I am an eighth grader aspiring to gain credit for a Science Fair to happen on mid-April. I would like to soar upon my expectations and produce something spectacular that is also with my brain level... think grade 8-9ish. PLEASE help me and give me suggestions of ideas and how to create the project.
This is only my 2nd Science Fair. My first was two years ago, about the "Stroop Effect" and although I had fun doing that one, I would not like to do it again.

Heres a favorite. Drop a mintos (the candy) in a diet coke and see what happens. Then do a research paper on what chemicles cause the reaction. Most of the research can ve found on Discoverychannels home page. To make it more intresting try diffrent flavor mintos and make a chart of witch ones are most reactive.

How are fireflies able to glow?
Heather Shelton As a child I was fascinated by the soft glow of the summer fireflies. I used to chase after their tiny flashing bodies just to see if I could get close enough to one to figure out how they work. What is so engaging about them? Light is such a powerful force in our universe and the idea of an organism being able to create its own light is an incredibly exciting concept. How are t

What are the effects of PH on the lifespan of tadpoles?
I wanted to know more about the effect of pH on a tadpole's life span. pH is how acidic or basic a liquid is. Does the pH of water in which a tadpole is placed affect its life span? Will neutral water tadpoles live longer then acidic or basic ones? My hypothesis stated that, if one tadpole lives in neutral water and another lives in acidic water, the one in neutral will live longer. I feel th

Do changes in the environment such as temperature and light affect shrimp in their choice of habitats?
In this lab, you will examine the habitat preferences of the brine shrimp, Artemia. You will use controlled experimentation to determine the thermal, pH, and light environments selected by Artemia. Based on your experience with this lab, you will design an experiment that could be used to survey other variables and other organisms.

What is the water cycle?
Precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration are all terms that sound familiar, yet may not mean much to you. They are all part of the water cycle, a complex process that not only gives us water to drink, fish to eat, but also weather patterns that help grow our crops.

How to make a battery using the human body!
In a nutshell, a battery (a device that produces electricity by means of chemical action. A battery consists of one or more units called electric cells. Each cell has all the chemicals and parts needed to produce an electric current.) uses a chemical reaction to produce an electrical current (the movement or flow of electric charges). In this experiment, we will create an electric current using n

How to build a simple electric generator
This is an AC electric generator which is capable of lighting up a tiny incandescent light bulb. The generator is made up of a hollow-ended cardboard box with a nail through the center, many turns of copper wire wound around the box, and four larger magnets clamped around the nail. When the nail and magnets are spun fast by hand, the little light bulb lights up dimly.

Can water be split into oxygen and hydrogen?
If an electrical current is passed through water between electrodes (the positive and minus poles of a battery), the water is split into its two parts: oxygen and hydrogen. This process is called electrolysis and is used in industry in many ways, such as making metals like aluminum. If one of the electrodes is a metal, it will become covered or plated with any metal in the solution.

How do Increased CO2 Levels Affect Plant Growth?
The problem with increased CO2 is its affect on global warming. CO2 is not a pollutant but it does trap infrared heat from radiating back into space. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect. This global warming then affects global ecosystems by having effects on water vapor and other climate features. If CO2 levels continue to rise, the results to the planet are difficult to gauge. Som
