Water, along with soil and light, is a necessary component for plant growth. So what's better for promoting plant growth: tap water, or rain water?

This super fun science project, perfect for young children, combines crafts, dressing up as animals, outdoor play, and life science learning.

In this project children practice the scientific method while playing with puffy paint.

This science fair project introduces children to static electricity and the idea that electricity is more than lights and plugs.

In this science fair project, kids observe the expansion of liquids when frozen and determine if some liquids expand more than others in the freezing process.

In this science fair project, young children will become aware of and have the opportunity to experience the four basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

In this science fair project, young children notice and track changes in trees throughout the year.

In this experiment, students will create their own version of coquina, a sedimentary rock thatâs formed by seashells and sand, cemented by seawater minerals.

This play-activity causes young children to focus on and become more aware of their sense of hearing and the power of their ears.

In this science fair project, young children observe, record, and create collections of shapes in their world and increase their powers of observation.

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

This project makes young children uniquely aware of their sense of touch and its ability to alone give them information about the world around them.

Can you fool your eyes and your brain with an optical illusion? The purpose of this science fair project is to demonstrate various kinds of optical illusions.

In this sound experiment children listen for differences as they tap on a bag of air, a bag of water, and a wooden block held up to their ears.

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

In this air pressure science experiment with a balloon and a jar, children will use heat to create a partial vacuum and suck a balloon into a jar.
