Do the Mentos & Diet Coke thing...look it up on the Internet if you don't know what I am talking about.

Good luck

Sure Ive done some myself....umm try and make it personal.. like me for instance I like horses so I expirimented with which horse shampoos actually benifit to stop the spread of west nile virus among horses. Its much more fun and interesting if you make your topic interesting and something that you enjoy. YOu could also make a catapoult and then test amount of acceleration is needed to make an object travel like 15 feet. What are your intrests then I will be able to help you decide on one. Hope this helps

A science project should involve comparison of different entities, which could be the same item at different times or two (or more) different items. The project should be long enough that it takes longer than a few minutes, but short enough to hold the interest of the experimenter or meet a time deadline.

The ideal subject for meeting these criteria is RADISH SEEDS! Initial results can be noted in two or three days, the experiment can be as simple or as complex as the researcher desires, and the final results can be shared with a class... or eaten!

Growing medium:
simple... outside in the soil
medium... inside, in pots (boxes, cartons) filled with garden soil
complex... containers filled with sand (no nutritive value) with added elements

Growing conditions:
simple... outside with a box covering some plants to control light
medium... inside with several covers to allow different amounts of light to hit different plants
complex... differences in light amount & type (sun or artificial), heat, humidity (wrapped in plastic to keep moisture)

Moisture:
simple... outside, water some more than others
medium... inside, water daily or every other day
complex... apply water to soil only, apply water to soil and leaves, mist leaves only with little water to soil

Nutrients:
simple... outside, add some fertilizer to some
medium... inside, add different items (fertilizer, (coffee grounds, etc) to soil
complex... add different elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc) alone or in different combinations and concentrations

In other words, these simple seeds can provide opportunities for scientific investigations for every age from preschoolers (who may simply plant and watch) to PhDs doing advanced research. This may eventually be extended to other plants and create a lifelong interest in botany.

I'd still be doing my own studies of these seeds, but radishes make me burp! LOL

My neice just had a science fair and won first place for their district. What she did was she took a plain white shirt. she then gathered fruit. like strawberry, blue berries, any fruit that would leave a mark on clothing. and she did nautral tye die. on one side of the shirt she rubbed the fruit on and the other side she put the names. She said people thought it was fun to try and guess what the fruit left the paticular shade.

Since you are in a time crunch...You could go to the UN website and get the info on the new global warming report that proves it is caused by cow farts and not people...

How much time do you have?

Compare the strength of paper towels... different brands... wet and dry. How many pennies will each one hold? How many strokes of scrubbing will each one take before it falls apart? How much will each one absorb?

You can devise a lot of different tests for these cheap, common items.
