do you guys know any good science fair project ideas?

you can always stick with the volcano, or you can do how light gets fractured from water, it's really easy, just get a flashlight and a glass cup i got a A- doing that last year.btw that was my sixth grade project.

Weather related things..that might be interesting with the hurricanes and everything.

the light fracturing thing is a good idea! it's uber easy

to stick a [white] flower into sum dyed colured water nd explain how it goes through tha roots nd stuff

maybe a mini tsunami, explaining how it happens and etc.

^ haha mini tsunamis a great idea
you can go look in a sci fair book

my friend won the sci fair with the problem/question: does shouting negatively at a plant (YOU'RE UGLY etc) effect teh way it grows n such

haha i thought that was a great idea lolz

by the way, this is the wrong forum -____-

Which battery lasts longer

gosh, i am doing a sfp right now, i hate those things. Something about plants? it's the easiest.

the last science project i did which was 3 years ago in 8th grade. i did this thing. wear you get all sorts of soda brands. and put ice in them, and see which soda melts the ice fastet =\ i got an A =). sounds stupid but hey its an A. ahahha

well did which type of cover paper would be a better quality for foods like (wax paper, plastic paper, and aluminum foil) and i put sliced apples in there to see which would make the apples last longer.

i did on the earthquake one... that ones the hardest. My science teacher told me that if I did the project really well, then he'll give me a good grade with an extra credits to it. But in the end, I didn't finish it cause it was too much. I wanted to change, but then I couldn't turn back. I did so much and researched so much information. It was hard for me, it would be very cool if you finished that project. My title was like "How do they predict earthqaukes"

I love music, so i did a science project on, "does listening to music while doing ur homework, affect ur grades?" or somethan like that. LIke listening to music while doing math is supposed to boost ur gpa.

the easiest one is how does music affect your pulse.
and i got a A on it too.

yeah. need an idea. the topic has to be a question/problem, ex. "How does temperature affect a magnet's strength?" something like that.

I really need help. Im braindead. Thanks

umm

What are the functions of cells?
What is a virus?
What causes an ice age?
What does DNA do?
How do tsunamis form?


umm i'm brain dead too. my questions are pretty easy and relate to what i've been learning in science lately >.<

For someone who is supposedly brain dead, your ideas are awesome, especially the tsunami one.

If you'd like more ideas, ichiban, go here.

haha LOL cool site by the way, now i myself know where to get ideas when i'm brain dead

haha i always did the mold growing on wet bread in a ziploc bag and dry bread in ziploc bag..and i explained why it grew and what kinda mold it was.

Oooo do an experiment.. it's really easy, you just have 3 little cars.. and then you have a big piece of cardboard, and on the carboard, you put three types of terrain on it and see which terrain uhm... makes the car go faster. You put the carboard slanted.

Wait, is this homework or what?

Put this in the homework subforum under interests please.

TOPIC MOVED TO HOMEWORK

POWER TO GIGI!

Anyways. Uhh what type of experiment do you want to do/expected to do anyways?

Man, Gigi. I was about to post before you moved it.


I seperated water and hydrogen. It was fun. Got an A.

It was fun seperating. Because to test out that it work properly, I had to light my test tube on fire!


FIRE!!

^^ I'm a bit of a pyromaniac...

hehe. our science fair is TMR! get to miss 4 periods of class, YAYYY! anyway, our topic was :"the effect different liquids have on baby teeth".

For my science project one year i did this..
"does music help you with your math?"

except i forgot what i named it, somethan more professional haha.
but basically i made up 6 diff math tests, and then used my lil brothers 5th grade class to take these tests...the first time without music...the second time with rock...the third time with rap...the 4th time with classical...the 5th time with slow contemoporary...the 6th time with christian...you can make as many catagories as you want...i think if i remember correctly that classical music was the best, cuz all of them scored higher on their tests or whatever and the average of the class was higher..i dunno it was a fun project lol.

burn various chemicals in flame and describe the whys and hows.
i.e: hydrochloric acid burns green
sodium burns yellow
strontrium burns purple
etc etc

hey does ne1 know of any science project that i can do in, say...3 days? cuz i have one due (just a report not a backboard, thankfully...) on friday..and I can't think of anything...I relied on a partner to do the project and I was gonna do the report, but she kinda flaked on me... any ideas?!! =]]<3

the classic vinegar and baking soda volcano.

moved to [HOMEWORK]

do a plant growing one.

not really.

do something that has to do with balloons.

I merged THREE science project ideas topics together.

Guys, before posting a topic, please utilize the search button. It is understandable when a forum is packed with so many topics and finding an existing one takes time, but the Homework forum is VERY new, and as we all can observe, there are not that many topics to cover.

Please try to LOOK around first before creating a new, yet already posted, topic.

your couyld do how optical illusions effect your vision and mind. yeah i did that in 8th grade and it was really hard and i only got 3rd place. damn it all!

funny, i just wrote an essay on that.

Experiement with the fact that Newton said that "All things fall at the same rate."
Well does it? No.
Test it out with a notebook.. and a paper and find out from there.

We did that in class today.

I just finished my science fair project not too long ago. My experiment was-Which type of flower grows best using the hydroponics technique?- And I'm happy. I got an A on that.

Ahh ... I tried using some of your ideas and my teacher said they were all not creative. I personally think she's too picky >:[

dry using different types of liquids to grow plants.. it's sorta like the classic growing bean sprout thing.. but instead, let the experimental group use different types of liquid such as soda, vinegar, soap, etc etc, and see what happens.. note the approximate pH of each types of liquid u use.. and see how the bean sprout react to it..

OR, you can get some plants, and for the control, find the most neutral soil u can find.. and water the plant with distilled water.. and then do more basic soil, water it w/ acidic water, distilled water, and basic water.. and also acidic soil, and do the same.. see how the plants grow.. say u've noticed how with air pollution causing our rain water to be so acidic, how can our plants still survive on this mildly acidic rain?

at what percentage can people taste sugar in water and salt in water. like you have a lot of bottles and they have the same amounts of water, but in each one you add an increasing amount of sugar or salt. have people taste the one with the least sugar/salt, then increasing..and see at which one they can taste the sugar/salt. i dunno..it worked for me..lol.

The "Clock Potato" is always a given.

tsunami ones a good idea, but how would u go about building a tsunami?! lol
um idk. if u have pets u could do something wif that- like i saw one thing in a sci-fair project book that was like how 2 c if ur pets are right/left handed, and c if all cats r right handed or all dogs r left handed or sumthin...
u could always do a survey of somethin, thats easy. "how many hours do u spend on hw and wut kinda grades do u get?" and then make a conclusion: "it seems that only kids who spend 4 hours on hw get good grades etc etc"
that alwayz worx
good luk!

Lol thought out 12 years i been in skool, i only did 1 science fair project >.< My question was How does weather instruments work. Then i made 3 weather instruments out of everyday things. took down the readings it would give me for a week and then later compared it to readings from the weather channel to see how accurate my readin was.

any science fair projects for the high school level.. ?? thanks.

^ you don't think the ones we listed are high school level ideas?

i have 0 science fair ideas.. but why dont you try the lemon battery thing. Its always a do-able project.

Oh. I just remembered one I did in the 4th grade. I burned paper, wood, and cotton ( not in the school, I video taped it in my house). I found what burned faster and I explained why. Maybe that could be useful?

this link that uninspiredfae gave sis a really go0d site.. so check there..

but umm i always made lyk puddy.. useing corn stracht water and some other stuff i can't think of.. lol it was kewl i forgo the whole concept of it tho..

do something that could help the world... don't do something that would satisfy your own interest. one of the la county sci. fair's winners involved harnessing energy from wind.
