Science Expo 2016

My science expo experiment was very simple. I was basically observing if water could float on other water. Good news, it can as long as part of the water has a higher density. This experiment was not my first one though, my first one was how things biodegrade but I underestimated the time limit and had to change it at the last minute. I had a panicky moment then. Luckily the site I got the first experiment from also had other options available. I chose can water float on water simply because it looked simple, easy and interesting.

I worked on this experiment with Nobody which is me saying I worked on my own. I don't really like group work as a whole, maybe if I go with one of my close friends for a project that will on,y take a hour or two but not for something as big as the science expo. I think by working on my own I got things done a lot quicker.

When I was testing the experiment I had a bit of a embarrassing moment when I didn't read what the website said and thought you only had to but 250ml of water into each bottle. Turns out you need to put 500ml in each bottle. Whoops, muy bad. My experiment worked a lot better when I filled each bottle up with 500ml worth of water.

I REALLY enjoyed making my poster but I do regret not taking a pillow with me because my knees have NEVER been the same since... I think I emotionally scarred them.


The judge was really nice and I think he understood my experiment quicker then other people.

I was really nervous about the science expo because I didn't feel prepared but now that I've done it I feel I actually did know it. My science expo went quite well when I figured out I should shorten it to keep people's attention.
