What is a good science fair project?

Answer 1

Some ideas for science fair projects are:

Experiment:

You can get 4 bottles and 4 balloons. Put yeast, sugar, and water in one bottle. In the second bottle, put yeast and sugar. In the third, put yeast and water. In the fourth, put just yeast. Then, put a balloon on the top of each bottle.

This is an experiment to see which balloon will go up higher. The more the balloon inflates, the better the yeast is working.

Experiment:

This experiment is about the bone matrix in a bone. This matrix is composed of principally of two things: collagen (kahl' uh jin) and minerals.

What the vinegar does is break down the minerals so that there is only collagen left. This makes the bone very bendy almost like rubber.

If this was what humans were made of you would be a giant rubber human!

But if you had only minerals in your bone, your bones would break even with the slightest bump!

Supplies:

An uncooked chicken bone (preferably a wishbone or wing)

A jar with a lid

Vinegar (preferably white)

Procedure:

1.Clean the bone of all the meat and tendons. Make it as bare as possible

2. Allow the bone to dry overnight.

3. The next day, test the bone by trying to gently bend it. But don't break it.

4. Fill the jar with enough white vinegar to cover the top of the bone.

5. Gently put the bone in the jar.

6. After about 1 day pull the bone out of the vinegar and test it. Do this for 7 days. Please take some pictures for your presentation. (use some water proof gloves if you don't want to touch it.)

7. Write down the difference you observe each time in a note book. With a picture if you want.

8. Put the bone back in the jar

9. Once the 7 days are done pour the vinegar out of the jar and into the drain. and clean up your mess.

Experiment:

You will need:

five friends: Choose ones who don't have Diabetes for this

sugar solution (sugar dissolved in water). There is a premade solution doctors use when they test people to see if they have diabetes, but in your case you can just use Kool-Aid. Make it from the kind you add your own sugar to, and use one cup of sugar per two quart pitcher. Give each person one eight-ounce glass of it.

away to do glucose testing.If you have lots of money, get a blood testing machine, lancets, and alcohol swabs. You can also get a couple bottles of Clinistix urine test strips and paper cups: They're less expensive and you don't have to jab yourself in the fingers over and over to get blood samples. If you have a friend who is diabetic and will let you borrow her machine, all you'll need is the little test strips that go in it, plus the lancets and swabs.

rubber gloves, because you should never do medical testing unless you wear gloves.

a television

Before you start, go to the doctor with your testing method and ask her how to use it right because you're doing a science project about blood glucose testing. She will teach you to use it.

Google "oral glucose tolerance test" and perform that twice on two separate days. On the first day, after you drink the Kool-Aid everyone sits and watches television. On the second, you drink the Kool-Aid, take one test, then everyone walks around the block for an hour and takes another test.

Answer 2

I always enjoyed making science projects of the planets or volcanos that showed how they erupt and form magna and rock.
