Make an Anemometer!
An anemometer is a device that tells you how fast the wind is blowing. The device you can build is a model of a wind speed indicator. A real one will be able to accurately measure how fast the wind is blowing. Yours will give you only approximation of how fast it's ...
Plotting: What Is The Direction of the Magnetic Lines of Force Around a Magnet?
The invisible magnetic field around a magnet is made up of lines of force that move out of the north pole of the magnet and into the south pole. In this science fair project, you will observe the direction of the magnetic lines of force around a magnet.
The Ultimate Rollercoaster
The objective of this science fair project is to observe the properties of friction and apply this knowledge to search for a near-frictionless surface.
Buoyancy: Upward Force by Fluids
Why do liquids push some objects upward when placed inside? Learn about the nature of buoyancy in this experiment!
Measuring Gravitational Acceleration of a Rolling Object
Check out this cool science fair project idea on measuring the gravitational acceleration of a rolling object.
Which Slope Best Allows An Object To Complete A Loop?
What makes an object go faster: the angle of the slope or the size and weight of the object? The objective of this science fair project is to determine which slope angle allows a marble to complete a loop.
Turning Hand Warmers into Hot Ice Sculpture
This experiment provides a graphic illustration of the chemical reaction that happens when you activate a hand warmer.
Comparing Acidity in Battery Acid, Candy, and Soda
The objective of this science fair project idea is to discover whether the acidity of sour candy is comparable to that of battery acid and whether soda actually exceeds it in acidity.
What Kind Of Paper Airplane Works Best?
The objective of this science fair project idea is to build your own wind tunnel and to test different models of paper airplane.
Calories: Biochemical Energy
Experiment to compare the difference between gram calories and food calories and determine the amount of heat energy released from carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
