Doing a science project isn’t usually the hard part; it’s coming up with a unique and fun idea. Many students resort to the old ‘volcano’ project and that is always fun, but if you use your noodle and think about it, there is no end to the enjoyable and informative projects you can do. Here are a few ideas to get you rolling:

Compare methods/pans of gold panning

Sugar substitutes vs sugar….are they just as sweet?

What’s the fastest way to chill your soda?

Build your own radio receiver

Show how the seismic waves from an earthquake travel

Show how salty water has to be to make an egg float

Show how an electric guitar works

Build your own xylophone

Compare wood types to see which ones burn faster…or slower

Compare the strengths of sunscreens

Hopefully these ideas will come in handy to you or will bring to mind other projects and experiments!
