some good projects for kids are at-http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/sci/\nthese might be too easy for anyone older than a 3rd grader, but they're still something!\n my little brother is doing the water filter.  he's going to see which of the materials filters water best. good 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!

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.

Sorry I'm the kind of teacher you parents despair of because thats the kind of home work I'd set.  My class have to design and make a thermal insulator to stop ice melting this week!!!\n\nTry this link it might help\nhttp://www.volcanolive.com/model.html

U r asking for a science project.?\nI have an idea for the science project for chemistry side

I did a science fair project that combined science and economics - it was called "Which Dish Washing Liquid is Best for Your Buck".  I tested which dish washing liquid was the best by seeing how many drops of it were needed to destroy the surface tension of a glass of water.  I then figured out how much each drop of dish washing liquid cost, and reported on the best value.  The judges seemed to like the economics side of it as well as the science fair side of it.  Good Luck!

If you hyave a science fair project, I can really help. Your title should be "Heavy Metal." If you like please e-mail me @ sbcglobal.net, Thanks!!
