Showing Results for astronomy

This experiment will explore how manipulating a graph of historical information might reveal new information about data.

This experiment examines if space objects become round after reaching a certain mass.

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.

Science fair project that illustrates the properties of black holes in space.

In this project, you will observe and record changes in sunspots over two weeks.

Science fair project that demonstrates the different phases of the moon by physically representing them with construction paper and a shoebox

Become familiar with ratios and learn how to measure the diameter of the Sun and the Moon in this fun science fair project idea.

The objective of this science project is to investigate why NASA has been using aerogel for the Stardust Project for collecting gas and dust from comets.

Find the North Star, and measure your latitude! The purpose of this science fair project is to find latitude and learn about geographic locations.

In this free science fair project, build a star clock and learn how to tell time on a clear night by observing the big dipper!

Learn about the power of exponents. The objective of this science fair project is to explore and understand how exponents are used.

This experiment will explore the possibility of a connection between lunar cycles and how humans are affected.

Science fair project which helps you determine your latitude by using an astrolabe, which measures the angle between the North Star and the horizon.

Explore the craters, maria, and highlands on the surface of the Moon! In this fun science project you'll create a 3-D model of the moon using paper mache.

Science fair project that tests the correlation between outdoor temperature or weather conditions and the number of visible stars at night.

This fun science fair project for 8th grade demonstrates what Kepler's 3rd law predicts about a planet's orbital period and its distance from the sun.

This science fair project investigates why the number of visible stars changes from place to place.

Consult astronomers for opinions and advice. Devise a mathematical argument regarding the probability of other planets supporting extra-terrestrial life.

What is a barycenter? Kids learn how gravity and mass influence the orbit of binary systems like planets and moons or stars and planets in this cool experiment.

The moon doesn't produce its own light, so why can we see it shining in the sky? Learn about reflection and planetshine in this fun and easy science project!

Using a toy race car kids create a visual model of the Doppler Effect.

The goal of this science fair project is to identify the galactic center of the milky way using globular clusters, as found through Google Earth.

Calculate the mass of the Earth using the sidereal and calendar period of the Moon and Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation in this physics science project!

How do the phases of the Moon and gravity cause spring tides and neap tides? Does the Sun play a role in the tides? Figure it out in this fun science project!

The purpose of this science fair project is to investigate whether we can simulate how craters are formed and predict their size and shape.

The objective of this project is to evaluate whether a top will spin at different rates during different phases of the moon.

What cause the phases of the moon? Make a model to see how the positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth cause the crescent, gibbous, quarter, full, and new moon.

What causes the seasons to change? Kids find out by modeling the earth's tilt using a globe, flashlight and graph paper in this cool science fair project idea.

This project concerns activity happening millions of miles away, on the sun.
