What are some good Science fair Ideas involving Horses?
My daughter did physics of horse jumping. She free jumped a horse and measured from take-off to landing the angles and such. If you are interested, I will pull her report and send to you. I can’t remember the whole thing but it had something to do with differing heights of jumping and if it took more energy. Everyone loved it. She videotaped each height and explained on the tape what was being done and then took stills from the video and put together her paper. Another one she did was a heartrate test. She investigated whether different types of music played to horses raised their heartrate. She won first place for that one also and it was easy. She took the resting heartrates of 4 or 5 different horses (different breeds, mares and geldings) and then played different types of music in their stalls for 15 minutes (rap, rock, classical and top 40) and then recorded the heartrates and did a chart.
