I'm in the process of deciding what to do my science fair. I want something that won't harm animals, but will involve them. HELP!

Getting rodents to run through a maze to find treats doesn't hurt them at all. Use 2 of them, just keep one in a cage, and run the other through a simple maze to get treats a couple times a day, then, for the Science Fair, put one in right after the other to demonstrate memory skills.

Dissecting owl pellets. This is the "fur ball" that an owl coughs up that contains the fur and bones of it's prey; usually rodents.
When purchased from a science equipment supplier (teachersource.com is a good source) the pellets have been sterilised and are safe to handle even with bare hands.
Not only does this demonstrate study of food chains, but also shows (with a few simple calculations) how well owls control the rodent population.

You could get some rabbits or mice and let them breed with each other. I'm sure they'll enjoy that!

Cut off a cockroachs head to see how long it will run around headless. Seriously, they don't feel pain.
