I did a project on oil pollution in the water. We all know that lots of oil gets spilled into the water each year but no effective method for cleaning it up has surfaced. So I took put water in a few containers and poured motor oil into them-try to used the heaviest grade. Then I chose three ways to try to remove the oil from the water, I used a spoon (scooping), cheesecloth (straining), and sand to see if I could make the oil sink to the bottom, combine with the sand and make to easy to scoop or vacuum out. You can use any methods you want though. The great thing about this project is that it applies to real life and will therefore be easy to find connections of how to use this. I did this in 7th grade and got an A!

Kevin from U.S. suggests:

I got 2nd place in school and 2nd place in city with this project!!! Does temperature effect the way a musical instrument sound? You need a tuner (machine used for finding out what note your instument is playing),a flute, and a violin(you can use any other instrument and can use other instruments if you dont have those), and a thermometer fortelling the temperature. Play your instruments in room temperature seeing & recording the temperature, date & the tune theyre in(make sure you remember the note you played). At night when its cold out put the thermometer & instruments outside all nite, in the morning go out & play the same note, again recording the tune, date, & temperature. then put a hairdrier in a small room, put the thermometer and instrument in the room & turn on the hairdrier, close the door and keep it closed for about 3-4 hours. After that go back into the room & close the door turn off the hairdrier & play the instruments recording the time, date & tune.

Repeat this about 6 times.

those seem the best

hope it helps…good luck!!

*check on the internet for ideas at “6th grade projects ideas”

*have little time then make crystals which is super simple

*do soda test on people know also simple

*does tv effect sleep

*does music effect plants

that’s prety much all my ideas if you need anymore anwsers than my email address is [email protected]

Sound in Air vs water vs vacuum vs glass…

try discovering the difference sound waves tat create the beats… or … discover if we hear sound seconds after people actually say it… or…. find the different wave lenghts is music

OR the affect the kind of music people listen has on their sleeping patterns.
