Science Project Light
I suggest trying a light bulb science project at your next science fair. It’s an easy quick science project . There are many experiments you can do using a standard light bulb. I have created a list of experiments you can try.
Can switching to a different brand/type of light bulb save you money?
Does turning on and off a light affect its lifespan?
Which blub shines farther, xenon or halogen?
What type of bulb product more heat?
What type of bulb is most efficient?
Should you leave a light bulb on when leaving the room to save power?
Please take proper electrical safety precautions when performing these tests. The first electric light was made in 1809 by Humphry Davy, an English scientist. He experimented with electricity and when he connected wires and a piece of carbon to a battery, the carbon glowed, producing light. Thomas Edison tried thousands of experiments when he was inventing the incandescent light bulb before creating a long last bulb.
Make Your Own Light Bulb
Materials you will need to make a bulb:
* One small jar
* Cork stopper for a lid
* Three feet of shielded copper wire
* One 6-volt battery
* Thin iron wire
This is the basic layout of Thomas Edison’s light bulb experiments. To create a vacuum use a vacuum pump or let a candle burn inside the closed jar until it goes out. Repeat your experiment with or without vacuum or oxygen in the closed jar.
