A model of the ancient city of Machu Pichu would be really cool and earn her a good grade

When warm weather settles in, take them on a nature hike.  Most teens will think this is cheesy, but the competition will soon settle in.\n\nPlay a seeking game.  Create a list of items, with points attached, of things that are around their school.  List the scientific name (ones studied in class and some hard one for bonus pts)...deducting points if they have to ask about their common name.\n\nItems can included leaves, feathers, rocks, etc.  Make it a week long project where kids can work in teams.\n\nMy 10th grade Bio teacher did this...and even though we moaned at first at how childish the game was...we all aced our test the following week, and had a good competition.\n\n(We got some sort of reward, but I forget what it was.)

What are you supposed to model?  Is this a science project?  Do you need to choose something to do?  Or do you have a specific idea you're supposed to explain?

Social Studies fair project is a big topic.  I am also not sure what grade you are in...so I am not sure if this is a good answer.  How about pick a topic (women's rights, discrimination, drugs, safety, world news, current events) and do a survey.  You can print up question sheets and have your friends, family, and classmates answer them.  For your fair, you can present your findings on a poster or something.

Anything that is going to make her use her imagination and is not going to get chucked into the back of her closet after a couple of minutes.  At that age, I would have loved a scrap booking kit.  Wal-Mart sells quite a few aimed at that age group that vary in price.  I don't know what the price limit is, but a scrap-booking kit and an inexpensive digital camera is something that she could use for quite some time.  Also a boxed set of books from her favorite genre.  The Chronicles of Narnia are popular.  Does she still play with toys?  Board games are something fun that she can enjoy with people of all ages. "Sorry", "Clue", and "Monopoly" are great games.

I know the Incas did it a lot too...The Peabody Museum at Yale had a Machu Picchu exhibit a couple of years back and they had some deformed skull replicas and how they did it.

There is a good collection of Pagan symbols on Google Images. Lots of good historic books in the library, look at American Folk Magic. I hope your class work is positive, young people should be introduced to the old religions and rituals.

A model volcano is always a hit. Or a model of the solar system. For the latter, just string some colored balls on the interior of a shoe box painted black. Pretty simple.

1. Your first answerer, charolette r, has not answered your question. So don't bother going to www.nicaragua.com/culture, because there are no photos to be seen there.\n\n2. Have a look at the photos here:\nhttp://www.vianica.com/photo/1/6\nhttp://www.vianica.com/go/specials/6-racial_groups_Nicaragua.html\nhttp://www.nicaliving.com/node/1833\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fiestas_Patronales_de_Santo_Domingo_de_Guzman_Managua.jpg\nhttp://www.terraexperience.com/Nicaraguan_Doll_Clothes_American_Girl_18_Inch_Doll_Chica_Nica_Doll_Project.htm\n\nThis kind of information is readily accessible via a simple internet search (see below). I hope this is useful.
