Can you please help me chose my science projects?

The question about water expanding is not really broad enough to merit an entire project, much less an experimentation.\nThe reason why water expands when frozed can be easily researched and I cannot think of how you would try to turn this into a science project using the scientific method with an experiment.\n\nThe project involving gold balls however does have a clear problem and variables you could control.\nIf your forced to choose either of the two, the better project in my opinion is the golf ball project.

First off.... Find your interests, in order to make the project fun. What interests you? \n\nYou may be a person like me --that doesn't like science, but be creative.\n\nYou could do a topic on disorders:\n\nAsthma,\nAutism Spectrum Disorder- Is Autism genetic?\nADHD -- Is ADHD genetic?\nAnxiety Disorders-- What causes anxiety? \nOr so and so....\n\nThe last science fair project I did was:\n\n"Does music affect your heart rate?" And, of course, the answer was yes. It was a lot of fun-- I hatre science, but I made it fun.. hehe!\n\nHere are some topics:\n\nSexual Reproduction\nFlowers & Plants\nDisorders; Asthma, Autism, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and other disorders.\nElectricity\nAnimals - if you like animals.\nComputers\nFruit\nGardening\nGuns -- how they work, etc.\nFishing\nFarming\nObesity- why is uncommon/common in US and other countries--why is it un/common in other countries? etc.\nExercise-does it affect heart rate? etc.\nDrugs--does it affect a person? If so/if not, what way/s? \nCooking,\nSkin (human skin, how it's formed, etc),\nSleep--scientific--why do teens sleep more/less than adults?,\nSoaps--which soaps work better? And why?\nWhich fertilizer makes plants grow healthier?\nWhat baby products are the best? And why?\nHealthy foods,\nHow does bike riding enhance your muscle strength?,\n\nHere are some of my ideas, as well as this website. Hopefully, it's helpful.\n\nGood luck!\n\nMichelle

Here's a link to a lot of science fair references.  You probably need to find something that interests you.  If you're not interested in your science fair topic, you won't want to do the research and perform the experiment.  Science fair should be something that you enjoy.  If you enjoy what you're working on, you'll be proud to show it to your classmates and teacher.  \n\nhttp://www.usc.edu/CSSF/Resources/GettingStarted.html

http://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/scifairstudio/ideas.html#weather\n\nThey have some wonderful ideas.  The interactive projects are always the funnest to do.  Stuff exploding.. messy...\n\nI found another the balloon and lemon one sounded cool.  http://www.science4mykid.com

Well see as though you dont really have much time for a project that involves a control... But here is an awesome listing that has loads of ideas with explicit instructions not to mention material list for a wider variety of projects. Since I have no clue what realm of science you were intrested in... This has a little bit of them all! Good Luck!\n\nhttp://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/scifairstudio/ideas.html

hey, well, i'm in eighth grade and i've seen a lot of great projects...is it just a project on anything scientific or is it in a certain area (physics, chemistry, etc)?\n\n\nfeel free to e-mail me\n\ncaty_rocks_ur_sox@yahoo.com

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/...\n\nA good elementary science fair project is testing the density of various liquids.  All you need is a tall clear glass or vase and various liquids such as... dishwashing detergent, mineral oil, corn syrup, olive oil, water (dyed blue), molasses, or corn oil.  Use at least five different liquids (of different colors... makes the project more attractive) and slowly pour them into the container.  Also, perform the experiment more than once adding the liquids in different orders and note your results.  This project is easy, but it is also very educational and helps to teach the basic concept of density.

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask. It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.\nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice. Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions. Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

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! :)

I used to judge high school level science projects, so here is what I would like to see:\n1. Make an observation about something that you want to try to explain or figure out. Why does this happen? That is the basic question you are going to answer. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering, but it helps if the answer is not already known to everyone. Floating Diet Coke and Coke cans to see which is denser is perhaps an interesting experiment, but hardly difficult to predict. Using coffee filters to do paper chromatography to separate compounds can be ingenious and dramatic, especially if you find something to test that is a real problem like detecting some sort of carcinogen in food. \n \n2. Research the project. Check in the library and on the internet for possible research that has been done similarly to your problem. Even if it has been done, you might want to retest the answer that other researchers got. Make a list of your research results as your references. Your ideas might change in this stage.\n\n3. Form a hypothesis about what you think will happen. You can have more than one. Your project should be able to be tested by an experiment. \n \n4. Design your experimental procedure. Write it out. Figure out what the variables are in your experiment and try to test only one of them at a time. Keep all the other variables constant. You can change the other variables to see the change in the effect of one variable on another variable. \n\n5. Record your data as you do the experiment. Keep lots of notes so that someone who wants to see your records can see what you have done. \n\n6. Do some calculations with your results. Make a graph, tables, and draw conclusions. \n\n7. Summarize it and state how it could be done differently or better. Here you can speculate about what sort of things might be meant by your results. \n\nIf you do all this stuff, even if your experiment is not dramatic, you are likely to impress the judges with your understanding of the scientific method. Of course, having an exciting and imaginative project is also going to be needed to get first place. \n\nAs for the content, there is so much to choose from it is hard to guide you. If you are interested in biology, you can grow some fast growing plants under different conditions and see what happens. If you like earth sciences you could do a test on greenhouse gases, using a CO2 cartridge to fill a container, plain air in another, and perhaps one with high water vapor content and see which one absorbs the most heat from sunlight. It always helps to find something you are curious about or that concerns you. Rather than listing lots of ideas I would recommend you go to this website and get some ideas, and then discuss it with your teacher:\n\nhttp://sciencebuddies.com/
