Christmas Chemistry With Toys

This assignment requires that you select, or yourself design and make a toy that demonstrates one or more scientific principles (Chemistry).

Do not select a toy that is too complicated or very expensive. It is best to select a toy that clearly and simply demonstrates a principle of Chemistry. Whatever the toy is, you should have figured it out completely.

The project has five parts:

1. Selecting a toy

2. Internet/Library research on the Chemistry principles behind the toy

3. Preparing a written report including the following aspects
a. Physical description of the toy
b. At least two photocopied articles that pertain directly to the principle(s)
upon which the toy operates

4. Demonstration of the toy and scientific principles behind it to the class using a
PowerPoint presentation or personally developed web-site:

Operation, explanation and the Chemistry of the toy behavior is the most
important part. You must show that you have used observational skills,
made up a hypothesis, predicting the behavior, making quantitative
observations, controlling different variables and your own experimenting.
You should also include ideas about how to improve the toy.

5. Answering questions from the class and the teacher

Total time available for presentation to class: 10 minutes or less
