Good science fair projects are all around us. Anything can be turned into a science fair project. Any question you have ever asked about anything can be turned into a science project. No science fair project is "bad" unless you haven't put the effort into it. As long as you pick a topic that interest you, use the scientific method to come up with your answer, make a hypothesis, present your project in a nice organized fashion, and completely understand your project and are able to explain it to the judges, you will have a good science fair project. If you are having trouble getting started, just think of a topic that interests you. Do you like animals? Do you like looking at the stars[..]

Objective This is one of those science fair experiments in which you will be testing different materials to find out which ones conduct electricity well. Introduction Electricity was known to exist since times when amber and fur was rubbed together by the ancient Greeks, resulting in the production of static electricity. The first remarkable achievement in this field was by Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist, who developed the first circuit in 1800. He also showed that a circuit must be closed, or complete, in order for electricity to flow through it. Science fair experiments can be conducted using circuits that demonstrate this principle. Volta's student, Georg Simon Ohm, made the[..]

Most parents and especially homeschoolers are always on the lookout for easy science fair projects to do with the kids. Here is one of our very easy science fair projects to do with the kids. In this project you are going to look at how ships float. Simple boats such as rafts float because they are made of material that is lighter than the water. Usually materials such as light wood or reeds that are less dense than water are used. Heave boats works differently as they float because of the upthrust of the water that occurs because of them pushing on the water. The upthrust is their pushing force. By putting something on the water and letting it go, you will see that it is pushing the[..]

There will come a time in every student's life when they have to do school science experiments. Usually from about grade six and up kids will be asked to compete in school science fairs.

The individual, who works on the topic, should have complete knowledge about the topic undertaken. The project or experiment, even if it is small should be focused and the demonstration should be complete and easily understandable. The data and variables should be represented in the graph in a neat and[..]

What you will want to do is take a couple of different areas of science and write them down. For example, you could choose the following: earth science, weather, and plants. And then take each area and come up with 1-2 experiments for each. We will take earth as our first example. You can take a 2 litre pop bottle and fill it half with water. Then mix in some soil and let the mixture settle out for 5-10 minutes. The kids will see pebbles settle first. Sand normally settles next. Silt comes next. Then some dirt particles will float very long periods. Organic things like leaves and bugs will usually float. The lesson is just a brief introduction into geology. Make sure you are paying[..]

This science project is cool, especially for a younger student. You will want to get a large rubber type of kick ball and a tennis ball. If you looking at the two balls they both have the potential to have energy. At the moment while you are holding them they do not have any energy or are utilizing any. If you drop them at the same time onto a concrete floor or surface and then catch them you will probably notice that they almost bounced at the same height. However, if you think about the amount of energy needed to pick each one up you would think that the larger ball would need more energy to move so you would feel the larger ball is producing more energy. The force of gravity on the[..]

This science project is going to measure the strength of eggs. Eggs are known to be resilient because of their exact shape. The weight is distributed very well around the shell. I will give you several things to test the weight and pressure that an egg shell can absorb. First get a good dozen eggs. They are only about $1.00 at the store for a dozen. This all depends where you live it could cost more. Test on the egg strength is to see if you can break an egg shell with your hand. Most men will have no doubt they can do this. Make sure the person doing this does not have any jewelry on their hand which includes rings, bracelets and watches. Place an egg in the middle of the palm of the[..]

Did you know that all foods we eat have some type of energy in them. That is why we eat them because our bodies need food to convert to energy and allow our muscles to move. Energy is heat for our bodies. How can we see what type of energy a piece of food contains even though we are not eating it and digesting it? We will light a piece of food to show it has energy, otherwise it would not burn and then use the energy from it burning to show it can heat water. Get these materials for the science experiment: - A large coffee can - A smaller can like a soup can - A wooden skewer like used for barbeque careful as the edges will be very sharp so ask a parent for help. - You will now[..]

Of the many science fair projects for students, few really teach a student a new concept. This is because science fair project rules often suggest that students use science concepts and ideas that students have already learned. Doing a project using learned concepts helps students retain the concept and really understand what they have learned through tangible examples. While this is great for reinforcing learned lessons, more science projects should introduce new concepts to students in order to further interest them in science. In the realm of physical science for example, the science projects for students learning centrifugal and centripetal force may just ask them to compare bucket[..]

4th grade science experiments don't need to be overly involved and they can usually be done alone, with minimal help from teachers or parents. Children this age are very curious and full of energy so they should have no trouble coming up with a topic to experiment. One simple science experiment they may want to try is to see if draining water always spirals in the same direction. This is interesting and quite easy to test. It also involves a little foot work, which the kids will likely enjoy. All you really need to do is flush a toilet and see which way it drains, then fill a sink and see which way it drains, and then compare your results. Another fun one might be to see which material[..]
