Applied Math Science Fair Projects

Math is an elegant way to model the behavior of pretty much everything we can observe, and kids who won't settle for simply learning their multiplication tables will love exploring the applied math problems in these cool math science fair projects and math fair project ideas. These enlightening experimental procedures have little mad scientists doing everything from deriving equations for how powerful bed springs are to determining how the bore of a rocket's nozzle influences the amount of force the escaping gas can exert.
