Answer 1

I went to the national science fair last year and I have a patent in the works for my project, so I think I'm fairly qualified to help you (lol).

Yes, what your teachers have been telling you is true -- the science fair is just a really great learning experience that allows you to design your own experiment from start to finish and to determine your own results, rather than simply following step by step instructions (like in a class lab).

I'm reluctant to give you a project idea that you can do to get a good grade / accurate results because you will learn more if you determine one on your own, but I do have some tips for you. My project took me over a year to complete (and I'm still fine-tuning it . . . long process), but you noted that you have a much more limited amount of time to utilize. Make sure that you make the best use of your time. I've seen the results of procrastination many times, and it is not something that you want to do.

I would also recommend this website: http://www.all-science-fair-pr... Don't take one of their ideas right off of there, but modify it to fit your needs (word of caution: believe me, your teacher will know if you plagiarized -- don't do it!!!).

Make sure that your project is well developed and that you really put a lot of time and thought into developing your analysis (and all parts of the project, for that matter =D) and make sure that your project display board is well thought out and designed neatly (don't just put your report on the board -- use shortened versions and lots of pictures help too) and use a paper cutter (if you don't have one, go to a copy shop to use one for free) to lay it out well.

I'm sure you went over the scientific method in class (as well as how to assemble your project), but if you need more help, check out this website: http://www.ipl.org/div/projectguide/....... (very helpful!!).

Have fun and good luck! I hope this helps you!

Answer 2

You could do one testing friction using a slanted board plain and covered with different materials--plain, carpet, tin foil, etc. Use a stop watch to time how long it takes a little car to get down the ramp. You probably need a car bigger than the little matchbox cars, but don't use one too big, or it would be hard to time. You could also use more than one vehicle and factor in a weight reading.

-Show how dolphins talk. You can talk about the sound waves. There's a lot of information about it.
-Another one you can buy some carnations and put them in colored water (with food coloring of course) and show how the certain tubes bring the water up changing the color of the petals etc.
-Show how you can clean pennies with Lemon Juice compared to soap and water.
-Show how/why when you put pepper in a bowl of water and soap on the tip of your finger, let the tip of your finger (with the soap on it, hehe) touch the surface of the water and all the pepper spreads to the sides
-Make a potato lamp
-Show electric current with tin foil, a battery, and a flash light lightbulb.

I hope i helped a little bit!

Answer 4

put unflavored gelatin (agar) in several small dishes and breathe on them. Let the bacteria grow. Then swab each with a different mouthwash to see which kills more of the bacteria. Worked for me!
