Help...asap...title buget science fair

[momxx5]

DS just finished doing his science experiment for the school science fair. I could not have asked for a more inexpensive project. Using a balloon to create static electricity is it possible to use that electricity to light a fluorescent light bulb.

Well.....spoiler....YES! It worked great. We just took a fluorescent light bulb from DH's closet, a bag of balloons, some "hot air" and we were ready to go.

Now, the board is complete, with report & analysis and all..............except we need a title and are totally stupped?!?!

Any suggestions?


"Shocking Electricity" -playing off the static shock

"Static Lighting" - similar thoughts


Any other quick ideas.

Thanks in advance.

How about...

"Charge It Up"

"Shocking Power"

"Charge AHead"

"Charge It"

"Power Up"

"Static Shock" (this is a reference to a teenage-boy comic-book super-hero character)

"The Secret that Power Companies Don't Want You to Know"

"Subatomic-particle Power-generation Transference"


agnes!

I'm a scientist and a science teacher. I see no reason to have a cute, catchy title. That is not what we really do in science. (If you have ever read a scientific journal, there aren't cute titles.) However, I have judged many a science fair and know that catchy titles are the norm.

I would suggest:
"Using static electricity to light a fluorescent bulb"

Its really more important that the project is done well than the title.

Good luck! It sounds like a good project and I haven't seen that done, so unique.
