Science Buddies: Which Materials Are the Best Conductors?

All animals have a genome, but do they all have genome projects? Find out which animals are currently having their genomes sequenced and how much we know already by performing some simple bioinformatics data digging.

Here is a basic project for investigating enzymes that prevent gelatin from solidifying. This way you can understand why it is some fruits are not recommended for inclusion when it comes to making gelatin.

One of America's favorite snacks is potato chips. Although potato chips are very tasty, some varieties are not very healthy for you. A typical 1-ounce (oz.) serving of a well-known national potato chip brand contains 150 calories, 90 of...

Even though many cities have recycling programs, a lot of trash still ends up in the dump. Find out which materials will break down and which materials won't. Will the results of this experiment change which products you often buy?

In this cooking and food science fair project, determine which common crops are found most often in processed foods. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction,...

In this cooking and food science fair project, the student will determine how light and air can oxidize fat in potato chips and cause the chips to go rancid. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an...

In this food science fair project, the student will determine if thermotherapy can inhibit strawberries from becoming moldy and decaying. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective,...

Here's a practical engineering challenge: you need to build an enclosure for your dogs, using material that they can't chew through. It's going to be a lot of work to build, so you want to do it right. What material should you choose for...

When you think of a machine, you probably think of computers or robots. Try this experiment to see how simple machines are used everyday around your house.

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....
