Super Science Projects for all
Making your own projects requires much work. Many times you
become discouraged in the process and never complete the project.
Developers at scienceproject.com recognized the need for easy to
follow project guides and created an extensive database with such
projects. In this process you will gain a much valuable
experience.
If you like fishing than you may want to try the following
project.
How strong are
nylon fishing lines?
Introduction:
The ability of a material to
resist breaking under tensile stress is one of the most important
and widely measured properties of
plastics including nylon filaments used as fishing line. Most
plastics stretch under tensile force and become longer. The
percentage of increase in length that occurs before it breaks under
tension is called the ultimate elongation of a plastic.
Project
description:
The amount of force required to break a line is listed on its
packaging, but it may not always be true. This project is an attempt
to measure tensile strength of nylon fishing line with simple
equipment.
Details of this
project:
More details or support for this project is available at the members
section of ScienceProject.com web site. Material needed for
experiment or a science kit about this title may be available at
MiniScience.com.
However, if you particularly don't care much for fishing don't
worry, scienceproject.com definitely has another project that will
suit your preference.
