Why doesn't the ocean freeze? Students answer this question by simulating the chemical composition and temperature of arctic waters in their own home.

In this investigation, an oil spill is simulated in a jar to observe the damage that oil spills have on the ocean and ocean life.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

How does water pressure change with depth? Kids learn how pressure works underwater with this cool and easy demo.

This science fair project idea investigates if webbed feet help a duck (and others) swim.

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

This science fair project idea investigates whether air has mass and weight.

Help your second grader observe the phases of the moon, and then let the fun loose: he'll get to chart his observations with marshmallows!

How do animals keep warm? In this experiment, find out whether fat insulation resists cold temperatures and learn how this works in the animal kingdom.

Science fair project which determines whether the size or the thickness of a piece of paper has an effect on how many times it can be folded in half.

This simple heat transfer experiment is a great introduction to the concepts of heat transfer and conduction.

This fun experiment provides a concrete and visually striking illustration of photosynthesis.

What animals are most popular? This project affords practice in data-collection, record-keeping and data-analysis through the investigation of this question.

Which music genres have the fastest tempos? The slowest? This experiment determines if there's a relationship between beats per minute in a song and its genre.

Is it possible to trick the forces of nature that make your bubbles round to create a square bubble?

In this project children practice the scientific method while playing with puffy paint.

This project explores whether plants can live and grow when "watered" with juice, soda, or milk.

This project determines what category of person is most likely to be ticklish.

In this project combining nature, art, math, and science, children make rubbings of leaves then observe shapes and structures and sort the leaf images.
