plaster of paris and some newspaper! Or use construction paper and some toilet paper rolls and some poster board.

how about getting a bucket, a cups, and a dixie cup and then filling each with wet sand, turning it over to make a "sand castle" out of each.  you can show the kids the different sizes of each and how one is big, one is small and the other is in the middle (or for comparison words, you could do big-bigger-siggest).  you could then use these same size cups, scoop water into each and then pour it back into the pool.  each will make a different sized spalsh, again, big, medium, and small.  you could have the kids model make big medium and small pies of sand, or even provide them with wet sand to make the sand castle things themselves.

I have got some sites for science projects on volcanoes.\n\nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/project815_39.html\n\nThis is another project for making a volcano with a purchased kit.\n\nhttp://www.hobbytron.com/make-volcano-model-science-project-experiment.html\n\nThis is another volcano science project.\n\nhttp://www.scienceproject.com/projects/intro/primary/PX001.asp

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

Is this a project that requires you to build or write something about earthquakes?\n\nI would suggest building different types of structures (buildings) to see how each would withstand a quake. The only problem with that is you would have to have a way of testing the structures. You can actually use a board underneath the structures & just move the board back & forth.\n\nYou could make a homemade siesmograph machine. Doesn't take much. Look it up on the net.

Bring in items with shapes.....ice cream cone, cookie sheet, book, rubrics cube, etc.  Also, trace these shapes and have kids go on geometric shape hunt to try to find the shapes in school. \nFollow up with some type of worksheet.

If you have to actually build this thing then a castle-style drawbridge would probably be the easiest thing I can think of. \n\nBuild a tower out of boxes, wood or whatever. If you’re real lazy simply stand a shoebox on its end and paint an archway on what was the bottom.\n\nCut a piece of cardboard slightly narrower than the base of the box and about 8 inches long. That piece of cardboard is your span.  Bend the first couple of inches of the cardboard up at right angles. Push thumbtacks through that bent up section and into the tower a few inches above the tabletop. That way when the span is lowered it will slope downwards on to the table.\n\nPass a piece of wire through a cotton spool and bend both ends around to make a U shape. Bend the ends of the “U’ shape into tight circles. You can now put a screw through those circles and into a piece of light wood/heavy card that you can glue to the tower somewhere near the top.\n\nPoke a hole in the free end of the span. Tie some thread through it. Pass the thread around the cotton spool a few times. \n\nYippee, finished in one afternoon.\n\nWhen you turn the spool the span will lift. The spool is both a wheel and a pulley system. The span itself functions as a lever. Because the span slopes downwards onto the table top it is an inclined plane/ramp.\n\nAttaching a couple of parts using screws and a couple more using nails/tacks gives you your screw and wedge.\n\nSimple. Next time don't procrastinate.

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!

Check out http://www.education.smarttech.com/ste/en-gb there are smart board lesson plans and resources on there that might be able to back up your proposal. Smart boards are a great way to get children involved and enthusiastic about a lesson. I hope your school takes up your idea.

I did something like that for a science project too. Only mine was a cake with decorations that made it look like a cell... ^_~\nWe also have an actual model of animal and plant cells in my class, but those were mail-ordered. For a really realistic one, you're gonna need some special parts.\nYou can do it more easily with a styrofoam ball of a reasonable size (or a styrofoam cube if you're doing a plant cell), another smaller ball (for the nucleus), I'm not sure what you could use for mitochondria.... Hit a craft store and get creative. There's plenty of stuff out there just waiting for you to find it. Pom-poms could be used for the vacuoles I guess, and you could coat the larger ball with playdoh for the membrane. I'm sure you'll think of something. Remember this when you're working: hot glue guns are your friends.\nJust remember to include all the components:\nNucleus, cytoplasm, vacuoles, mitochondria, cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and the two extra plant parts: chloroplasts and that extra thick wall whose name in English I cannot recall... xD\nIf I can make a sponge cake into an animal cell with some Fuzzy Peaches, Rockets, jelly beans and chocolate sprinkles, I'm sure you can make a styrofoam ball into something just as good or better. Best of luck!

Use the pastel or whatever the kindergarden kids use.  It is like mud but comes in different colours.  The model should be a representation of the cross-section of your cell.  Use strings and other things to show different structures of the cell.  Some diagrams are drawn in 3D, and that's what your model should look like.  I wish they made us do that in university.  It would be fun.
