How about growing crystals? You can find kits for them at Wal-Mart and they really form some beautiful crystals. Your son can explain the process behind it and maybe even photograph stages of the growth. Or research on the net and print other types of photos to use for added presentation.

The best 6th grade science project I've ever read about involved testing diet Coke for the horrible poisons that the sweetener converts to when not stored at low temperature, such as the free diet drinks sent to Iraq War One.

I won first prize in 4th grade for a Science Fair Project. My project was, "Which Type of Soil Is Best for Growing a Plant?" I used several different types of soil and grew plants from several of the same kind of seeds planted in each pot. The judges thought that I was comical when I said that the best soil was the kind from my backyard....because my dod created the fertilizer for it. :) (I guess I was a funny kid, lol).

Pack raw eggs in various packing materials, such as peanuts and drop the eggs one at a time from your roof to see which packing material protects objects the best. It's a messy but super fun project.

bugs do seem like a good idea but that is more of a summer or spring project when you can actually find bugs.
here are some goods one I found:
does age affect taste?
how reliable are eyewitness reports?
does amount of sleep affect grades?
do different colors of light affect plant growth?
what is the best temperature to store popcorn packages in your microwave to get the smallest amount of unpopped kernals?
and of course...
how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
hope i could help!

Grow mold on different foods. Leave bread, cheese or whatever in the fridge for different amounts of time and show how fast or slow it grows. Ex. put a slice of bread in now and put another one in in 2 weeks and show the rate of growth. There are different types of spores in mold and is kind of interesting for kids to do.

Keep it simple. Consider freezing ice cubes. Show how cold and water freezes at different times.
Show why hot water freezes faster. Check out this site and see why.
