Construct a sundial and research the techniques different cultures use to study time.
R
The relationship between the distance of an object and the viewing perspective (parallax) R The accuracy of time in your area vs. how it is measured R Follow sunspots travelling across the face of the Sun. R Trace the path of the midday Sun across the sky over the course of the year and create an analemma. R Are solar flares harmful to your health? S Investigate the solar system S S Do the Planets Revolve Around the Earth or the Sun? R Build your own sundial (northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere, combined). R R R R Why is The Sun Hot R S Investigate constellations and our solar system. R R S The sun, stars, black holes and supernovas R R R S

Which ancient location instrument is the most accurate: gnomon, astrolabe or Ptolemy's box?
R
Measure the coma (dust cloud) around Comet Holmes and find out if the dust cloud is expanding, and if so, is the rate of expansion accelerating or decelerating? R Calculate the Size of the Sun and Moon R R Can sunspots be used to track and measure the sun's rotation rate and how accurately can they do so? R Why is The Sky Blue R S Show How Columbus Determined His Latitude R Do the Planets Revolve Around the Earth or the Sun? R Build a soda bottle magnetometer to monitor changes in the Earth's magnetic field for signs of magnetic storms R Measure the diameter of the sun R View sunspots through a telescope or 'pinhole' camera R R Use the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory satellite (SOHO) to determine the rotation of the sun.

Use image data from the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory Satellite (SOHO) to measure the motion of a coronal mass ejection.
R
Do sunspot cycles consistently have a faster rise time and a slower decay time? R Determine, using historical data, whether there is a correlation between coronal mass ejection activity and the solar sunspot cycle. R Determining which Solar System object(s) would be most viable during various stages of stellar evolution R The Sun: K-12 Experiments & Background Moon Science Fair Projects Mars Science Fair Projects |
