Catapult is a device used to throw an object over a long distance. It has been used since ancient times, it has proven to be one of the most effective mechanisms during warfare. It was designed to break or circumvent city walls and other fortifications in siege warfare.

Cost: Around $ 10

Objective:

We should build it in such a way that, it hits its target with accuracy with bare minimum cost.

Things to consider:

Holder
Base
Trigger Mechanism

In my opinion, for a holder, you can choose a hole which is smaller than the ball which you are going to throw out. The base should be as large as possible because we need maximum friction below the base and for the trigger, you can choose any elastic tube, I have read somewhere about medical tubing which is good too.

Design:

As shown above, catapult would be build using plywood. Two similar shape plywood will work as an arm and would give support to it. H Shape shown above is used as a holder stopper.

Php Project ideas

If you are one of the engineering students or learning PHP, then you have come to the right place because PHP projects listed here are very much doable and as a developer myself, I will guide you with the algorithm of each and every title listed here.

In the last couple of years, I have got an opportunity to work on a lot of PHP websites. Some are based on core PHP and some are based on a framework that is developed on PHP itself. Two of my favorite frameworks based on the model view controller are:

1) Laravel
2) Codeigniter

and for CMS, my favorite is Wordpress, because of its simplicity and availability of plugins and themes.

In the next couple of weeks, my plan is to write series of tutorials covering each and every topic related to this language and helping you to become independent while writing your own code for your school or college project.

1) In the first phase:
i) Installation of Laravel, Codeigniter, and Wordpress
ii) Creating the "Hello World" Website with all the above
iii) Creating a simple database application
iv) Working with theme and template &
v) Deploying site to live server

2) In the second Phase:
Write code for School Help Desk ( Codeigniter)

3)Third Phase (Deploy)

As I am writing on the above topics, I would like you to browse the following projects to get some idea of how things work and how to write good code.
To run or develop all the projects given below you will need PHP server and database installation. If you don't know how to install them(Apache, PHP, Mysql) manually you can use installation provided by WAMP (Windows), Xampp ( Windows and Linux).

You can divide this project into three parts:
1) Getting the information:
It is a very easy project and requires knowledge of HTML Forms, PHP Form Handling and Mysql Database. How many questions you would like to ask on Scrapbook form, depends on you.
2) Storing the information provided by the user
Once you finish with the form, you will need to create a database table storing all the information submitted by the user.
3) Fetching the info from database and showing it on the frontend
And in the final step, you can show the list of all the scrapbook entries and allow the user to click on the name to read all the entries. Download Scrapbook

How to Make a Periscope (School Science Project) Easy Steps, Diagram, Video

Build a Periscope for a School Project (Simple Steps, Diagram, Viva Ready)

I love recommending a periscope as a school project for one reason. It looks like a magic trick when it works, but the science is completely straightforward. You can build it in an hour, and then spend the rest of your time making the explanation and presentation strong.

If you do only one thing, do this. Keep the build neat and add one small measurement. Judges remember projects that work cleanly and are explained confidently.

Where periscopes are used in real life

Submarines and underwater observation
Watching over walls or obstacles safely
Inspection in narrow spaces where your eyes cannot reach
Optical design basics that show up in cameras and inspection tools

How a periscope works (diagram)

Video: watch one build before you start

If you like learning visually, watch this once. Then build your own and focus on alignment. Alignment is what makes the image bright and clean.

Why the mirrors are placed at 45 degrees

This is the part I tell students to remember for the viva. A plane mirror follows one rule: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. When you place the mirror at 45 degrees, the light turns by 90 degrees. Two such turns let you look over an obstacle. Two reflections also keep the image upright, which is why it feels natural to view.

Materials required

Cardboard sheet or thick chart paper or a rectangular box
Two small plane mirrors of the same size
Scale and pencil for marking
Cutter or scissors
Glue or tape
Black paper or black paint for the inside (optional but recommended)

Periscope construction steps

Make the tube. Create a rectangular tube about 25 to 35 cm long. A cereal box works well.
Cut two windows. Cut one window near the top on one side and one window near the bottom on the opposite side. Keep them aligned.
Mark the mirror guides. Inside the tube, mark two guide lines at 45 degrees where the mirrors will sit.
Fix the top mirror. Place the first mirror at 45 degrees behind the top window so it reflects incoming light downward.
Fix the bottom mirror. Place the second mirror at 45 degrees behind the bottom window so it reflects the light toward your eye.
Reduce stray light. Darken the inside. It improves contrast immediately.
Seal and strengthen. Tape edges and corners so mirrors do not shift.

Why this project is worth doing

In school exhibitions, I have seen periscopes that look great but score low because the explanation is missing. This project is worth doing because you can show science, not just craft, using a simple model.

It makes reflection real. You can literally trace the ray path with your finger on the diagram.
It teaches precision. A small alignment error reduces brightness and cuts the view.
It is easy to upgrade. One measurement table and one small graph takes it to the next level.
It is easy to present. The viva explanation is short and clear.

Scientific concepts students learn here

Law of reflection. Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.
Ray optics. Light travels in straight lines in a uniform medium.
Geometry. 45 degrees creates a 90 degree turn in direction.
Image orientation. Two reflections keep the image upright.
Field of view. Mirror size, window size, and tube length control what you can see.
Brightness and contrast. Dark interiors reduce stray light and improve contrast.

A short, interesting history

The periscope became famous because it solved a very human problem: how to see without being seen. Submarines made it popular, but the underlying idea is just mirrors redirecting light.

Quick tests to make it a real science fair project

If you want this to look like a proper project, do one of these tests and include a small table.

Test 1: field of view measurement

Stick a ruler on a wall.
Stand at a fixed distance like 2 meters.
Look through the periscope and note how many centimeters of the ruler you can see.
Repeat after changing window size or mirror size and record the change.

Test 2: brightness improvement test

Keep room lighting same.
Compare brightness before and after darkening the inside.
Write one line conclusion.

Common problems and fixes

Dim image. Darken the inside, reduce gaps near mirrors, clean mirrors.
Cannot see properly. Recheck 45 degree alignment and window alignment.
Image is cut off. Use bigger mirrors or slightly bigger windows and keep mirrors centered.

For parents: how to do this with your child

If you are a parent helping your child, do the risky parts and leave the thinking to the child. That is the only way they will confidently explain it.

Parents use the cutter. Children do measuring, marking, and labeling.
Let the child explain the diagram. Ask them to point to the ray path and say what happens at each mirror.
Do one measurement together. Field of view test is simple and impressive.

One minute viva script: A periscope lets us see over obstacles. Light reflects from the top mirror, goes down, reflects again, and reaches our eye. Mirrors are at 45 degrees so light turns by 90 degrees each time.

Hydrology Project

Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the hydrologic cycle, water resources, and environmental watershed sustainability.

The study of hydrology has been investigation and engineering for millennia and using it had changed human life completely. Around 4000 B.C the Nile was dammed to improve agricultural productivity of previously barren lands. In later years Hydrology also gave us Bernoulli's principle. In this post, I am trying to give you whatever I found on the internet and believe that would be useful for you. I hope you will find these links interesting and noteworthy.

Study change in the hydrological cycle because of global warming.
