What are some good science projects for an eighth grader?

Question

I have to do a science project for a science fair. I like astronomy but I'm open to any suggestions.

Answer 1

If you have a camera and a tripod - take photos of the mooon and stars in time lapse and track them. Idenify common images and if you can hook up to a telescope with a camera perhaps you can shoot some land shots that you can mark off landmarks you know. If you like the subject stick with it. Photos really help explain a project and combining photography and astronomy will show a lot of talent. good luck

Answer 2

Try the websites below. They have tons of great ideas, ways to get started, and all the tools necessary to complete the project. Of course, the quality of the finished project is based upon the energy and dedication you give to the project. Best of luck at regionals.

Answer 3

A real easy one involves using corn protein, when it is put in cold water it just sits there,however when put in water over 160 degrees the corn molecules attach to each other ,this is called protein denataration. The protein will become gummy because of the change in the molecules.
