This experiment challenges students to forecast the weather based on the surrounding areas' weather.

In this science fair project, students learn how pressure can make the minerals in a rock line up in the same direction and form bands and foliation.

In this cool science experiment, learn about magnetism and poles, and test magnet strength to find out if two magnets are twice as strong as one.

In this experiment you will replicate the mummification process by making a hot dog mummy.

Science fair project that examines condensation and the conditions needed in order for dew to form.

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

This science fair project idea determines which method of hand cleansing is the most effective.

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

This science project teaches young students about germs, bacteria, and the importance of washing their hands. Students will test what is the best way to wash.

This project determines what category of person is most likely to be ticklish.

How can we describe the relationship of magnetic field strength vs. distance? Kids will find out with this free science fair project idea.

There are many benefits to bugs and insects. This science project shows how cockroaches, termites, and other critters benefit our planet.

Science fair project that determines whether cooling eggs helps them be peeled more easily. Compare the time it took to peel each egg.

Do plants get crowded? Have your curious kid investigate how plants respond if they're forced to grow together in a confined space.

Science fair project that examines the different types of precipitation, evaluates the density of snow and calculates the ratio of snow-to-liquid.

Learn about the layers of the Earth and make a model! Create a earth layer book, cake, or clay diagram.

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

How does dishwashing liquid work? Kids discover the chemical mechanism behind cleansing power in this easy science fair project idea.

This project explores whether plants can live and grow when "watered" with juice, soda, or milk.

How does water pressure change with depth? Kids learn how pressure works underwater with this cool and easy demo.

Science fair project that examines what causes thunder and why a thunderclap sounds so loud. How is lightening related to the creation of sound waves?

This science experiment tests whether warm or cold water works best in making cut flowers last longer.

This simple heat transfer experiment is a great introduction to the concepts of heat transfer and conduction.

Kids construct a single fixed pulley system to learn how pulleys can make work easier in this cool physics and engineering science fair project idea.

Do you think you could walk around upside down -- with your feet in the air and your head on the ground?

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.

This classic children's game-connecting two cups with a string-demonstrates sound's ability to travel through air vs through a solid.

This science fair project idea investigates how the shape of an object affects drag.

Play with balance and simple engineering as you hurry to create a sturdy rock tower.

Do different types of oil mix or stack? Find out in this science fair project idea!
