My sister is in eight grade and, as usual, she left her science fair assignment to the last minute. It hs to be a science fair EXPERIMENT. It cannot be a RESEARCH project. In her school it is obligatory to do a science fair experiment as you will be graded on it. She has two days left to find and do a project. \n\nAny ideas on good eight grade science fair experiments that can be done within two days?\n\nThanks.

If there is a "math division" of your science fair, you've got it made, all the`way to state. There are usually few math entries in science fairs, so I feel pretty confident you'll make it at least to Regionals.\nAs a starting point, do a search for the Golden Ratio and/or Golden Rectangle [featured in "The Da Vinci Code"].  \nThis month's Discover Magazine has an article entitled Million Dollar Math and has a few ideas you may want to pursue. Actually the entire mag has some great starting points for science projects. www.DiscoverMagazine.com

You can do your own? Thats pretty cool. I always liked the bubble gum mass lab. Take like two whole packages of bubbleyum and record its mass unwrapped (not the weight, your teacher should have a mass scale). Then chew all of it for about forty minutes. Don't swallow. Record the mass of the chewed blob. It'll be less even though its still the same gum. The chewing excretes certain substances out of it (some research required there). This'll actually work for a physical science or a chemistry lab. And while your classmates are working hard on their labs you'll be blowing bubbles the whole time. Hope that helps.

This is a little old, but good:\nhttp://www.tenet.edu/teks/web/science/el.html\n\nHere are some good links:\nhttp://www.bcps.org/offices/lis/curric/elem/Escience.html\n\nI just did a Yahoo! search on "science models elementary" so if you wanted to look for middle school, just change the search.\n\nHere are a few of my bookmarks which might be helpful, too:\nhttp://www.refdesk.com/\nhttp://www.howstuffworks.com/\nhttp://www.thinkquest.org/support/faqlibrary.htm\nhttp://www.nas.edu/\n\nI'm not certain this is what you were looking for, but it should get you started even if it's not exactly what you wanted. Your question was a little unclear. "Model" has a lot of meanings!

I am a seventh grader and once my class had to do a report on some of the experiments we had conducted in our school laboratory. The girl who sits next to me didn't know what to write, so I told her to write that our teacher had caused a nuclear meltdown in our lab! The poor girl obviously didn't know what nuclear reactor or meltdown meant,so she fell for it; hook,line & sinker! The best part is that she actually submitted the report to our physics teacher! I was on the ground, howling with laughter. The experiment was actually about heating a metal ball to show expansion.

My son who was in 8th grade last year did one on how acids like those in lemon juice changed the structure of sugar. The compared them to an alkaline base such as milk. It was pretty neat because when he added the lemon juice to the sugar a chemical reaction occurred. He won. You can also do something if you are allowed to work with chemicals of how HCl hydrochloric acid can cook an egg or how it is neutralized by a base such as mylanta. Check with your teacher on that one. \n\nNot knowing what you are studying to this point I am sending you a link that has a lot of ideas. Good Luck.

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.

Well see as though you dont really have much time for a project that involves a control... But here is an awesome listing that has loads of ideas with explicit instructions not to mention material list for a wider variety of projects. Since I have no clue what realm of science you were intrested in... This has a little bit of them all! Good Luck!\n\nhttp://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/scifairstudio/ideas.html

What class was this in? What grade level? What text were you using?  I may be able to help you if I know the context in which the question was raised. I have a feeling that I am not getting all the information you had. Please tell me and maybe I can help. I am an old chemist and microbiologist.

At this age, couldn't you do something like "Science Fair Fun" type of display rather than an actual science fair?  Have each class do a class project to submit for display.\n\nHold a fund raiser type activity - Mad Science night or pot luck dinner, whatever and display the class projects around the room for the parents and other students to view.  Have a couple of presenters from each class get up and talk about the project their class did.\n\nIts not "science fair" but it would be a good introduction to it for the kids.\nHere's a link that might help you find information on what your looking for too.\n\nhttp://www.proteacher.com/110002.shtml
