Does anyone have any ideas on what to do for a science project without using foood, any liquid and is short.?

Ask mom or dad if you can borrow their camera for your project.  You need a camera that will let you set the shutter to open for say an hour.  ON a clear night go outside in a very dark place and place the camera on a table open the shutter to take the picture and wait.  The Picture you will see will be of the stars only they should show signs of having tails..  This will show the amount of distance the planet moved and rotated in relation to the fixed point ( the stars )  It will also give you a cool picture.  Good luck.

Experiment w/ what works for you.

Search at these sites.  It can be done, but it is usually not economical.\n\nhttp://www.scirus.com/srsapp/\n\nhttp://www.scienceresearch.com/search/

Water is crucial to photosynthasis, but you may be surprised at the results of other liquids (that are water based of course, everything else will kill the plant---fast!) Just play around with it, that is the fun of experiments. Try some liquids that are more acidic and some that are more basic. Sprite, asprin dissolved in water.... Maybe try coffee--I know that coffee grounds work as a great compost and make plants grow faster and fuller. Who know? Good luck & have fun!

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

Try this site. I just looked at it and it looks pretty neat. Going to bookmark it for my grandchildren...\n\n  \n\nRainbow in the bottle? - All Science Fair Projects You can make a rainbow in a bottle. Although visual effects were used to enhance the rain bow, you can create it!! I will post that thread so you can learn ...\nclassroom.all-science-fair-projects.com/ forum/showthread.php?t=1072 - 81k - Cached - Similar pages \n\n21: Rainbow in a Bottle\nWith just the bottom of a clear 2-liter bottle as a containter, it is possible to show that water is capable of separating white light (from a flashlight, for example) into its full spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet or ROYGBIV, for short).\n\nAdding a mirror makes it possible to make a bright rainbow in reflection-almost** like the real thing-by placing a small mirror at an angle into the container and setting it in a sunny window so that sunlight strikes the mirror. A rainbow (**shape is different) appears above the mirror and can be projected on a piece of white paper or a white wall. (This can also be done with a flashlight, although the effect is much less dramatic.)\n\nMaterials: Bottom of clear 2-liter bottle (cut off about 20 cm. from the bottom), small mirror (edges taped or enclosed), water, white paper or poster board; bright flashlight; small containers (foam, paper, etc.) to hold water, plastic droppers, waxed paper.\n\nSafety: handle glass mirrors carefully: do not use any with cracks or sharp edges\n\nProcedure: \n1. (To show that water can separate white light into colors) Fill bottom of 2-liter bottle almost full of water. One person should shine the flashlight at edge and adjust angle while another person hold a piece of white paper to act as a screen to observe the "rainbow". Keep adjusting to see the widest strip with all the colors.\n\n2. Place a mirror in the container of water. Adjust mirror angle and container position in sunny window until sunlight is on the mirror and rainbow is projected upward. (Although it does not work as well, the effect can also be seen with a bright flashlight. If you need to use the flashlight method, do it in the darkest place available or it may be impossible to see the colors.) Observe colors-order and intensity-as well as shape of "rainbow". In what ways does this differ from a rainbow as seen in the sky? \nNote that this rainbow is in front of the reflector (mirror) and is being projected back towards the Sun. (In a sky rainbow you must stand with your back to the Sun to see the rainbow also.) Perhaps in a sky rainbow, something is reflecting the light back to you as well as splitting it into colors. What could that something be?\n\n2. Can water reflect light? To see that it can, put some water in a bowl and look at it. Can you see your reflection? Can just a tiny drop of water reflect? (Drop water on waxed paper and look for reflections of overhead lights, etc.)\n\nWisconsin Standards:\nPhysical Science: D.4.8 Observe light\nhttp://www.ripon.edu/faculty/nortonm/dailyscience.html

vinegar and baking soda. \nWill also be fun experiment for them!

a salt water mix. mix it in a spray bottle. should turn it pretty quick depending on how much salt you use.

Do not go for the normal, typical projects that wind up at every science fair--the volcano, the planet mobile, etc.  Just do a project on something you are truly interested in.  Anything can be a science fair project:\n\nDoes expensive lipstick last longer than cheap lipstick?\nDo vegetables last longer on the counter or refrigerated?\nWhich hamburger molds first: McDonald's, Burger King's, or Hardee's?\nDo food packages really contain the amount (weight) of food they list on their packaging?\nCan people tell the difference between namebrand vs. generic shampoo, soda, candy, etc?

Items needed -\n\nPlastic Bottle\nDry Ice\n\nHow to do it..\n\nPut some dry ice in the bottom of a empty water bottle - little chunks of it should be fine. Put about an inch or two of it in the bottom, you dont need much at all\n\nNow here is the dangerous part..\n\nPut some cool or warm water in the bottle, just pour it in almost to the top, leave about an inch or two, now put the cap QUICK and throw it or put it on the ground, it could go off quick, or take a few minutes.\n\nIf will expand and expand until it goes off, so if you think nothign is happending, you are WRONG. Give it at least 5 minutes. If it has not gone off, throw rocks or somethin at it and then it should go off.

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

Here's a tip, leave the baking soda and something a bit complicated.  Like a Lemon battery. I have a site that has choc loads of interesting things.  Most of all very simple.

OK I'm cheating - I put this answer up a little while ago.\n\nA quick and dirty idea for a physics project would be one based on electromagnetism. Without knowing what grade you're targeting, a simple one that has a fair amount of pizzazz is to build a gauss rifle. Checkout http://sci-toys.com/scitoys/scitoys/magnets/gauss.html\n\nThe sci-toys site has some other pretty cool stuff that you might find useful as well.\n\nFor a more advanced example, you can make a small rail gun that applies similar principles but can have a much larger kick. Just do a search on "rail gun experiment".\n\nEnjoy!!

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! :)

You could do a base and acid mix and explain the reaction, such as vinegar and baking soda.\n\nAlso the erupting marshmallow mixture is pretty cool... and edible.\n\nCheck out this link for a bunch of cool activities you could do.\nhttp://www.calstatela.edu/dept/chem/chem2/LACTE/K12.html
