There is no currently known technology for a zero gravity project on earth. No substance or material will "insulate" an object on earth from gravity. It (gravity) will always be present pulling down on everything here. It "reaches through" all known materials to anything above them. The best that can be hoped for is to figure out a way to use magnetics or something else to "levitate" an object against the force of gravity. A fan and moving air would supply upward force to offset the effects of gravity, and we see that in the so-called skydiving wind tunnel. There may be some other ways to apply a force on an object that will counter gravity, and the curious investigator will look for any as he considers what is suggested here.

Can gravity be blocked?
No. There is no gravity 'insulator'. If you tried to build a wall between you and the Earth to block the Earth's gravity from reaching you, it would not only have no effect on the Earth's gravity reaching you, but the gravitational force on you would be even stronger, because you would also be attracted to the mass of the wall. Every two masses are gravitationally attracted toward each other, and that's all there is to it. It makes no difference what's in between them.
What apparatus found in science labs can cause your hair to stand on end?
The effect can be caused by a Van de Graaff generator which causes static electricity to build up to enormous voltages. They are demonstrated a many science museums.
How can gravity be stored?
Gravity, in its physical sense, cannot be stored. It is not possible, for instance, to make an object which will build up energy and then spontaneously attract other objects (like a Star Trek "tractor beam").However, the energy from gravity can be stored by performing work to lift an object off the ground, then suspending it there. For instance, if you are in a car and you drive to the top of the hill, the motor of the car burned fuel to get to the top. When you are at the top, however, you can simply drive the car downhill, releasing the stored potential energy of gravity to provide acceleration downhill.
What did Albert Einstein do after he helped to build the atomic bomb?
Albert Einstein did not work on the Manhattan Project, the US efforts to develop the atomic bomb. He was denied sufficient security clearance to do so. He did however write a letter to President Roosevelt, composed by his friend Leo Szilard, who did work on the project. Einstein was a teacher.
Why havent humans been able to build a fusion reactor?
We have not been able to build a stable, controlled fusion reactor because of the problem of confinement. In order to sustain a fusion reaction, we need to hold the fuel together. That requires tremendous energy in order to overcome the electromagnetic force that would otherwise cause the various nuclei to repel each other, and in order for the residual binding energy (nuclear force) to initiate fusion.In the Sun, that is easy. Gravity does it. Problem is, that a reactor large enough to use gravity would be larger than the Earth and would destroy the Earth.Its not a "problem" with an uncontrolled fusion bomb. We have that technology perfected. The "problem" is doing so in a controlled fashion, and we have not been able to do so for more than about 500 milliseconds.Other methods are being explored, such as inertial confinement and magnetic confinement. Magnetic confinement is the basis for the Tokamak, which is the foundation of the ITER project in France. There are substantial technical issues involved, and we do not expect first plasma production until 2019, with end of project slated for 2038. Even then, we are only talking about 500MW thermal output for 1000 seconds, based on 50MW of input power, with no production of electricity - all at a cost of around 100 billion euros.

Is there a science project involving computers Please help me?
Genrally speaking no; however Using a computer to do a science project may involve programming -- pattern analysis, data interpretation; many things are available. A science project about computers could cover how to build one from just parts, how to upgrade a PC.
What is a good water science project?
A miniature model of a hurricane. Although it is very tough to build, me and my friends built a model and we got an A++.
