Why does purple cheese look nasty? Because color plays a big part in how we perceive the taste of different foods. Are birds just like us in this respect?

In this science fair project, students focus sunlight with a magnifying glass and trap shorter waves to melt ice.

Science fair project that examines oxidation, reduction and chemical indicators by testing for the presence of the iodide in salt.

This experiment evaluates if the temperature of the environment that you work in affects your ability to perform mental tasks.

Marshmallows are made of sugar, water, and air pockets. Since the marshmallow is flexible, will air pressure cause it to expand when heated in a microwave?

This science project encourages students to investigate the Mozart Effect, the idea that classical music promotes learning.

Discover which battery composition (type) lasts the longest.

Get a cool science project idea on a photovoltaic cell and explore the various factors that affect the energy output of the photovoltaic cell.

Science fair project that teaches you key definitions of molecular science, and how different isotopes of an element affect the relative atomic mass.

In this cool elementary school science fair project idea make a model to learn what happens to the Earth's surface when ice moves over land.

What is condensation? Little mad scientists will learn about condensation, states of matter, and air pressure by conducting this cool science experiment.

Checkerboard play challenges students to use spatial reasoning and computational thinking.

This experiment will explore how mallets of various materials and weight create sonic tones of varying lengths.

Science fair project that teaches you about chemical indicators and how to make your own in order to identify various mystery solutions.

This science fair project idea studies which kind of rock (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic) is most damaged by frozen water.

This science fair project idea explores whether a plastic slinky works as well as a metal slinky when walking it down the stairs.

This experiment investigates whether the psychological phenomenon of the halo effect can be used to explain people's perceptions of others.

Students identify variables that affect the duration of high school romances and analyze data to predict the success or failure of ongoing relationships.

Find out whether pacing in long-distance running actually acquires for drastic changes in finishing times versus running super-fast at the start.

Stories change as you retell them. The objective of this science fair project is to demonstrate how information gets interpreted, distorted and changed.

Can a horse lead itself to the carrot? Train your horse with carrots and boxes and test horse memory in this fun zoology science fair project.
