Description | ||
This science fair project was performed to measure the movement of fossils in soil subject to earthquake tremors. The experiment was done by exposing fossil bones to different levels of vibration. | ||

1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the environment which will simulate the earthquake zone, which will be a fish tank filled with soil and water. The dependent variable is the vertical displacement of the bones after being subjected to vibration. This is determined by measuring the height of the bones in the soil after applying the vibration. The constants (control variables) are the size of the fish tank, the type of soil used, the size of the bones, the initial height of the bones in the soil and the length of time of the vibration. ..... |
