[TheForge] Science fair project

Tue Nov 5 19:00:01 2002

I've been meaning to make a display to demonstrate  volume.  Am going to cut
off a number of pieces of bar stock all the same size.  Will start by
forging  a cube, then a sphere, a pyramid, a long skinny rod, a cone.  Also
forge a few simple objects: knife, leaf, bowl, etc.   This would show that
many different shapes can be the same volume and weight.  Doug

My 10 year old son is going to do a science fair project soon. He frequently
helps me at the forge and also likes to do his own little jobs. I thought
that it would be a good idea to do his project on blacksmithing as no one at
his school has done a project on this subject in recent past (that we know
about).
My question would be: does any one know of a good project for him, or any
recourses we could use? Please keep in mind that he is ten years old, and I
want him to pretty much do the job him self with only my supervision.
Thanks in advance
