My daughter is having a science fair in March and I have no ideas for a project. I want something interesting and educational that kids would get. But I want her to get all the ooohh's and ahhh's too. I don't want to do anything too easy so she can get a good grade. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Take her to your local hospital lab and see if they will work with her. She can culture different things and see what grows the most bacteria. She can do things in your house or she can do things at her school. We have helped several kids, its fun. If your interested and want more info just email me...

When I was in 5th grade, I made a model of a rainforest habitat in a refridgerator box, and talked about the various animal and plant life, environmental issues, etc while kids looked around inside. I had a lot of fun with it, and so did all of the younger kids. Even my teachers thought it was pretty cool.

It is great that you care so much try the discovery channel, they have a section specific to giving ideas for school projects if you go over it with your daughter you may find something that is educational, and not too easy for your needs but fun and interesting to her as well.

in fifth grade i did "does color affect the speed of thinking?"
my teachers were impressed with the idea.
had 2 science fair project boards--one in a "cool" color: blue and the the other in a "warm" color: red. participants sat engulfed in the board while answering pretty basic questions. they were timed. the project is helpful in designing study space for kids--essentially-- what color is more conducive to effective studying?
hope this helps

Grow plants using different methods! (in door, outdoor with pot, outdoor in the ground)
include pictures of all 3 once you plant them and once you are done. tell which grow the best!
