Descriptions of five experiments and a list of other ideas for possible science fair projects for Grade 7.

Access a wealth of resources for a coordinating a successful science fair. This section of the Science Fair Studio site is organized into several sections: "Why Do a Science Fair?", "Types of Projects,", "Science Fair Coordinator's...

This science fair project shows you how to transform a noisy piece of metal into a sound-muffling constrained-layer damper. You will record the sound of a controlled impact on a piece of metal with a microphone, a computer, and some free...

Around the world, rooftops are being transformed into living green expanses. Besides beauty, rooftop gardens have a number of advantages, including growing food and taking carbon dioxide out of the air while releasing breathable oxygen....

The word rabid often makes people think of an animal that is extremely violent, crazy, and maybe even foaming at the mouth. But not all animals infected with the rabies disease fit that description. Nevertheless, it is important to avoid...

In this science fair project you can take on the role of a wildlife biologist by examining the biodiversity of insects in your own backyard. To do this, you will follow the directions to create a homemade bug vacuum.

To supertasters, the flavors of foods are much stronger than to average tasters. This can explain why some people are more picky about their food than others, because they experiences tastes in a much stronger form. Find out if you are a...

You can actually make objects come together by blowing air between them. This is a simple way of implementing Bernoulli's principle. Find out how wind changes air pressure to bring to objects together in this easy and fun science fair...

You might like to play in the autumn leaves and winter snow, but have you noticed that many birds don't like to stick around for the cold weather? And instead of the birds you're used to seeing in the warm months, your new feathered...

Have you ever been to an animal show and seen a sea lion balance a ball on his nose, or a tiger jump through a hoop? Or maybe you've met dogs who can sit, fetch, shake, or beg on command. The range of tricks that you can teach animals is...

How do you figure out how to get places? Do you ask for directions, look at a map, or consult a compass? There are many ways for people to figure out how to travel from one place to another, but how do other animals do it? In this...

If you were leaving home for a long walk, how far would you go? One mile, 5 miles, 10 miles? How about 550 miles?. That's a long way, but some wolves have been known to travel that far when they are leaving their packs in search of a...

Did you know that your body has a built-in cooler? And it might not be what you think. Sweat is produced when you are hot, but its purpose is actually to cool your body as the water in it evaporates from your skin. In this science fair...

For this science fair project, you will build a device that records your nocturnal pet's activity by monitoring movement of its exercise wheel to see how it varies during the day and night. You can also experiment with various ways of...

In this science fair project, design and build a mechanical sunflower device that faces the Sun as the sun moves through the sky. By harnessing solar energy, your sun tracker should follow the movement of the sun.

The Sun is the ultimate source of the energy that powers weather systems on Earth. Geomagnetic storms are sun-powered storms in the upper atmosphere, arising from energized particles that are periodically ejected by the Sun. Among other...

Why are those "simple" games at the fairs, carnivals, and boardwalks so hard? Is it really lack of skill or coordination or do those concessionaires use some basic laws of science to help them set up the games in their favor? This...

Although Woolly Mammoths have been extinct for thousands of years, scientists continue to learn more and more about this mighty animal. Some of the most exciting new research is being produced by looking at DNA extracted from the hair...

If you have ever had to adjust to a new time zone, you have noticed that it takes a while before you start to feel normal again. By shifting your sleep and activity schedule, you have altered the pattern of your body's circadian rhythms....

Gross. What is that in the toilet? But maybe it's not just gross. Did you know there are bacteria that digest organic waste and create electrons? What if there was a way to collect those electrons to power a circuit? In this science fair...

The poet Carl Sandburg wrote, "The fog comes on little cat feet". In this weather science fair project, you'll discover why this beautiful, quiet creeper appears on some days, and not on others. If you are fascinated by fog and weather...

Did you know that not all trains run on tracks? Some of the world's fastest trains are magnetic levitation trains (maglev). This means that the carriage of the train is suspended over the rails with no support, but only with magnetic...
