This study evaluates if electronic devices commonly found in most households emit radiation, and if they do, how much?

This experiment explores whether reading text on a computer screen or type on paper leads to better retention of the information read.

This science project has students collect wood samples and invent new uses for different types of wood based on its properties.

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

This activity challenges students to use computational thinking as they create a sequence of commands that will make a robot navigate around several obstacles.

Children have a naturally inquisitive mind. Foster their curiosity with a walk through an autumn field or park to answer age-old “why” questions. As you walk with your child, you can encourage them to ask questions.

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.

Kids often ask, "how tall am I?" This science fair project seeks to determine how well kids can guess their own heights.

Young scientists will investigate people's preferences for saltiness, and make some inferences about genetics and diet.

What is a compound microscope? Kids find out by making one of their own in this cool science fair project.

This science fair project idea teaches that time always passes at the same rate and nothing we do in our daily life âreallyâ affects how fast it moves.

What's the science behind those out-of-sight roots? Find out if you can trick roots into growing in different directions.

In this experiment, young ecologists will learn about a type of edge effect: how trees and plants at the edge of a forest can act as a weed filter.

Kids discover what a homogeneous mixture is by adding sugar to distilled water and identify the various factors affecting solubility.

This science fair project idea explores whether it is easier to balance on a narrow ledge or on a rope.

Soil and energy don't go together, right? That would be as bizarre as a pairing of peanut butter and marshmallows! Well, actually...

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

Science fair project that determines whether lettuce that is harvested gradually yields more produce than lettuce that is harvested all at once.

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.

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

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

Observe how your brain works while it is focused on one thing, and how it works while you are distracted by another thing.

Set off an a science adventure as you prepare a row of bee homes for your new visitors.

What chromosome combinations determine a fetus gender? Use probability to think about whether a sperm and ovum will create a male or female in this project.

In this activity, students will be challenged to describe and count the ways a toy moves from one position on a grid to another.

Did you know a mouse eats almost fifty times as much as a cow? Find out how and test out the strange science with your friends!

This science project challenges students to learn about and classify weeds and discover new practical uses for weeds.

This science fair project examines how seeds hitchhike on animals and clothing.

Science fair project that identifies the differences between soils from different environments and attempts to figure out why those differences exist.

The purpose of this study is to determine if people can tell the difference between organic and conventional food from looking at, smelling and tasting it.
