There are basically five different types of science projects:
1. Investigative projects - This project requires an experiment that tests an hypothesis. The experiment must follow the scientific method. An example of an investigative project would be "How does salt affect the boiling point of water?"
2. Demonstration projects - In this type of project, you will actually show something 'work' in science', and lots of time your teacher wants you to present it in front of the class as an oral report. You might demonstrate, for example, how two otherwise similiar objects of different weight hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height.
3. Research project - You look up information on a topic, and write a paper on what you discover. You might, for example, write a report on lightning.
4. Models - For a model project, models are built to explain a scientific principle or structure. You could build a model of a rocket, the solar system, or a volcano.
5. Collections - You present a collection of objects to give an overview of a topic. An example would be a leaf collection or a display showing many different types of simple machines.
Find out what kind of project your teacher needs, and go from there.

First of all, check to make sure that by "animals" they mean vertibrates or all animals. This may increase your options. Even if animals are excluded, you have the fields of botany, physics, microbiology, and chemistry to play with.
Nobody should suggest a project to you. You should use your interests and talents to pick an area of this world that you would like to explore. Do you like to skate? Maybe a physics project is for you. Video games? Electronics. If you pick a project based on something you enjoy, you will do a better job and it will show.
The scientific method involves some basic steps: 1) Observation - what do you notice about the things you like to do that is cool or interesting?; 2) Hypothesis - Why do you think this happens?; 3) Testing - What can you do to see if your idea is right or not?
During this process, you will need to find out what other people already know about your question. Start with your class science book. Read up as much as you can about the basics. The internet is also a great resource.
Best of luck to you! And remember - have fun!

If it is your technology undertaking, then you certainly could do the undertaking. you're able to desire to choose on your hypothesis, set up your administration group, elect your equipment, burn the candles, and checklist the outcomes. It would not rather count variety if your consequences journey others, only checklist what occurs, evaluate it to the hypothesis. (And bear in concepts that only using fact an test comes out in yet otherwise than the hypothesis, it would not unavoidably recommend this is a failure. you only checklist what the outcomes have been.) you're able to desire to place in writing all of this up step via step as to what you probably did and what got here approximately. you're able to desire to tell notwithstanding if the outcomes help the hypothesis or not. And in my view i detect it valuable if the checklist is accompanied via a itemizing of added matters to be explored that this undertaking has dropped at your interest, on account that scientists could desire to be finding to be certain greater beneficial than one little element. they could desire to maintain open minds and be observant of issues happening around them. Their concepts could desire to additionally lead others directly to added study.
