Children have a naturally inquisitive mind. Foster their curiosity with a walk through an autumn field or park to answer age-old “why” questions. As you walk with your child, you can encourage them to ask questions.

How do animals keep warm? In this experiment, find out whether fat insulation resists cold temperatures and learn how this works in the animal kingdom.

This science fair project idea explores how much force is needed to move a lever at different distances from the fulcrum.

In this experiment, kids will see if pruning tomato plants makes them more fruitful and learn about the factors that contribute to a plant's fruit production.

In this plastic wrap science fair project, you'll learn about polymer permeability and find out which plastic wrap keeps food from dehydrating best.

Kids will conduct a cool limewater carbon dioxide test that can be performed with common household materials to learn about the chemistry of this common gas.

What is surface tension? Kids will discover how water-skating insects use surface tension to keep from sinking by making a model water walker.

Give your local birds a treat — and your young birdwatcher some fun — with this simple DIY bird feeder.

What is biodiversity? Kids will study different areas of their backyards to see which is the most diverse to learn about biodiversity and random sampling.

Observe corn seed germination to learn about dicots and monocots and how plants grow from seeds to seedlings to full-grown plants!

Kids will love making sugar crystals in this sugar crystal science fair project which teaches important chemistry concepts like saturation and solubility.

Learn about savanna flora and fauna in this science project! Take a look at characteristics of tropical grassland plants and animals that help them survive.

Kids learn about potential energy, and mechanical energy, and how to make power from water with one of our favorite renewable energy projects for kids.

Most people assume that cold water freezes more quickly, but could that be false? Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Let's find out!

Spiders don't go to grocery stores or fast food chains to get their food -- they set up traps and wait for their food to come to them!

Science fair project determines relationship between number and variety of insects and spiders by collecting and counting invertebrates in a ecosystem.

Science fair project in which you will start a fire from scratch without using matches or a lighter.

Is it amplitude? Weight? Length of string? Kids will discover what factors changing the period of a pendulum depends on in this fun and easy physics experiment.

Do you think heat can affect a plant's growth rate?

This science fair idea examines hydrogel superabsorbent polymer crystals. They can absorb 500 times their weight in water. Can they absorb other liquids too?
