Since she is in middle school, I searcehd and found a website that has fairly challenging projects for her year. There are over 500 different projects to choose from. Be sure to enter in her year in school when searching and from there you can browse until you and her find something intresting.

If you look on the internet you can find some really cool sites that gives some really good ideas. As for it not being to hard or too easy, that would depend on how well your daughter could perform the experiment. The library usually has some really good books on it. I went the other day and found some really good books. I listed some sites that helped a friend of mine pick a good project. Try doing a google search as "Science fair projects" you'll get some more good sites. Good Luck!

Science topic, "Science and Invention go hand in hand". Black and white men have invented things to better our way of life. These inventions cover, Medical, Mechanical and Electrical. What scintific knowage did these people have to invent these things? Who leads the world in invention Black man or White man? How were they able to do this, some didn't have an education to speak of? How is your life style better as a result of these inventions? These are just some ideas to look into. Hope this helps, this is the only thing I could think of at the moment.

One thing I always liked was showing the relative sizes and distances of the planets and the sun. If the earth is a softball, the moon is a golfball, and the sun is the size of the principal's office. The sun would be 50 feet away and Pluto would be 100 times as far away.
Good luck.

The old "Which fabrics retain heat best" one always bears good results, as well as "Which markers have the runniest ink"...I'm partial to the latter, it's really fun to watch the ink run upswards. And for one off the top of my head, you could do one trying to prove that being musically inclined helps marks in school by comparing data from high school music students' grades against non-music students' grades. (Particularly math and history grades)...I hope this helped a little bit. Good luck!

Try anything with magnets or how the outcome of an event can change with different factors involved. You can always look up ideas online, but I went ahead and addede some search ngines here for you. Good luck!

Get a good crystal growing kit and explain the differences between the crystals and the science behind how they form, etc. If you go to a toy store they ussually have a lot of science project kits that you could use to get started.

Hmm. When I did a science project a couple years back I did which paper towel absorbs more. it's really easy. Just get a couple of different brands, measure the same mass of it, then absorb as much water as you can. once you do that, weigh it. It might seem more scientific if you form a hypothesis on which one will absorb more. also put WHY it absorbed most whichever brand won.

My son had a neat idea for this project. He had a light bulb powered with a battery and two wires connected to it. The question for the experiment was "does this item conduct electricity?" Kids could take different items and test them with the wires to see if the item completed the circuit. Of course, if the light bulb lit up, success!!

tsunami...fish tank about 1/3 full, experiment dropping a collection of something in one of the thin ends and measure the wave size on the opposite end. I saw this on the discover channel, not sure what I would advise you drop in to displace the water...how about ballon(or ballons) filled with water....pretty easy, topical and has a little wow factor....I'll take my 10 points now.
