My dad helped me do the solar system in a big cardboard box, with fishing line, styrofoam balls, paint and construction paper. Inexpensive and I got an A+++++!!! We hung the styrofoam planets from the top of the inside of the box after we painted them and decorated the inside of the box with a black background and it was cool! bradnmich@bellsouth.net

My kids use this website to get their science fair ideas http://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/ It has project ideas, tip sheets, step-by-step instructions on basic science fair setup, etc.\n\nGood luck!

I am a former science/math teacher and science fair judge.\nunfortunately your question does not contain enough information for me to help you.  First look at the papers from school to see what is required.  Choose a topic.  Research the topic.  Do the project.  make a report (usually they require those boards that stand up on tables you can buy them).

It dosent matter what it is about, Its it you can use the scientific method correctly. ask you teacher to help you. And don't be afraid to ask. P.S. I've won 2 science fairs 2nd and 3rd Prize.

When I taught 2nd grade, we had an ant farm every year as a science project (principal's mandate).  That's definitely grade level.\n\nSomething more interesting is making root beer.  You can get a kit through any science supply website.  You just need the kit, water, about 4-5 plastic 2-liter bottles, and about 4-6 weeks to leave the bottles alone in a warm, dark place.  Presto, a fermentation project your kid can enjoy!

ask the children to bring in empty packaging from home as a small homework task. sort through th items brought in with the children talking about what can be recycled and why we should recycle. More importantly what recycling means. \nAllow the children to make collages using the varoius types of materials which can be recycled. \nyou could make this into a display. You could also do junk modelling with the packaging.

Depending on your teacher and how much she/he rewards creativity you could do a really offbeat topic like:\n\n1) How to kill an entire weekend without accomplishing anything\n\n2) How to pick up the cutest girl in school i.e. me (DON'T do this one for a male teacher :)\n\n3) How to appear wide awake at school after staying up til 3AM answering strangers' questions\n\n4) How to answer the telephone (write it like you're talking to a really slow 4 year old - include a diagram of a phone with the main parts labeled - mouthpiece; earpiece; keyboard, etc.)\n\n5) How to get through life on looks alone\n\n6) How to tell stories so people will listen to the end (you could do it on jokes instead of stories)\n\n7) How to write a paper at the last minute without anyone knowing (only if you're brave and you can write this one really, really well)\n\n\nI know you think I'm kidding, but the truth is teachers get the same papers over and over again and if it's well written an offbeat topic can amuse them but make sure you know you're audience.

It totally depends on what you're doing for your science project. \nI would try to make your title as specific as possible, though.  That way, your grader knows exactly what the object of your project is and knows that YOU know exactly what your project is.  Vague, single-word titles aren't the way to go.  When I do science projects, I use somewhat lengthy (often over five words) titles that include modifiers and prepositional phrases.  They're more impressive, even though they're a little bombastic.  But you're not going for catchy; this is a science project, not an advertisement for the latest... whatever.

what the hell are teachers doing these days?! making their science students write freakin acrostic poems!\n\nbut really its easy!\ntake a bunch of facts you know about cells, because in a poem for a class besides creative writing or maybe english, facts are most important. \nthen find a bunch of words that start with those letters in your lists. or just come up with words randomly and attach a fact to it. \n\nc, chloroplast, cellula, cork, convert\ne, every, enzymes\nl, likenesses, life, lipid\ns, structure, self-contained, self-maintaining\nblah blah blah
