• Make 3D models of the atoms of the three isotopes of hydrogen. Show neutrons, protons and electrons.
• Discuss anatomy and physiology. Visit a cadaver to reinforce what you learned.
• Learn about people who have made scientific contributions, including Henri Becquerel, Niels Bohr, Marie Curie, Albert Eintein, Enrico Fermi, Otto Hahn, Ernest Lawrence, Lise Meitner, Wilhelm Roentgen and Ernest Rutherford.
• Build an electroscope. Put a radiation source on the terminal.
• Build a model of a reactor. Make a presentation explaining how the reactor works. Explain the function of the fuel, control rods, shielding, moderator and any cooling material. Explain how a reactor could be used to change nuclear energy into electrical energy or make things radioactive.
• Make and use a simple electromagnet and demonstrate magnetic attraction and repulsion.
• Discuss chemicals. Find several chemicals found in your home and explain how they are safely stored and disposed. Discuss the difference between a chemical reaction and a physical change.
• Define inorganic chemistry
• Conduct an experiment to show three different ways of protecting iron or steel from rusting.
• Find out why aluminum doesn't rust the way iron does.
• Conduct an experiment in which one metal makes another metal deposit from solution.
• Explain what takes place in terms of the activity series of metals.
• Discuss the formula for ozone and were ozone is found. Discuss how it is a pollutant but also necessary for a healthy environment.
• Find out the formula for carbon dioxide and how it can cause the greenhouse effect
• Find out the formula for sulfur dioxide. Discuss acid rain and pH. Measure the pH of rain and discuss how acid rain can be prevented.
• Demonstrate the flow of heat energy. Discuss the ideas of heat, temperature, kinetic energy, calorie, and laws of thermodynamics.
• Discuss the following forms of energy: heat, light, mechanical, electrical, chemical and atomic. Find out the devices for each of the forms of energy that will convert each into another form of energy. Describe the idea of trade-offs in energy use.
• Discover the main salts, gases and nutrients in seawater. Describe some important properties of water. Explain how the animals and plants of the ocean affect the chemical composition of the seawater and explain how differences in evaporation and precipitation affect the salt content of the oceans.
• Conduct experiments to show the differences in strength and heat conductivity of wood, plastic and metal. Explain how this affects building design.
• Develop a project that would help solve an environmental problem, reduce negative environmental effect, or increase environmental awareness in your community. Include plans for a specific project that your post could do.
