There are lots of theories, some scientific and some more out-there, about the Bermuda Triangle (note the spelling for your science project).
There is a lot of information on wikipedia, and you could google "Bermuda Triangle" and find all kinds of websites with information (some logical, some nonsense) to research.

If this is for a science project, then forget the "Bermuda Triangle". It's not science, it's a hoax.
There have been some ships lost in the Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda. This is an area of the ocean which frequently has strong storms. There is nothing unusual about ships getting lost in an area where there are strong storms.
Some joker wrote a bunch of garbage about how there are "mysterious" disapperances in this area. A lot of what he wrote was misleading, just plain wrong, or totally made up. He sold books, made a lot of money from fools who bought the books, and retired laughing at the fools who made him rich.

Well there are several hypothesies:
1) Aliens abduct every other 1000th person that goes into that reigon, thats a very grascious ratio, i'm sure somebody could figure out those statistics.....
2) There really is nothing there, and it's just a coincidental dissapearance (not very uncommon, not many craft have disappeared there.
3) Sea Monster (enough said =/)
4) Vast frozen quantities of Methane gas are rapidly liquifying, creating methane bubbles, that, in the right condition, can rise and break ships in two (literally, the Austrailians did a test with one of their old battleships, it looked like torpedoes hit it!) They can also destroy aircraft flying at low altitudes over the ocean (Flight 19 explanation).
5) Some government conspiracy....
As you can see, most of them seem unrealistic, but #2 and #4 seem quite realistic. Flight 19 seems very inclined to conspiracy theories, but it wasnt really as epic as they want you to think. I belive the story was, the flight leader was disoriented (maybe drucnk, but flight records include a report saying he felt bad that day), so he flew the crew around in circles, then ran out of fuel and crashed SE of Cape Canaveral.
Myself, I believe that 2 or 4 are true. None of the others show conclusive evidence (some not at all) of their basis. Hope this helps ^_^
Edit: I just remembered that there is also another very similar triangle in the Sea of Japan called the Devil's Triangle. I believe that they are very similar in the methane theory. Also, there other areas around the world, not all large, or triangular that 'attract' accidents.

The "farthest" we know you have chosen a non-starter for a science project. Bermuda triangle, ghosts, paranormal phenomena, little green men, it's all the same and none of it is science.
Go back to your teacher and tell him or her that you want to do a different science project and that you would like some help in picking one.
Good luck! And don't screw up so badly, again.

Bermuda is all a complete speculation and theories. The theories range from methane bubbles creating problems for ships and planes to worm holes or a black hole that lies on our planet. I personally cannot completely side with any of these theories completely because they all hold some water but all of them have flaws and there is not one that people universally buy. Methane bubbles to me is the most logical. A test was done with methane bubbles and show they could sink large ships and leave no trace of them and they can disrupt airplane engines.

I once played the bermuda triangle in a band, but they didnt get folk music, and and I tried to explain to Mr. Bob Marley that the was two sides to appreciating triangle playing, but he called me a square, so I moved to the tropizoids and got a round to joining a romboid dance partay..It's been pentastic so far..

There is nothing going on there. Stick to 'hard' science.

In this world there are believers and then there are the non believers. In this case the non believers will have you believe it is only swamp gas
