Science fair project which simulates the global conveyor belts on a small scale, and observes the effects of wind, density and temperature on water movement.

Here's a fun activity that will have your child researching, collecting, and charting plant specimens from the neighborhood.

Learn about the effect of artificial light on plant growth versus natural sunlight and delve into some biology and botany concepts in this science project.

What are the effects of colored light on plant growth? Explore plant behavior in this cool botany science fair project and learn about phototropism!

In this experiment, you'll make a seafloor spreading model to learn more about how plate tectonics work and create mid-ocean ridges.

You've heard all about oil spills, but can they really be that bad? After all, vegetable oil is in almost every yummy baking good from cookies to brownies.

Test whether plants can grow without sunlight and water.

This science fair project idea compares biodiversity between drops of water.

In this science fair project, students examine under what conditions individual plants release seeds and how far the seeds are released.

This project determines the age of a tree using a growth factor chart instead of cutting the tree down to count the rings in its base.

This science fair project examines which fruits and/or vegetables will ripen prematurely when placed with ripe apples.

This science fair project idea investigates how a bottom keel helps keep a boat from rocking back and forth.

Find out whether putting something on top of a plant will inhibit its growth.

This science fair project examines how tsunamis travel by simulating a tsunami moving around an island. You will generate a pretend tsunami in a swimming pool.

Find out whether packaged seeds actually do expire in this new science fair project idea.

Will potatoes spud or sprout faster in dry, dark, or cold conditions? Find out in this science fair project idea!

This science fair project compares the allelopathic affects of juglone, a chemical agent produced by the Black Walnut tree, on two plants.

In this plant habitats activity, children play the role of an ecologist and take surveys of different areas to discover the best habitat for dandelions.

Explore if planting seeds in a certain direction will affect how fast it germinates.

Watch pre-packaged seeds and seeds taken from inside fruits and vegetables grow. Which ones will grow faster? Read more in this science fair project idea.

Every time a sound is produced it emits a sound wave. This experiment demonstrates how sound travels, using nothing more than a spoon and a string!

In this microwave plant experiment, find out whether microwave radiation will affect radish seed germination. Will it help or hinder the plants' growth?

What heats up fasterâwater or soil? 5th grade students test the specific heat of water against the specific heat of sand in this great science fair project.

Using an empty tennis ball can and a swimming pool, you will determine if it's possible to have a conversation under water.

With this hands-on activity, you'll show how fall colors are hidden in the leaf all year long!

Brine shrimp usually live in saltwater. Investigate how salt concentration (salinity) affects the rate at which brine shrimp eggs hatch.

Examine whether distilled water, spring water, or regular tap water yield faster plant growth.

This science fair project idea discovers if an artificial light source will yield the same plant health and growth rates as light from the sun.
