As you can see in my experiment I have been doing lots of fun experimenting. How I really got this idea was when I was watching the news and an oil spill happened on the Gold Coast in Australia and then not long after that another one happened of the coast of Mexico and I thought to myself “Why not do my science fair on oil spills”?
I then read an article about how hair can be used to clean up an oil spill. The technique has been used in past disasters, such as an oil spill in San Francisco bay and in the Philippines in 2006, when prisoners shaved their heads and chests to donate hair to the cleanup effort. And in the first Iraq war in 1991, when retreating Iraqi soldiers released million tonnes of oil into the Persian Gulf, New Zealand sent booms filled with sheep's wool that could soak up 40 times their weight in oil to help with the clean-up. Human hair, however, proved more effective. Human hair grease acts as a spreading agent, to help the oil form a film on the surface. (Source: BBC World).
I hope that people will learn and enjoy from my science fair.

Don’t want to go to school?
Now with the Steve 3000 you don’t have to. The Steve 3000 is an unusual robot that will change your life. With the highest level of technology the Steve 3000 is one to consider!
The Steve 3000 has a computer as a brain, advanced hearing and hover pads. It goes to school, does your studies for you then you get all of its memories, what more can you want! All the teacher has to do is put a sheet of paper in the paper slot and the Steve 3000 will work it out. Then when the Steve 3000 gets home you attach the memory cord to your head and all of its working out goes into your brain and you can remember everything that the Steve 3000 has previously worked out. The Steve 3000 moves around using advanced hover pads. When it moves the turbo shoots a jet of air on the ground therefore causing it to hover. The Steve 3000
also has arms allowing it to pick things up. The memory cord comes from inside the Steve 3000’s head it has tiny devises built into it which sends signals to the brain causing you to remember.
How did I get the idea to make such a fantastic robot? Worldwide children are complaining that they don’t have enough time each day to do their daily activities so I thought “Why can’t children not go to school but still get the knowledge that school offers them?” On December 23 2010 I finally made it...
The Steve 3000!
I really hope that the Steve 3000 will change children's lives for the better and give them more time to do daily activities.
