Does anyone have a good idea for an inquiry project for science?

Yea. Read 'Ishmael' from Daniel Quinn and study/do a project on population. You'll know what I mean if/when you read this defining book. :)

Here's a site with alot of different ideas and difficulty levels with instructions.  Maybe you can find something here.\n\nOr you can tell us more about what you are wanting to do and what you like and we might be more helpful on here.\n\nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/

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

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!

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask. It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.\nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice. Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions. Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

hey, well, i'm in eighth grade and i've seen a lot of great projects...is it just a project on anything scientific or is it in a certain area (physics, chemistry, etc)?\n\n\nfeel free to e-mail me\n\ncaty_rocks_ur_sox@yahoo.com

I used to judge high school level science projects, so here is what I would like to see:\n1. Make an observation about something that you want to try to explain or figure out. Why does this happen? That is the basic question you are going to answer. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering, but it helps if the answer is not already known to everyone. Floating Diet Coke and Coke cans to see which is denser is perhaps an interesting experiment, but hardly difficult to predict. Using coffee filters to do paper chromatography to separate compounds can be ingenious and dramatic, especially if you find something to test that is a real problem like detecting some sort of carcinogen in food. \n \n2. Research the project. Check in the library and on the internet for possible research that has been done similarly to your problem. Even if it has been done, you might want to retest the answer that other researchers got. Make a list of your research results as your references. Your ideas might change in this stage.\n\n3. Form a hypothesis about what you think will happen. You can have more than one. Your project should be able to be tested by an experiment. \n \n4. Design your experimental procedure. Write it out. Figure out what the variables are in your experiment and try to test only one of them at a time. Keep all the other variables constant. You can change the other variables to see the change in the effect of one variable on another variable. \n\n5. Record your data as you do the experiment. Keep lots of notes so that someone who wants to see your records can see what you have done. \n\n6. Do some calculations with your results. Make a graph, tables, and draw conclusions. \n\n7. Summarize it and state how it could be done differently or better. Here you can speculate about what sort of things might be meant by your results. \n\nIf you do all this stuff, even if your experiment is not dramatic, you are likely to impress the judges with your understanding of the scientific method. Of course, having an exciting and imaginative project is also going to be needed to get first place. \n\nAs for the content, there is so much to choose from it is hard to guide you. If you are interested in biology, you can grow some fast growing plants under different conditions and see what happens. If you like earth sciences you could do a test on greenhouse gases, using a CO2 cartridge to fill a container, plain air in another, and perhaps one with high water vapor content and see which one absorbs the most heat from sunlight. It always helps to find something you are curious about or that concerns you. Rather than listing lots of ideas I would recommend you go to this website and get some ideas, and then discuss it with your teacher:\n\nhttp://sciencebuddies.com/
