Science Fair Project Ideas

Below is a list of websites with ideas for science projects. Volcanoes and science kits are NOT allowed.

The steps of the scientific method MUST be followed (sheet 2 in science fair packet) so projects MUST answer a question.

For example: (This was NOT really tested. I made it up :)

Problem: What type of water will help roses grow?
Hypothesis- I think zamzam water will help roses grow.
Materials- 4 rose plants, zamzam water, tap water, distilled water, salt water
Procedure- specific steps that will be used to test your hypothesis
Observations- include pictures, charts, drawings, etc.
Results/Why- The rose plant that was watered with distilled water for 1 month grew the most. Explain why you think so, even if your hypothesis was not correct.
