...change of plan

WOMG!!! i just found the most awesomest (is that right?) site about how to set up the equipment for the earthquake one. its got pictures and explanation, like omg yay! gotta love google!

okay so im gonna do which building design withstands earthquakes best now. i am so proud of myself (Y) and i've decided if i have time i might do the other one as well. this is soooo cool! not that i have finally considered, time to start buying the equipment...

...oh here's the picture of how im going to set it up, like shown on the website

...i dunno how long it will take me to get it all gathered, but hopefully it will turn out right. from this idead, another one just popped into my head, bridge designs, yeah? i might try and link it together. it will be a challenge, but i am willing to take it.

To do or not to do... decided

okay so i couldn't find much help on how i should set up my experiment on 'which building design withstands earthquakes best?' i need some serious suggestions. If not, then i shall start with Does an egg float or sink in water? What if we change the density of the water by adding a substance? E.g. Salt, Sugar.

i read veronica's blog and her first choice was similar to mine, i hope mine's not easy, ms zhang xD well i don't think it is i really wanna do something on eggs hehe or with acids and food colouring

yes, i know, i havent thought much about it but here's what i've got with the egg float one:

Aim: To investigate and compare how much sugar or salt it takes to make normal tap water dense enough for an egg to float in and if more sugar is needed than salt or vice versa.

Hypothesis: More sugar will be required to make the egg float than the salt as it is more soluble. At least 5 teaspoons of salt and 10 teaspoons of sugar would make the eggs float.

Dependant Variable: Amount of salt/sugar required to make the eggs float

Independent Variable: Type of substance added to the water in order to increase the water density.

THIS IS HARD !!!

So I was flipping through my science stuff the other day and I realised that I've totally forgotten about my blog D: and checking the Project sheet I read that the first blog entry is due on Thursday and i havent quite started. so here I am, still thinking of ideas on what to do =="

i've got two ideas on what to do, which building design withstands earthquakes best? or Does an egg float or sink in water? What if we change the density of the water by adding a substance? E.g. Salt, Sugar.

hmm so i dunno, someone help me decide xD
