In this science fair experiment, high school students fit the growth pattern of bacteria to a mathematical model and predict future colony expansion.

This project examines how temperature affects the volume of gas in balloons.

Test whether cutting up meats will make it cook faster than just cooking it whole.

Find out whether cast iron or regular teflon pans heat up faster and also retain their heat longer.

Read on this high school science fair project idea to get basic information on the process of heat transfer and the conditions under which the transfer occurs.

Check out this fun science fair project idea for middle school students to learn about the effects of temperature on the density of a gas such as air.

Here's a fun at-home activity that will help your child strengthen math skills using high and low temperature data, and become a master temperature tracker!

This science fair project idea quantifies exactly how accurate the cricket thermometer is.

Explore how you can achieve magnetic levitation with the Meissner Effect! This cool science project explains formation and applications of a superconductor.

Based on the concept of water's "freezing point," this activity entails the lowering of water's freezing point to chill ice cream!

Determine the relationship between the speed of a sound and the temperature of the air it passes through.

Determine whether a hot liquid cools off faster when liquid is added before or after a two minute wait.

Determine which metal has the highest rate of conductivity.

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

Most people assume that cold water freezes more quickly, but could that be false? Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Let's find out!

Bake some cookies with an oven that collects sunlight and traps the shorter wavelengths (heat!).

Explore joule heating and resistance vs. temperature with this cool electricity science fair project that gets kids melting ice cubes with resistors.

Determine whether magic salt is more effective at melting snow than regular salt. Pour one ounce of salt over the ice cubes, compare the melt downs.

This project examines the affect of temperature on viscosity and surface tension of different liquids.

What is the coldest temperature possible? In this cool experiment, you'll calculate absolute zero by extrapolating data on the temperature and volume of gas.
