This is a Science Fair category.
Amelia, myself and Maya all went to the Maker Faire together by train.

We ended up eating tocino at a Filipino food truck “Jeepsilog”. Expensive but yummy!

This project is to develop a social network and submit it as a science fair project. The topics covered includes: social sciences (social network analysis), math (graph theory, statistics and matrix operations), and communication. Part of the objective will be to discover the alphas and cliques within a limited network of friends and acquaintances (no actual names will be used).
People are, by nature, social animals. This is of such importance that their connections and relationships, their social network, defines who they are. Families, clubs, church groups and friend circles are examples of social networks. In fact, any activity where people have to come together and do something as a group can become a social network.
Recently, many websites have been created to utilise the social nature of humans. For example: Facebook, LinkedIn, Amazon.com and Ebay and even Schoology, allow people to
and so many more.
It’s always exciting to see all the projects presented at the Science Fair. It was a huge turnout and there was also an exhibit in the Cafetorium by Tesla, USGS, Marine Science Institute and other organizations.
Bovril and Radiance’s project evaluator is an entrepreneur who founded a successful company using an approach very similar to what they’d presented. His comments were encouraging and include “My Special Project!”, “Fun problem”, “Clear hypothesis”, “A very rich area”, “I though the kids had a handle on the basics…”. He commented that he’d like to see more data, lots more data “next year”. Seems he’ll be looking for more in 7th grade. So exciting!

You can get electricity from the sun using solar cells. That means it is possible to reduce greenhouse gas production by using electricity from sunlight. But many things can affect the amount of electricity from solar cells. Here are some things that will do that: trees, houses, clouds, time of year, and where you live in the world.
This is a experiment about how fast sunflowers grow.
How fast do sunflowers grow?
I think that in five weeks the subflowers will have full flower.
