what is a good science fair project?

If you're into biology and you don't have the budget to build an expensive model, why not do a research on how animal camouflage works. Get an iguana or cryptic frog from your backyard or something. (see the link below for the explanation)

the best kind of science project is one that you know alot about, you have a quiestion that you want to know, investgations are the best beacause you have a problem that you want to solve and your real mischevis to know the answers. thats what kind of project i think is the best. here is the example i am doing a project over density. my quiestion is why does the object float to the top when co2 is added? i am still working on my answer but that is what i want to know. and my science teacher thinks that investgation projects are the best and i always go to county science fair with investgation projects. that is my opinon about the best science fair project. but what ever you think is the best sweetie.

make anything out of the following\nperiscope\nvolcano (Although I don't suggest this - it is a very old project and maybe many will turn up using this)\nA mini hovercraft or hot air baloon (info can be found on net)\nI don't know what it is called but if you know that thing in which we have to take a small hoop across a wire (which is not straight) without touching it. If touched, it will make a sound.\n\nIf none of this suits you, you might watch Backyard Science at National Geographic Channel

some good projects for kids are at-http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/sci/\nthese might be too easy for anyone older than a 3rd grader, but they're still something!\n my little brother is doing the water filter.  he's going to see which of the materials filters water best. good luck! :)

Try this site. I just looked at it and it looks pretty neat. Going to bookmark it for my grandchildren...\n\n  \n\nRainbow in the bottle? - All Science Fair Projects You can make a rainbow in a bottle. Although visual effects were used to enhance the rain bow, you can create it!! I will post that thread so you can learn ...\nclassroom.all-science-fair-projects.com/ forum/showthread.php?t=1072 - 81k - Cached - Similar pages \n\n21: Rainbow in a Bottle\nWith just the bottom of a clear 2-liter bottle as a containter, it is possible to show that water is capable of separating white light (from a flashlight, for example) into its full spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet or ROYGBIV, for short).\n\nAdding a mirror makes it possible to make a bright rainbow in reflection-almost** like the real thing-by placing a small mirror at an angle into the container and setting it in a sunny window so that sunlight strikes the mirror. A rainbow (**shape is different) appears above the mirror and can be projected on a piece of white paper or a white wall. (This can also be done with a flashlight, although the effect is much less dramatic.)\n\nMaterials: Bottom of clear 2-liter bottle (cut off about 20 cm. from the bottom), small mirror (edges taped or enclosed), water, white paper or poster board; bright flashlight; small containers (foam, paper, etc.) to hold water, plastic droppers, waxed paper.\n\nSafety: handle glass mirrors carefully: do not use any with cracks or sharp edges\n\nProcedure: \n1. (To show that water can separate white light into colors) Fill bottom of 2-liter bottle almost full of water. One person should shine the flashlight at edge and adjust angle while another person hold a piece of white paper to act as a screen to observe the "rainbow". Keep adjusting to see the widest strip with all the colors.\n\n2. Place a mirror in the container of water. Adjust mirror angle and container position in sunny window until sunlight is on the mirror and rainbow is projected upward. (Although it does not work as well, the effect can also be seen with a bright flashlight. If you need to use the flashlight method, do it in the darkest place available or it may be impossible to see the colors.) Observe colors-order and intensity-as well as shape of "rainbow". In what ways does this differ from a rainbow as seen in the sky? \nNote that this rainbow is in front of the reflector (mirror) and is being projected back towards the Sun. (In a sky rainbow you must stand with your back to the Sun to see the rainbow also.) Perhaps in a sky rainbow, something is reflecting the light back to you as well as splitting it into colors. What could that something be?\n\n2. Can water reflect light? To see that it can, put some water in a bowl and look at it. Can you see your reflection? Can just a tiny drop of water reflect? (Drop water on waxed paper and look for reflections of overhead lights, etc.)\n\nWisconsin Standards:\nPhysical Science: D.4.8 Observe light\nhttp://www.ripon.edu/faculty/nortonm/dailyscience.html

My friend Donna has some great science fair links on her page:\n\nhttp://www.lewismiddleschool.com/Earle/earle.htm\n\nAlso - my daughter won her elementary science fair one year with a great project on earthworms.  We got 2 one-gallon glass jars.  We put gravel and dirt in each jar, about half full.  In each jar, we put equal amount of organic garbage - small chicken bone, orange peel, apple core, small piece of newspaper, etc.  In one jar, we put 50 earthworms.  We closed the jars (with airholes) for one week.  Most of the garbage from the worm-jar was gone.  In the other jar, the garbage was still there.  It was a winner!

I just helped my daughter with her science project. We made an electromagnet. Very easy to build and you can get buzzers, lights, and battery holders a your nearest hobby Lobby. you can also get toggle switches at the local hardware store. Mount it all on a nice piece of wood and your in business. by the way, my daughter took home first place!

The following link has some good ideas for different projects.  \nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/category0.html\n\nAlso, the following link might help you set up a science fair display board if you have to have one.\nhttp://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentoring/project_display_board.shtml\n\nAn easy, but unique, project for a science fair entry is to test different types of materials for fire resistance.  My daughter used wool, cotton, satin, silk, rayon, nylon, and polyester.  All that is really needed for the experiment is the different materials and a candle with a small flame.  Make sure that you make your science board really neat and legible and clearly state your hypothesis and your observations.  Then, write a conclusion about what you learned from your experiment and whether or not your experiment proved your hypothesis.  Good luck!

Hi!  This has been my fav. site when it came to doing science projects so far.  http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/index.php\nRemember to call your local papers and have a write up done on it so you have a good turn out for the crowd.  Good luck!

I'm a biology teacher, and a cell model is a project every year.\n\nUse a HARD beachball about the size of a basketball....or a cheap dimestore basket ball. Cut in in half and use thin wires to suspend the various organelles inside.
