There are many benefits to bugs and insects. This science project shows how cockroaches, termites, and other critters benefit our planet.

In this project, create and examine garden mulch to find out what critters live in the messy, muddy layers just above the soil.

Cinnamon is tasty, but does it have super powers as well? Find out if cinnamon can repel mosquitoes in this outdoorsy experiment.

What is surface tension? Kids will discover how water-skating insects use surface tension to keep from sinking by making a model water walker.

Study the life cycle of the common blowfly as it relates to forensic investigation. Record the first time you see flies, maggots, and eggs.

Wiggly worms are known for staying buried in the soil, but how does that affect plants? Are earthworms and plant growth related?

In this free science fair project idea, we learn about surface tension and how it can support mass—in this case, a floating paper clip.

What do worms eat? Kids find out what kinds of rotting leaves and vegetables worms prefer in this cool compost science fair project.
