Have him investigate why his father doesn't know how to use a spell-checker.  A spell-checker compares strings of characters.

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!

If there is a "math division" of your science fair, you've got it made, all the`way to state. There are usually few math entries in science fairs, so I feel pretty confident you'll make it at least to Regionals.\nAs a starting point, do a search for the Golden Ratio and/or Golden Rectangle [featured in "The Da Vinci Code"].  \nThis month's Discover Magazine has an article entitled Million Dollar Math and has a few ideas you may want to pursue. Actually the entire mag has some great starting points for science projects. www.DiscoverMagazine.com

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!

You mean for the science fair?  Try something stupid like the mating rituals of grasshoppers or something.  The stupid ones like that always win first prize whereas the really cool ones like nuclear fusion get last.

Yeah, that's good.  You could grow some type of plant in each and compare the results.  Some advice - you might want to specify your experiment a bit.  For example, a similar idea is to see whether potatoes grow without soil.

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.
