Answer 2

Something cool would be to show what happens when food is left out - usually mold forms.

One idea:

-leave some food out 2 weeks in advance of the science fair / presentation of the project. Select some food that molds easy. Pudding works. Cooked rice or spaghetti (ooh, that's real good!) does, too. Ask your folks what they'd recommend (and so they don't throw it away!).

-leave same food out 1 1/2 weeks in advance

-leave some food out 1 week in advance

-leave some food out 3 days in advance

-leave some food out 1 day in advance

Label the food items according to when you left them out. You end up demonstrating, very graphically, the effects of not properly taking care of food after it's been cooked.

The mold usually evokes an emotional reaction - "Yukkk!!" and that helps when it comes time for the project to be graded.

Answer 3

I did a science project one year about cookies.
I made several batches and on each batch I left out one of the ingredients to see what kind of role each ingredient played in the making of the cookies. I found that some contributed to the taste and some to the texture.
Good luck!

Answer 4

Use a lemon to power a small bulb...its possible and probably original as most people may talk about fatty foods and stuff, you could do yours on other uses for fruit

Answer 5

Why do onions make you cry? How does yeast make bread rise? What makes popcorn pop, whipped cream frothy, and angel food cake fluffy?

Answer 6

i have some experience =]
you could take food to the next level and see which dog food dogs prefer.
or you could see which soda produces the most 'fizz'
you could test how table salt affects the freezing of tap water.


the possibilities are endlesssssss...............

Answer 7

do the diet coke and mintoos demonstration. that show how certain foods shouldn't be used together because it causes chemical reaction which could be harmful to human body.

just go to Google and type diet cook and mintoos experiment

Answer 8

it depends on what kind of food experiments your trying to do. you can always do which bread molds faster... its easy but gross. or you could do which drink evaporates faster.

Good luck.

Answer 9

try doing something on vitamins, how they help you, what happens if you don't get enough, too much....etc. do so really flashy art work and it should be a winner.

Answer 10
