    hmm.. i was always the last minute kid, and since i switch schools a handful time in elemntary i lways did the same project. putting skewer sticks through balloons and not making them pop. ok. so i had little imagination, and my parents refused to give me ny of their time, but it kept the adults busy. lol.

    I am wondering what age this Science Fair is? Usually there are categories such as collections, demonstration, model and experiment. I've managed an elementary science fair for 10 years and the judges are most impressed with experiments.

    It is important to use a number of resources, such as
    books, magazines, websites, videotapes, as well as visiting a science museum or calling an expert in the field and interviewing them. Be sure to record all your sources.

    You should have the proper components: title, introduction, illustrations/diagrams, data collected and conclusions. On doing an experiment you need to state your hypothesis on what you think will happen, tell how you conducted your experiment, and list your conclusions.

    Choose a topic in a field that interests you.

    For instance, I might choose to investigate Black Smokers and how the tubeworms live under such extreme conditions. That might be hard to do an experiment on, however I could do an ocean dynamix experiment relating to that.

    You could try looking at the latest news in science and see what catches your fancy.
    Try

    I used custom built model rockets in tandom with rather boring physics equations. Of course you have to be established in that hobby in order to use that...

    Earlier on, you had asked all of us to write an essay for you. It turned out that you didn't infact want us to write an essay for you, but rather to demonstrate how pathetic we were (which BTW you never really accomplished.)

    So my question is this: Do you actually want an idea, or have ulterior motives?

    If it's ideas you want, you should probably think of your own. That's the spirit of science fair -- creativity, innovation and what have you. All from your own mind.

    Not an easy trick that'll earn you corporate bucks.(The companies are paying for you to learn something.)

    science fair projects involving explosives are the best.

    I decided not to do my project in 6th grade until the night before. Iw as going to make an electromagnet, but I screwed it up somehow. SO I just took the iron filings I had and sprinkles them on a candle. The other kids thought it was cool, but the red hot floating pieces of metal were not so popular with the teachers.

    Do you think it would be a good experiment to see how long YOU can go without food and water?

    How Gullible Are We?"

    Make a petision to demand strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide."

    And for plenty of good reasons, since:


    1. it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
    2. it is a major component in acid rain
    3. it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
    4. accidental inhalation can kill you
    5. it contributes to erosion
    6. it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
    7. it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

    you objective are to get a many signitures as possible

    p.s.
    this is absolutly stolen, but still funny

    Steal the "instant ice cream from liquid nitrogen" idea from a bunch of chem grads. It was on CNN, I'm SURE your teacher won't notice
