In this science fair project, use the "frightened grasshopper" solar-powered toy to explore how solar energy is converted into kinetic energy. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract,...

Science experiment that demonstrates how energy is transferred. Includes full list of materials, procedures, and scientific explanation of how the tension in the catapult causes an object to travel far.

Construct a device to measure the height of a bounced ball, then compare the bouncing heights of various types of balls. Record the results on a chart.

Experiment shows students how to use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state. Teacher's notes provide background information.
