Science fair project which determines whether it is numerically possible to be connected to every person on the earth within six degrees of separation.

This science fair project idea recreates the movement of planetary bodies in order to learn why they sometimes appear to move backwards.

What is the hydrologic cycle and how does it work? Check out this fun and easy science project where you will model and learn about Earth's water cycle!

This science fair project idea explores whether boiling and freezing water will have an effect on how much it weighs.

Glass is see-through, but usually you can still see that it is there. In this experiment, we use baby oil to make glass go completely invisible.

Dive into the world of cooking oil and smoke points to discover just how fast some oils start smoking.

Find out whether optical mice are useful on all surfaces or if there are drawbacks to this supposedly superior solution to the traditional roller-ball mouse.

In this cool experiment, learn how to find specific gravity of minerals using liquids of different densities to see which substances and items sink and float.

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.

Get your fifth grader involved in some earth science by helping her plan and create her very own rock collection.

This science fair project idea explores whether the process used to dry the beans we eat for food renders them unviable.

This project uses science and art to help students learn and teach others about Earth's endangered and extinct species.

This experiment examines whether storing your orange juice at different temperatures affects its acidity.

Science fair project that compares the ecology of different soil samples by identifying which sample has the most invertebrates living in it.

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

Invite your fifth grader to test the different rates of liquid absorption in synthetic and cotton materials, such as nylon and cotton.

This science fair project idea investigates how optical distances change the apparent size of an object as seen through a magnifying lens.

Demonstrate how static electricity can cause an object to move. It also examines just how an object affected by static electricity will move.

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

Here is a quick experiment you can conduct at the playground to introduce or reinforce the concept of Newton's First Law, The Law of Inertia.

This tricky building block challenge asks your learner to think creatively. They will work on their divergent thinking skills as they try to fill up an index card perfectly with building bricks.

Wonder why bugs always fly around your lights at night? This experiment determines whether insects are attracted to the heat or the light.

Experiment with buoyancy to learn how a submarine rises and sinks in this classic science experiment.

Science fair project that compares the biodiversity of fungi in different ecosystems by identifying species of fungi.

This science fair project idea investigates how the height at which a pendulum is released affects the length of time it continues.

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