can you gave me a science fair project idea?

Answer 1

YES, do a project on... "Does more money spent per child in the government school system equal higher grades"? research the different areas on country where different amounts are spent per child and see results on SAT scores, etc.? It should prove to be a very eye opening experience.

Answer 2

Presentation has so much to do with it. Keep smiling, it's gonna be a long few days on that stand and those feet : )

Organise a rota for going out to lunch, ask for volunteers, treat all enquirers as tho' their company or industry is going to give you a grant. Remember that you never know when you are being filmed.

Choose something the world is deeply concerned about - or personally hates - or fears. MP3? Web theft? Focus on one area, one local experience, a single website, a single specific allergy, a single immunity. With good techniques to get points from the judges. You're not after a tabloid conclusion; you're figuring out what is affected, what actually happens, who else knows about it, and whether they are seeing what's really there. You shouldn't care about whoever has an opinion. You are exploring the issues, focusing on one, keeping a diary, recording & graphing every aspect specific to that one issue. It's like figuring out which font has the most symmetrical full-stop! Good headline, meticulous research methods!

Germs, theft, food, hygiene, light, - so what's bad? What's good? What's indifferent? Why & how does this grow? Why does it bug people/attract people, so much? Is this anything that time or science can cure? Forest fires ... good for the forest ecology, bad for real estate & insurance? Consider areas where science has entered awareness in a global or practical way. Were old wives' tales true & useful, and why, or why not? Maybe poll people or your fellow students prior to the day/s of the fair - what old wives' tales do they believe? Urban legends? Who believes them, why are they so popular?

Have a snappy question in large print, but show in the small print that you know there are no easy answers ... and that you would like to meet people or study reasons behind the first impressions of those around you.

Have a way of showing this to people of all ages, and have volunteers of all ages to man the stand. People are going to spend time at your stand if you involve them or their kids in some way, and if they have something to play with. (Observe credits & copyrights). Otherwise they'll check out your stand for freebies and walk away. Never leave a favorite pen or mascot unattended on the stand, by the way! A survey or quiz with a prize can work well, or some before/after video clips.

Think of your presentation as connecting with your project - visually, orally, musically, - or other senses. Put a positive spin on apparently negative things - Bad smells? Lucky for blind people or busy chefs; how else can they tell when food has gone bad?

Think about fairgrounds, carnivals, human nature, and appeal to as many upbeat instincts as are legal! And rise above it! Good luck at the fair! If your project doesn't get chosen this year, volunteer a day to help out another team this year, so you know what's involved, and who your audience is.

Answer 3

How about something on your five senses and how, when missing, we can become biased.

Ex. take a glass of plain milk. If you added garlic to it (I wouldn't exactly recommend it!) and took away your sense of smell, would you know the difference? Could you "taste" the garlic without smelling it first? By the same token, if you took that glass of milk, melted some white chocolate, and mixed it into the plain milk, and still kept a clothespin on your nose, could you tell the difference between the one with garlic and the one with chocolate? Can you TASTE a difference without your sense of smell?

Again, if you used food coloring and colored plain white milk purple, would you hesitate to drink it if you didn't know what was in it? If you blindfolded someone and gave them plain white milk, and then the purple milk, could they tell the difference?

It's very interesting experimenting with your senses. You could make a set a questions and survey 10 -20 people. It could be fun drawing your conclusions...

Answer 4

If its for a younger child Magnets are always fun. If its for an older person do a in-depth anaylis on the Earths natural properties.Now this branches off into so many sub topics but you could just Choose one like taking sand, dirt and minerals and comparing them in a scientific and creative way.

Answer 5

No look it up on the internet.
