prefer something which is kind of unique; something which could stun my classmates.
It would have been good if it involved circuitry and eletronics or even robotics.
Well, I am a 10th grade student. it could be challenging but do not make it too difficult, either.
Thanks,
-Nky

Re: Science Project Idea
Hi;
Are you reasonably good with putting circuits together?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Re: Science Project Idea
Have you ever worked with a 555 timer?

What on earth is a 555 timer?

Re: Science Project Idea
Hi;
let me think an\bout some. The most novel I saw a while back was a germ killer that used a 555 timer chip.

Re: Science Project Idea
Do you have access to parts such as resistors, capacitors, batteries and the timer? Here they do not cost much each but when you put it all together...

Hi nky31;
These look pretty good, some are more complicated but some are not bad.

Re: Science Project Idea
Those are 555 circuits. They do really nice things with only a few parts. It might be too complicated but maybe he can. They will require a few parts and some soldering. Usually a 9 volt battery.
You mean my game player?

Hi;
Then you are a pretty handy hobbyist. Did you see the link I posted? Like any of those or are you looking for something else?

More complicated than those? Like what for instance?
