My Science Project Ideas:

Aerodynamics of a Football
I want to do this project because I like football, and I am interested in aerodynamics and how things move. I am also interested in the way a football is built so it can move through the air so well in a spiral motion and what makes that spiral motion move it so well.

Which Wing Design Creates the Greatest Lift?
I am interested in this project because I want to know what makes planes go faster, stay steady in the air, or makes them land better. I want to know what to do if there is a lot of wind in the air. The aerodynamics of airplanes help things fly faster, more steadily, or smoother.

Go, Gadget, Go! Building Robots with LEGO® Mindstorms®
I am interested in this project because I like to build things. I am very interested in architectural work and engineering work. This project will show me how to create something to perform tasks to help with normal everyday life.
