Use a very catchy and/or clever title, and put a demo in front of it.  Demos are good because they will draw people in and allow them to interact with your project.\nUsing eye-catching images and bright colors certainly won't hurt.  \nGood luck with your science fair project!

A solar eclipse occurs when another planet (or the Moon) passes between the the Earth and the Sun and blocks the light from reaching the Earth.

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

Really easy project: http://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/clinometer/clinometer.html\n\nEasy trebuchet: http://hila.webcentre.ca/projects/trebuchet/index.htm\n\nEasy dome: http://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/dome/dome.html\n\nMeasure the diameter of the sun with geometry: http://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/pinhole_sun/sun_diameter.html\n\n\n\nA suspension bridge would be a nice project because the shape of the main cables that holds up the bridge is a mathematical curve called a "catenary."\n\nhttp://www.infovisual.info/05/028_en.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_bridges\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary  (This article explains that the St. Louis Arch is an inverted catenary, and it even gives it's dimensions and the formula of the curve.  You could make a scale model.)\n\nAnd, it looks like I'm wrong  about suspension bridges.  Their main cables are parabolas, because of the weight of the deck.\n\nHere are some more projects you can check out:\n\nhttp://www.astrocappella.com/activities/cosr_lp.html (make the umbrella rigid by painting plaster on it)\n\nSolar reflectors would be good projects using parabolas: \nhttp://www.hilaroad.com/camp/projects/solar_energy/Hila_Solar_Energy.html\nhttp://www.cockeyed.com/incredible/parabola/parabola.html\nhttp://www.humboldt.edu/~ccat/solarcooking/parabolic/parabolic_solar_cooker_pg_3_html.htm\nhttp://peacecorps.mtu.edu/solarcookers.htm\nhttp://jc-solarhomes.com/fair/parabola20.htm

a school science project?\nhow about a demonstration of how light flows through fiber optic cable, how you can change the color with a color wheel, change the look with different diameter fiber cable and lengths. you could make a really cool display that looks like a galaxy or some celestial picture...only thing is it has to be viewed in complete darkness, so you may have to build it in a box- or just turn out the lights. you could relate how it has effected the telecommunications world, etc...\nonly thing is may be hard to find cable at a cheap price with out buying bulk- but if you are resourceful you may do it, or you could buy cheap pens, or a hobby store may carry it. then as a light source use an LED and make a color wheel with clear plastic sheeting and colored sharpie pens, and battery energy source.\n\nhttp://www.cablecominc.com/fiber.jpg\nhttp://www.network-cables-guide.co.uk/images/fibre-optic.jpg\nhttp://www.arcelect.com/fibercable.htm\nhttp://electronics.howstuffworks.com/fiber-optic.htm\nhttp://www.delmartrading.com/images/products/FiberOpticPen.jpg\n\ngood luck, have fun
