What is elasticity? Students will investigate how this concept applies to bouncing ball physics by testing the bounces of balls made out of different materials.

Learn about sound physics and do a survey experiment to explore the difference between sound and noise in this science project.

In this physics project, learn about the relationship between light intensity and distance using a laser pointer, flashlight, and graph paper!

Kids construct a single fixed pulley system to learn how pulleys can make work easier in this cool physics and engineering science fair project idea.

In this free science fair project, learn how to separate salt from water using heat. A great science project for elementary school kids.

Here is a fun middle school science project on factors affecting solubility. Learn how dissolved solids can "crash out" to form crystals when conditions change.

Using a toy race car kids create a visual model of the Doppler Effect.

In this project students experiment with making music using only glasses of water.

This project compares the strength of one, two, and three-ply toilet paper.

In this science fair experiment, children demonstrate the relationship between the amount of stuff and the amount of pressure in a closed system.

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?

In this sound experiment children listen for differences as they tap on a bag of air, a bag of water, and a wooden block held up to their ears.

In this air pressure science experiment with a balloon and a jar, children will use heat to create a partial vacuum and suck a balloon into a jar.

This science fair project idea determines if the size of the parachute will change the rate at which an object falls.

The goal of this golf science fair science fair project is to determine whether the temperature of a golf ball affects its elasticity and its rebound.

How does a kazoo, the strings of a guitar, or the speaker of a radio make sound? The purpose of this science fair project is to show how vibration makes sound.

This classic children's game demonstrates how sound travels through air vs. through a solid.

These science fair experiments demonstrate the chemistry of rust and the oxidation process.

This project demonstrates the correspondence between the volume of water displaced by a submerged object and the volume of the object displacing it.

Science fair project examining barometric pressure, and how it can be used to predict the weather. How does atmospheric pressures relate to weather conditions?

Collect meteorite dust with a magnet in your very own backyard! The objective of this science fair project is to gather meteorite dust to study outer space.

In this simple circular motion experiment, you'll observe tangential velocity and learn about how acceleration and centripetal force affect an object.

How does frost form? How fast does it form? Do this simple science project using a plastic glass, rock salt and some water to learn about deposition.

Find out whether a longer airplane will fly farther or a wider paper airplane.

This science fair project idea explores if the length of the string that an object is suspended on has an effect on how fast or slow it swings.

Learn about the role of Earth's rotation on the Coriolis Effect and hurricanes in this science project. Model the Coriolis Effect on a hurricane's direction.
