Re: Science Project Idea
You would need a solar panel for that.
You can build that?

Re: Science Project Idea
It requires machanical parts, a large photovoltaic cell, motors and they estimate the cost as 50 - 100 dollars USD.
This site here might help you with some ideas in case that does not work.

They are supposed to have a lot of choices.

Re: Science Project Idea
Why was the thread moved to Help Me?
I want something that will stun my classmates
If you would call me your classmate, I am already stunned by the fact that you do not find them stunning.
heliotracker
Why would it be stunning?
Do you have a facebook account?

Re: Science Project Idea
Hi;
I have looked for a simple heliotracker but can not find one.
Have you checked this out?
http://www.sciencebuddies.org/
There are lots of ideas there.
Here is a very strange project to cook food using the sun.

I have to go cook see you later.

Re: Science Project Idea
I realize that he may not eat hotdogs, I do not. But you can put other types of small food in there too. What class would not be amazed when they saw a snack being solar cooked?

Re: Science Project Idea
How about a making another planet? Make this one a little larger with slightly less gravity and a higher O2 percentage.
Hi Agnishom;
I am glad to hear he is getting better.
