Let your fourth grade chef mix up butter and sugar with scientific principles about different states of matter, and get delicious toffee, too.

The purpose of this science fair project is to study the properties of sugar and examine individual preferences for sugar and other sweeteners.

Kids learn how to prevent erosion by growing grass. They'll test soil with grass against raw soil in this revealing science fair project idea for 4th grade.

Try this chemistry experiment with your curious kid and get some "shocking" results!

Take a look at forensic science with your child. She'll learn how to take a shoe impression, just like the detectives do!

Test out the pH levels of soil in your backyard versus soil in more wild environments to solve this science case.
