Science Fair Projects for a 5th grader?

Question

Does anyone know of any really cool but easy science fair projects for a 5th grader. I want one that is unique. Thank you.

Answer 1

you could do something relevant that speaks to you, like the effects of drugs on a human body.

when I was in the 5th grade, I did a project on our modern calendar and I got a superior grade.

the subject itself is not as important as your use of scientific methods. you could do a project on light bulbs (I did that once) but if you have fun and teach the judges a thing or two, you'll get a great review.

word of advice: stay away from doing a report on arthritis. I did that in 4th grade and got a lousy review. diseases are hard because the experiment part is tricky.

Answer 2

solar system map using different sized styrofoam balls ********************* ********************* How Do Magnets Work? Magnets have always been exciting and, in the past, they have been associated with magic and witchcraft. Still, many believe that magnets have some healing power for pain and certain diseases. The fact that an invisible magnetic force is able to attract or repel certain metals is interesting enough for a science project. Design experiments to show how magnets work. Why some metals can be attracted by magnets and some others can not. See if magnetic force may affect non-metals as well? Demonstrate magical properties of magnets in your display and try to show as many magnet applications as possible. ******************* ******************* Magnets are amazing objects that attract certain other materials. Properties of magnets have been the subject of research for many scientists in the past and today. Magnets are used in many devices such as telephones, radios, televisions, computers and many more... Do this project and find the answers to the following questions: What are the properties of a magnet? What material are attracted by a magnet? What are the uses and benefits of magnets? Can you use magnets to identify other materials? Perform experiments to see how different materials interact with magnets. Use the results of your experiments to identify unknown materials including metals and minerals (stones). Can magnets be harmful to household items?

don't know how unique this might be but when i was in fifth grade i did a working light bulb and electricity thingy that my grandfather helped me with HOWEVER, I LOST TO THE GIRL THAT DID
"splitting an atom" with baking soda or some crap like that, so i'd say try the splitting an atom because it was a huge success for her.
