Where can I research the folling question for Xan's science project.....
"Does the wattage of a light bulb affect the amount of heat given off?"

ok dork face......that is where he's supposed to actually do an experiment and figure that out for himself!!!!! not see if someone else did it.

very simple, get a lamp and several different wattage bulbs. set up the experiment so that the lamp & bulb are on for an hour and then put a thermometer in the near vicinity and take a reading for each different bulb. very simple good project for a kid his age.

he should do a bit of research before hand on bulb wattage etc so he can form his hypothesis before he tests it.

you know i'm the queen of science projects right????? lmao do you know how many trophies i have from science fair? have you met my mother?

I think that is what we are supposed to be doing, but I'm not really clear on where he needs to go to research for his hypothesis. All I am finding are the instructions like you have given and I printed out the site Alex posted last night.

I have no idea why his dad did this to me. I failed Science!!!! So if you can give me some links for the research because that is where I am getting the most confused.

The higher the wattage, the higher the heat
(they even show you how to do it here):
