Title: I need some help.
Post by: ssgaufan on January 28, 2009, 06:33:27 PM

I need some suggestions for a science fair project.  My son is in the fifth grade, so I need to keep it on that level.  I'm not into science that much, so I would appreciate any help.

I did one that I hought was cool when I was young.  

The smokeing machine

What you need

1.  a round clear plastic shampoo bottle
2.  the cap to a bic pen
3.  cotton balls
4.  cigarrettes

It shows the effects of smoling on the lings and what all gets deposited in the body.  The cotton balls act as the lungs inside the shampoo bottle and turn a nasty shade of brown due to the tar and nicotine that comes out of the cigarrette.  

If you want to know how to build the machine just pm me and I will walk you thrpugh how it works.  It's really easy.

Thanks to both of you.  I am on my blackberry right now, so when I get a chance I will pm you on that smoke machine.  My son will make sure that his grandfather sees it too. He's been trying to get him to stop smoking for a while now.
