What is a good physics project that doesn't involve projectile motion?

It can be pretty much anything as long as the materials are not impossible to find and it needs to involve a model. However it CAN'T be projectile motion.

Help please?What is a good physics project that doesn't involve projectile motion?Ferrofluids!



Ferrofluids make a very interesting physics science project because almost nobody has

ever heard of them, they make a very cool demonstration, its easy to understand,

and easy to make yourself. Your science teacher may not even have heard of it.



Here are a couple of videos of ferro fluids in action, and description of how to make it:

You can explain what it is, how to make it, demonstrate its properties using permanent magnets

(neodymium recommended), as well as electromagnets, and describe some of the applications

for it. Place a container of ferrofluid over an

operating speaker and watch it respond to the

music as the electromagnetic coil operates.



There are plenty more videos on youtube listed under 'ferrofluid', as well as a link below

for you to learn more about it:
