An Asian Elephant named Ashya knows that three plus four is more than one plus five. Naoko Irie, a researcher at the University of Tokyo presented the findings of a recent elephant study at the International Society for Behavioral Ecology's annual meeting in Ithaca, New York.

The Universe... The incredible difference in scale between the tiny world we live in every day and the vastness of all time and space begs the question of whether we will ever be able to grasp the fullness of the cosmos. But that doesn't stop us from trying. In fact, contemplating the great unknowns must be one of the oldest hobbies in human experience.

Solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon, as it takes place when moon comes between sun and earth in a straight line. During the eclipse the moon passes over the surface of the earth. As we are at earth and we will be able to see that moon is going to block the light of sun as it totally covers the sun. This can only take place during a new moon, when sun and moon is in conjunction, as seen from earth. This is how solar eclipse takes place.

Finding quality scientific easy science fair projects doesn't have to be a big research chore. Just keep in mind that you will be in competition with every other family who is looking for that special science project to win the fairs with. It is also well to keep in mind that the end goal of all of this is to promote science education and participation. This article will focus primarily on the top 5 secrets to choosing easy science fair projects.

The formation of Geodes takes place over millions of years and involves several different geological processes.

DNA is a nucleic acid, is a kind of instruction manual that resides cells of all living things, and even types of viruses. Eukaryotic organisms or those who have a nucleus in their cells store the DNA material in the nucleus. These instructions tell each cell how to develop, and what functions to perform. Prokaryotes organisms, like archae and bacteria, do not have a nucleus, so they store this essential information in their cytoplasm. DNA is a remarkable material, and scientists have been studying it for over a century to shed light on the myriad and diverse natural phenomena of life. But who discovered DNA?

Genetic analysis is gaining popularity quickly and a genetic testing resource as well as information is available widely on the internet, in magazines, as well as in libraries.

Most TOC analyzers works by measuring the CO2 released during the oxidization of organic carbon to determine the total organic carbon level. However, it is not uncommon to find TOC analyzers which works by measuring the CO2 formed during the acidifying of inorganic carbon, or which uses a combination of both measuring methods.

I want to give you three ideas here for elementary science fair projects that can be easily done at home. And best of all you probably won't have to buy any supplies for these projects since you likely will have them at your house already.
