Kids often ask, "how tall am I?" This science fair project seeks to determine how well kids can guess their own heights.

This science fair project explores how osmotic pressure forces water through the root up into the plant.

This science fair project uses paper chromatography to investigate whether black, brown, orange, and purple are pure colors or mixtures of other colors.

Why does purple cheese look nasty? Because color plays a big part in how we perceive the taste of different foods. Are birds just like us in this respect?

In this science fair project, students focus sunlight with a magnifying glass and trap shorter waves to melt ice.

Marshmallows are made of sugar, water, and air pockets. Since the marshmallow is flexible, will air pressure cause it to expand when heated in a microwave?

This science project encourages students to investigate the Mozart Effect, the idea that classical music promotes learning.

What is condensation? Little mad scientists will learn about condensation, states of matter, and air pressure by conducting this cool science experiment.

Checkerboard play challenges students to use spatial reasoning and computational thinking.

Science fair project that teaches you about chemical indicators and how to make your own in order to identify various mystery solutions.

This science fair project idea studies which kind of rock (sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic) is most damaged by frozen water.

This science fair project idea explores whether a plastic slinky works as well as a metal slinky when walking it down the stairs.

Stories change as you retell them. The objective of this science fair project is to demonstrate how information gets interpreted, distorted and changed.

Can a horse lead itself to the carrot? Train your horse with carrots and boxes and test horse memory in this fun zoology science fair project.

Is it amplitude? Weight? Length of string? Kids will discover what factors changing the period of a pendulum depends on in this fun and easy physics experiment.

Find out whether soil amendments can improve soil conditions and help you grow a bigger beanstalk in this ecology experiment!

Students explore hot desert plant adaptations in this cool science fair project by observing how these organisms prevent excessive transpiration.

With this science fair idea, little scientists will gain valuable insights into the physics behind throwing a baseball.

Do lefties just write different or are their brains different? This science project has students explore what it means to be left handed.

In this science fair project, kids measure how weather conditions affect how fast a puddle evaporates.

Science fair project which tests various sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks to find out whether one rock family is stronger than the others.

Along with being an interesting science activity, dehydrated strawberries are also tasty â and healthy!

Science fair project in which you will learn more about the natural world by preserving and identifying different animal tracks.

In this fun guessing game, your child uses his sense of smell and taste to figure out what is in the container. Here's how to play:

This science fair project introduces children to static electricity and the idea that electricity is more than lights and plugs.

What is mulch? Kids will provide soil with a wet blanket of mulch and see if that helps keep drought-stricken soil damp.

This science project teaches students the relationship between compost and plant growth. Students conduct an experiment with different types of compost.

Did you know a mouse eats almost fifty times as much as a cow? Find out how and test out the strange science with your friends!

In this science fair project, we'll use a liquid crystal thermometer to find out whether exercising makes a difference in people's temperature.

You've heard the expression "burn rubber" but do you know how heat affects rubber? Examine the impact of temperature on rubber in this fun science experiment.
