2022 Science Fair PROJECT- Archimedes Screw

Introduction:

For the 2022 JC science fair project I chose to make an Archimedes screw because I enjoy making & exploring things that are being helpful and use them for presentations and to conduct experiments with them.

An Archimedes screw has many uses but was most commonly used throughout history to move water uphill. As someone turned the crank manually the screw blades forced water upwards along the threading and thereby transport uphill. Once the water reaches the top, the screw design releases the water into a trough. It is a simple design with a screw inside a tube.

Award

For the presentation at the science fair, 2 judges came over at different times and asked me to explain the project and I did to both of them and to a lot of other people. At the award ceremony a few minutes later, I won the Honorable Mention award.
