Anyone know a good, simple (but not that simple) idea for a science fair project?

test different areas of your school for bacteria and see which is the most contaminated.  For example you could test the toilets in the bathrooms, men VS women, also the cafeteria, ice machines, door knobs to different classrooms, locker rooms.  Try guess which will be the cleanest and the most contaminted...you'd be surprised of your results

Okay..I'd go with the animal cell. Usually easier.\n\nGet something round that you can glue things to. I bought myself a Styrofoam ball and cut it in half. This is your cell membrane.\n\nER - you know those fuzzy things with a wire inside that you can bend in any shape? Those are good.\n\nRibosomes - Just dot in black dots. -shrugs-\n\nCytoplasm - Colour in the inside of the Styrofoam.\n\nNucleus - Cotton ball\n\nGolgi Apparatus - That candy. Forget what it's called. It's like long and thin and got sugar on it. Really sour. Anyway..fold it over a couple of times.\n\nMitochondia - Raisins.\n\nIf you want to use the above for a plant just put green construction paper around the ball, in a square obviously.\n--\n\nAnother way to make a plant or cell is to use a bowl and put jello in it and then stick all the materials inside the jello. If you do it just right, it'll come out AMAZING. Only thing is it melts in the classroom and if you don't do it right, it looks unbelievably bad. If you want to take a risk and have a bunch of time, try this.

Hello Maggie,\n\nDon't worry: the egg drop project is a classic for science teachers, and, therefore, there are a lot of solutions out there on the web. Check out the following site, you'll find all the answers you need, and more: http://users.adelphia.net/~jberger5/eggdrop.html

All of these seem to have good starts for ideas.  You should be able to find plenty of good projects that you'll be able to work on prior to your science fair,\n\nhttp://yahooligans.yahoo.com/Science_and_Nature/Experiments_and_Activities/Science_Fairs/\nhttp://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/projectguide/\nhttp://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/\nhttp://www.scifair.org/\nhttp://www.cdli.ca/sciencefairs/\nhttp://www.isd77.k12.mn.us/resources/cf/ideas.html\nhttp://staff.washington.edu/chudler/fair.html\n\nGood Luck

Hi!  This has been my fav. site when it came to doing science projects so far.  http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/index.php\nRemember to call your local papers and have a write up done on it so you have a good turn out for the crowd.  Good luck!

Howstuffworks has good diagrams and explanations that may help you.  Good luck.

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

I would suggest the rock cycle. This is a basic earth science project that you can make as simple or complex as you want. You can identify the three major parts and how they interact going from one part of the cycle to another. You can identify the different properties of these rocks (and find samples if you want). If you want to make it really elaborate, you can bring in how plate tectonics drives the rock cycle, and how volcanism, metamorphism, and sedimentation form the Earth's surfaces.\n\nAnother topic that might be interesting to you would be to identify all the products and materials around you that come from rocks and minerals. Since this includes almost everything (e.g gypsum wallboard, clay in ceramics, iron in cars, aluminum in beverage containers and cars, plastic made from oil, shampoo made from oil, household detergent made from oil, electricity made from burning coal and natural gas, salt on your table, etc). You could look for the most surprising things, and could perhaps include how soil is made from weathered rock so even trees and plants come from rocks. You can do some research on how each of these materials is mined and where it comes from. You get the idea, right? \n\nDepending on where you live, you might do something on natural hazards in your area.If you have earthquakes you could find a fault map for your area and research earthquake hazards. If you have landslides or coastal erosion you could research what causes these things. Of course, if you live next to a volcano that is an excellent topic.  For example, see if you can find an eruption hazard map.  You might want to make sure your teacher approved of this because it might not be within the scope of your class (some teachers might consider this geography more than earth science). \n\nJust a bunch of ideas from a geologist. Hope this helps.

if u want to make a good sciences project and u want it easy take a cup and add watter and then grab a piece of cardboard and and cover the glass and then turn the cup upside down and then the water wont fall ok
