It all depends on what your own interests are. Check out some sites online to get ideas.

I've never constructed a double helix before, but try using straws with wooden skewers run through them [to act as stabilizers] and spray-painted styrofoam balls.  I know that styrofoam balls aren't actually household items, but you can pick them up pretty easily at a local arts and crafts store.  \n\nIf the teacher doesn't mind, I suppose you could use apples and oranges...  ^^\n\nAnything that is porous and easy to skewer ought to work.  Like an eraser.

Use a big Tupperware container to put it all in. I did that for the 11 year old class and it worked just spiffy.

When warm weather settles in, take them on a nature hike.  Most teens will think this is cheesy, but the competition will soon settle in.\n\nPlay a seeking game.  Create a list of items, with points attached, of things that are around their school.  List the scientific name (ones studied in class and some hard one for bonus pts)...deducting points if they have to ask about their common name.\n\nItems can included leaves, feathers, rocks, etc.  Make it a week long project where kids can work in teams.\n\nMy 10th grade Bio teacher did this...and even though we moaned at first at how childish the game was...we all aced our test the following week, and had a good competition.\n\n(We got some sort of reward, but I forget what it was.)

ask the children to bring in empty packaging from home as a small homework task. sort through th items brought in with the children talking about what can be recycled and why we should recycle. More importantly what recycling means. \nAllow the children to make collages using the varoius types of materials which can be recycled. \nyou could make this into a display. You could also do junk modelling with the packaging.

My son just did one for 4th grade.  He used Optical Illusions and their perception among age groups.  It turned out really cool.  We copied optical illusions from library books and pasted them up.  Then he made a stop-motion animation move on his computer, and explained how he did it.  He also made flip-books. It was cool.

1st I think u better get a patent before showing it. Then invention Submission. 1-877-760-IDEA.\nwww.InventHelp.com

Do demonstrations! For volume, for example, you can show a cone has a third the volume of a cylinder with the same radius by pouring water from a cone to the cylinder. Most students guess that the volumes are about the same and it's a demonstration that sticks in their minds. \n\nAnything outside of the classroom is great (if you can do that). Interactive stuff is always good. Get them to estimate the area of the basketball court or other playing surface. Or figure out how many people you could fill your classroom with if they were all lined up lying down.

Hello ...check this web site. I use it to help my son also in 7th grade.

My kids use this website to get their science fair ideas http://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/ It has project ideas, tip sheets, step-by-step instructions on basic science fair setup, etc.\n\nGood luck!

ur idea is really cool......it shall really increase the parent-child interaction.and doing so at school shall increase the parent-teacher-child interaction....which is really nice.\nwell the first thing u need to do is to get parents and children interested in the event.\nmake them hunt for something really worth searching for.....\ngive clues in the form of puzzles.......puzzles out of what they have to study, out of story books and novels(try the harry potter/lord of the rings).\nall the best and hope the event turns out to b a grand success

All of these seem to have good starts for ideas.  You should be able to find plenty of good projects that you'll be able to work on prior to your science fair,\n\nhttp://yahooligans.yahoo.com/Science_and_Nature/Experiments_and_Activities/Science_Fairs/\nhttp://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/projectguide/\nhttp://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/\nhttp://www.scifair.org/\nhttp://www.cdli.ca/sciencefairs/\nhttp://www.isd77.k12.mn.us/resources/cf/ideas.html\nhttp://staff.washington.edu/chudler/fair.html\n\nGood Luck

OK I'm cheating - I put this answer up a little while ago.\n\nA quick and dirty idea for a physics project would be one based on electromagnetism. Without knowing what grade you're targeting, a simple one that has a fair amount of pizzazz is to build a gauss rifle. Checkout http://sci-toys.com/scitoys/scitoys/magnets/gauss.html\n\nThe sci-toys site has some other pretty cool stuff that you might find useful as well.\n\nFor a more advanced example, you can make a small rail gun that applies similar principles but can have a much larger kick. Just do a search on "rail gun experiment".\n\nEnjoy!!

If it's a big high school you could fundraise and start a high school radio channel, and get sponsorship from local businesses in return for mentioning them during adverts and between shows.\nYou could start making something useful and sell it off for less than the usual price. In my school we made pot pourri sachets and ornaments. They sold very well. \nYou could get local businesses to sponsor a group from your school to do a play or a mini marathon or something. That way you would be promoting the local businesses and would be making money for charity, and would be keeping health and wellbeing in the project.

I had to do this before, but I had to make mine out of candy. If you're allowed to do that, use candy. It's pretty easy. Just get some wire, twist them to the right shape, and use different kinds of candy on them. Once you have those up, then you'll need the wires that go across to connect them. I find that candies like twizzles and gummy worms work well. It shouldn't take that long to make. Good luck!

At the school where my mom works they have the kids bring in 100 things and make a collage or something.  Or if you have fruit loops or Cheerios or just beads you can make necklaces with 100 on each.  Another neat thing to do is hide 100 small prizes (party favors for ex.) around the room and have a hunt for them.  One last suggestion that i have is to divide 100 by the number of students you have and have each kid bring in that number of pictures of their favorite things or people.  Then you can make a collage in the shape of a 100 for your classroom.
