How does a compass work? What's a magnetic field? Kids will build their own compass at home to find the answers in this great science fair project idea.

Chlorine and chloramine are added to our tap water to kill harmful microorganisms. What is the best way to filter these disinfectants in your drinking water?

This science project challenges students to study deer behavior in their natural habitat- the feeding patterns, social behaviors, male to female ratio, etc.

Before you get ready for a delicious scramble or omelet, add a bit of science to your morning routine!

Slime: It's oozy, it's goopy, and it's just plain fun! Learn how to make slime with this fun science fair project.

This science fair project creates a visual model of whatâs happening to sound waves as a car approaches and then leaves.

This science fair project teaches students the differences between fruits and vegetables.

Here is a fun middle school science project on factors affecting solubility. Learn how dissolved solids can "crash out" to form crystals when conditions change.

This science fair project focuses on the use of a conductivity device that will determine if a substance dissolved in water can or cannot conduct electricity.

This project compares the strength of one, two, and three-ply toilet paper.

How does the size of a vibrating surface affect the pitch of a drum? Learn about drum size and pitch with this easy science fair project idea.

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.

Kids will learn how to measure the viscosity of liquids by making their own homemade viscometer in this great science fair project idea.

Saturn is the ringed planet in our solar system, a gas giant with rings made of ice and dust. Let's make a cool scale model with an old CD and some glitter!

In this Bernoulli's Principle experiment, you'll learn how an increase in the speed of a fluid, like air, decreases pressure.

This science fair project teaches students about wilting and browning of salad greens.

Demonstrate how you can make your own compass using a magnetized needle. It also allows you to compare magnetic north and geographic north.

In this project, build an insect model that shows how the head, thorax, and abdomen fit together! Learn insect anatomy by constructing a paper mache critter.

The moon doesn't produce its own light, so why can we see it shining in the sky? Learn about reflection and planetshine in this fun and easy science project!

In this experiment you explore how tectonic plates move to create land and expand bodies of water.

Are you ready to be a detective for science? Then get out your magnifying glass and start studying fingerprints!

In this science fair project, students use the streak test to tell minerals apart from each other.

In this experiment, you'll make a seafloor spreading model to learn more about how plate tectonics work and create mid-ocean ridges.

When you cut a flower to put into a vase, it'll eventually wilt, even with water and sunshine. But is there another scientific secret to keeping flowers fresh?

Learn how to make a hygrometer to measure relative humidity in this project. Make a sling psychrometer hygrometer with gauze, thermometers, and a bottle.

Learn about the effect of artificial light on plant growth versus natural sunlight and delve into some biology and botany concepts in this science project.

In this project combining nature, art, math, and science, children make rubbings of leaves then observe shapes and structures and sort the leaf images.

Build a 3d animal cell model with this cool science fair project, which helps kids visualize and understand the function of a cell's parts and organelles.
