| It's that time of the year again! Time to create, design | | | | Materials: For this science fair project idea, you will |
| and carry out a science project for the school science | | | | need |
| fair. Stumped? Don't worry this article will help you plan | | | | |
| a 5th grade project in science. | | | | 1. honey |
| Here is a great 5th grade science fair project idea: | | | | 2. small objects of different weights such as paper |
| Every 5th grade project in science needs these | | | | clips, coins, toys, marbles, etc. |
| important sections: title, materials, purpose (of the | | | | 3. two different jars that are at least 8 inches tall |
| experiment), hypothesis (what you think is going to | | | | 4. water |
| happen), procedure, results and conclusion. For this 5th | | | | 5. vegetable oil |
| grade science fair project idea: | | | | 6. food coloring |
| Title: Come up with your own title! | | | | Procedure: |
| Purpose: We all heard the saying water and oil do not | | | | |
| mix. Why? Water and oil are both liquids and should | | | | 1. Pour honey into one jar so it is 2 inches high. |
| mix like liquids. What will happen when we actually test | | | | 2. Food color the water (pick whatever color you like |
| this saying and mix oil and water? What will happen | | | | best!) and then pour 2 inches of water into the same |
| when we mix honey in? What will happen when when | | | | jar with the honey. |
| place objects in this mixture? | | | | 3. Then add oil to the same jar, 2 inches high again. |
| Hypothesis: This section is for your predictions. What | | | | 4. Pour the liquids in reverse order in the second jar. (oil, |
| do you think will happen when you pour the liquids in | | | | water, honey) |
| the jars? What do you think would happen to the | | | | 5. Put the objects in one jar. See what happens to the |
| objects? When you place objects into water, they | | | | objects after 10 minutes, one hour, two hours. |
| usually sink. Do you think this will happen when you | | | | 6. Repeat step five for objects in the second jar. |
| place objects in liquids that are not water? Don't worry | | | | Results: What happened? Describe everything. You |
| about being right! Hypothesis can be wrong, after all | | | | don't need to include explanations of why something |
| you need to do the experiment to find out. | | | | occurred. Make sure to bring to jars to the science fair! |
