By: Emerson Y.Year: 2023School: Serrano IntermediateGrade: 7Science Teacher: Andi Suter Driving over conventional speed bumps can be a bumpy ride for both vehicles and passengers, often leading to potential damage to a car’s chassis and other critical systems. Recognizing this issue, Emerson embarked on a science project to develop a solution that could minimize the risk of harm …
By: Jayden ThiYear: 2023School: Renascence School InternationalGrade: 6Science Teacher: Hannah Juang In this project, Jayden conducted an experiment to explore the impact of different liquids on the speed of a hydraulic elevator. By constructing a mini-hydraulic elevator using everyday materials, Jayden aimed to determine the quickest working liquid for this type of elevator. Water served as the control, …
By: Hussein H.Year: 2021School: Serrano IntermediateGrade: 7Science Teacher: Holly Danielson Hussein’s project is about testing different types of blade designs on a wind turbine. Hussain used different types of blades in the project and altered the angle for each one in different trials. He measured the energy produced by counting the RPM of the wind …
By: Alex L.Year: 2021Grade: 9School: University HighScience Teacher: Kevin Kasper Problem StatementDrones are unable to withstand strong winds. Various natural disasters result in large amounts of wind–a notable one being wildfires, with global warming on the rise. In California alone, over 50,000 wildfires occurred last year. To control wildfires, workers utilize aerial vehicles to scout …
By: Arian SalariGrade: 9Year: 2021School: Woodbridge HighScience Teacher: Angie Olivares The purpose of this project was to find out which winglet design would be the most efficient and counter the problems winglets in general solve the most effectively. I chose this project because I know that it isn’t as common as your typical “volcanic explosion …
