In this microwave plant experiment, find out whether microwave radiation will affect radish seed germination. Will it help or hinder the plants' growth?

In this science fair project, you'll make a "ghost" appear in a test tube, and learn about what happens when hot water and cold water interact.

Will potatoes spud or sprout faster in dry, dark, or cold conditions? Find out in this science fair project idea!

Use chemical analysis to identify a variety of mystery powders that look the same but actually have very different properties.

This science fair project idea explores the different properties of matter.

This project demonstrates the correspondence between the volume of water displaced by a submerged object and the volume of the object displacing it.

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

Find out whether a longer airplane will fly farther or a wider paper airplane.

This science project has students study a group of volunteer liars actively lying to study the behavior of a lie. Students see if they can figure out the truth.

This science fair project focuses on the use of the enzyme amylase found in human saliva to break down starch into sugar.

In this science fair project, students create their own miniature salt flats at home.

Brine shrimp usually live in saltwater. Investigate how salt concentration (salinity) affects the rate at which brine shrimp eggs hatch.

In this cool project, create a lighted, scale model of the different layers of the Sun, including the core, radiation and convection zones, and photosphere.

Science fair project which determines whether the size or the thickness of a piece of paper has an effect on how many times it can be folded in half.

The objective of this science fair project is to observe the differences in heat absorption for darker colors vs. lighter colors.

Science fair project which compares the rate of temperature change and the maximum temperature as a result of the angle of light radiation.

Science fair project examining barometric pressure, and how it can be used to predict the weather. How does atmospheric pressures relate to weather conditions?

Kids learn about examples of mechanical weathering and conduct an experiment with seeds and plaster in this cool geology science fair project idea.

You've heard all about oil spills, but can they really be that bad? After all, vegetable oil is in almost every yummy baking good from cookies to brownies.

This science fair project idea determines the most effective method of preserving food.

In this cool physics experiment, use double plane mirrors at various angles to learn about light reflection. Then, see if you can solve a puzzling problem!

Examine whether distilled water, spring water, or regular tap water yield faster plant growth.

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 science fair project idea produces varying pitches of sound.

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 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 examines the reason boats are shaped and engineered.

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