This science fair project idea investigates how optical distances change the apparent size of an object as seen through a magnifying lens.

This science project allows students to study the psychology of happiness.

Is horse manure a possible energy source in a crisis? Use calorimetry to find out how much energy horse manure can produce in this science fair project.

This science fair project idea recreates the movement of planetary bodies in order to learn why they sometimes appear to move backwards.

This science fair project idea explores how enzyme inhibitors, active sites, non-competitive enzyme inhibitors, and substrates work.

Science fair project that examines how temperature affects density and how density in turn affects the behavior of helium gas.

Ever wonder why refrigerator lights turn off when you close the door? Does the darkness prevent food from spoiling? This experiment, determines just that.

This project determines the age of a tree using a growth factor chart instead of cutting the tree down to count the rings in its base.

This science fair project idea explores whether color affects a person's emotional state.

Construct and experiment with a periscope using reflected light rays to gather an image.

In this cool experiment, learn how to find specific gravity of minerals using liquids of different densities to see which substances and items sink and float.

Prove that the Earth is not flat. The objective of this science fair project is to measure the angle of the sun and calculate the circumference of the Earth.

Learn whether writing things down really makes things easier to remember.

This study evaluates if electronic devices commonly found in most households emit radiation, and if they do, how much?

Could there be toxic chemicals lurking in the cupboards and closets of your home?
