In this chemistry science fair project, the student will investigate the process of enfleurage, a method of extracting scents, to make and test perfume. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an...

Some characteristics, like the shape of your hairline, whether your earlobes are attached or detached, and whether or not you have freckles are inherited from your parents. In this science project you will learn about Mendelian traits,...

In this science fair project, use a calorimeter with an attached heating element to measure how water responds to added thermal energy.

When we get hot, we sweat. The physiological role of sweat is to cool us down. When the water evaporates, it removes energy from our bodies. This sort of evaporative cooling can also be used to cool homes, using what are referred to as...

Sedimentary rock forms in layers that are deposited one after the other over long periods of time. Oftentimes, sedimentary rock contains fossils and other debris that are deposited within the layers. Use this experiment to investigate...

A project that requires you to play with a dog cannot be all that bad, right? This scientific experiment entails the respiratory functions of dogs. Learn the chemical and bodily processes going on within your canine companions...

In this lesson plan, students learn about EarthCaches and processes of the Earth. Using online resources, they find an EarthCache located near their school, visit it, and record the information required in its associated activity. They...

Can you build something that can sort data through multiple parallel channels? This site contains a challenge, tips, a lesson plan, and a place for students to document their engineering design process.

Media-rich detailed description of modern cloning technology and the two different processes used: artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer.

In this lesson, students will understand that in order to grow healthy plants, soil, water, light, and air must be provided. Students will use math skills such as measurement and science process skills such as observation, comparing, and...
