Two virtual labs offer practice for creating your own or science project: "How Does Your Garden Grow" and "Critters!" Learn how investigations are conducted from the first step to the finished product.

Put your interest in computers into an investigation of the career of computer hardware engineer. If you want to improve the speed and function of your computer, this is your career. This Science Buddies site lays out the requirements...

Egg allergies are not uncommon, therefore many egg substitutes are sold in order to bake, and cook recipes that call for them. In this science project idea, you'll investigate how to modify recipes so that even egg-allergic friends and...

Biotechnology science fair project to investigate the bioluminescence of dinoflagellates.

There is evidence to be gathered at every crime scene. The hard part is making sense of it all. That's where crime scene investigators and forensic scientists come in. In this science fair project, you will investigate blood spatter...

Most native plants are not very well studied. One way we learn more about these plants is by studying the species of plants they are most closely related to. In this science project you will sequence part of the chloroplast genome from a...

In this science fair project, investigate the chemical kinetics of the famous iodine clock reaction. This classic experiment requires about a week to complete.

In this astronomy science fair project, investigate how the earth's axial tilt creates seasons. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on...

In this chemistry science fair project, students will investigate how pH levels affect the rate of a common form of corrosion, called rusting. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract,...

In this science fair project, determine if childproof containers are effective and investigate if a child can learn how to open the containers with practice. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an...

In this human behavior science fair project, the student will investigate whether packaging can persuade children to eat healthily. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and...

In this biotechnology science fair project, investigate how DNA damage affects growth of yeast that are DNA-repair deficient. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and...

Don't get lost in the woods. In this plant biology science fair project, students will investigate whether the location of moss growth on trees is a good way to determine cardinal direction. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up...

Experiment making biodiesel from different types of oil and determine which oils give the best result. This science fair project from Science Buddies, although in an abbreviated format compared to other Science Buddies experiments, gives...

Does talking on a cell phone make one a more dangerous driver? Here is an experiment you can do to investigate whether reaction time is adversely affected by a simultaneous phone conversation.

We've all heard that hurricanes draw their immense power from warm ocean waters. Of course, many factors contribute to the formation and growth of a hurricane, but can we expect to find that the warmer the water, the stronger the...

The past few years have histories of extremely powerful and dangerous storms. These storms have also increased in frequency. To investigate potential effects of climate on hurricane number and strength, this project will focus on the...

You can cruise and carve while you investigate which skateboard wheels produce the fastest (and slowest) rides on your terrain in these experiments. You pick the wheels and design the tests you think will produce the most extreme results...

Are all reds the same? Find out in this science fair project. Investigate if the pigments in one type of red flower are different from those in another type of red flower. Flowers contain an assortment of amazing chemicals that produce...

In this electronics science fair project, students will make a simple dimmer switch and investigate the relationship between the resistance in the circuit and the amount of light produced. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up...

Are you a "lawn shredder"? Do you like nothing better than carving a sweet path down a mountain on your souped-up skateboard? If so, then this mountain boarding sports science fair project is for you. You'll investigate tire pressures...

In this human behavior science fair project, the student will learn about Piaget's developmental stages and the Theory of Conservation. The student will investigate the age at which children understand the equality of numbers and mass....

In this science fair project, use a globe and a heat lamp to investigate how the angle of the Sun affects global warming. This project includes the objective, background questions, a list of all the materials you'll need, and the...

If you are interested in aerodynamics, wait for a windy day and go fly a kite. This Science Buddies project gives you many ideas to investigate as experiment with shape, size, and ways to fly the kite. The Science Buddies project ideas...
