Let’s make an ultra-rich juice

In summer, many people have probably experienced freezing a plastic bottle of sports drink and, when sipping the partially melted liquid, feeling that it tastes “stronger than usual!” Let’s make this phenomenon the theme of a science project: What mechanism causes it? The key is a phenomenon called freezing point depression.
Solutions containing substances like sugar freeze later and melt sooner than pure water.
Based on this, you can investigate and summarize how the perceived increase in flavor strength differs depending on the type of beverage you freeze.

Static electricity experiment

Speaking of static electricity, it’s that sharp little zap you get in winter, but you may also remember creating static in elementary school by rubbing a plastic sheet on your hair or rubbing a straw with a tissue.
When you do that, your hair sticks to the sheet, or the tissue sticks to the straw, right? You might not have understood how it worked back then, but as a high school student, you should be able to grasp and explain the mechanism clearly.
Try summarizing it in your notebook, and then actually rub various materials together to compare how static electricity occurs and organize the differences you observe.
In conclusion
We introduced ideas for simple independent research projects and crafts that you can complete in a single day.
There were quite a few themes that seemed pretty interesting, and all of them are easy to finish in one day if you put your mind to it.
Please use this article as a reference and give them a try! The key is to write a solid summary report afterward.
Do your best so that your project turns out so impressive that no one would guess you did it in just one day!
