Easy Science Fair Projects

It is possible to do a good High School Science Fair Project On Air Pollution. There is an easy way to do one for little kids as well; using more or less the same method you can do a wind erosion science project. Wind erosion is another major problem in many parts of the world and it is good to see how bad it is in your vicinity.

For a good science fair project you have to make sure you use the correct scientific method. In a good ebook such as Super Science Fair projects you will be able to read all about it.

So, on to our little science e project:

This is what you will need:

• A few stirring paddles that you will get from a paint store
• Some broad double sided tape
• A felt marker
• A camera for your photos
• A note book and a pencil for your notes

This is what you have to do:

1. Stick the double sided tape onto the paddles (as many as you wish to use)
2. Now you stick the paddles into the ground in various places close to your home, ask an adult to go with you for safety’s sake, mark each one clearly and write it down in your note book.
3. Make sure the paddles face in different directions such as north, south, east, west, northwest and so on.
4. Now check on these paddles at regular intervals, say about twice a week.
5. Record what you see on the paddles and take photos.
6. Make sure you make a not of the location of each paddle

This project will show you how much wind erosion is in your vicinity by the amount of dust and dirt that are collected on the puddles. Write down exactly what happens and why you think there is a difference in the different paddles. What lies in the vicinity from where the wind came? Did that have any influence on the amount of dirt on the paddles? Does the wind blow mainly from one direction where you stay? Do you think that can have an influence on your project?

These are some of the questions you will be able to answer in this science project. To see exactly how you have to do it, go and have a look at Super Science Fair Projects.

There are many variations on the well know “flower changing color” science project. It is always a fun and very visual science fair project for kids to do. If you do not have a lot of time, this is a good one to try as it can be done in a relatively short time.

If you do not have any time left over at all, do go and have a look at 24 Hour Science Projects as you will get science fair projects there that you can do in 24 hours or less! Complete projects with all the details you need.

For a fun project that also uses osmosis as a part of the project have a look at Elementary Science Fair Projects: Sweet or Salty Flowers?

Now for our fun osmosis science fair project; the Green Highways project:

The purpose of the project is to show how plants carry nutrients and water to all the parts of the plant. Here is a fun way to show how it happens.

Here’s what you will need:

• 1 Fresh stalks of celery
• 2 Glasses of water
• Red food coloring
• A knife (let an adult help you with this)

This is what you have to do:

1. Put the two glasses of water next to each other
2. The one glass is going to be your control (do you know what a control is?)
3. Color the water in the one glass dark red by dropping four to five drops of red food coloring into it
4. Now you have to cut off the dried bottom part of  the stalk of celery
5. Cut the stalk in half from the bottom to the leaves.
6. place one half in the clear water and the other in the colored water and make sure they are standing securely and will not fall over.
7. Check on your project every hour to see what is happening
8. Make meticulous notes and take photos if it is possible, for your display

What happens?

• What do you see happening?
• Why is it happening?
• What is the process called?
• What does this prove?

Remember all science fair projects, as this osmosis science fair project, must start with a hypothesis, then you do the project using proper scientific method and then you reach a conclusion that either proves your hypothesis correct or wrong. Whether your osmosis science project hypothesis was wrong or correct is not important. What is important is that you followed proper scientific method and reached a proper conclusion.

In this example science fair project you are going to find out what are the ideal conditions for the growth of molds on bread and what can be done to prevent the growth of mold. Molds are fungi and with bacteria they grow on organic materials and causes (or helps with) decay. So, this is one of our alternative Simple Science Fair Projects a Bread Mold Science Fair Projects

This is one of our examples of science fair projects where adult supervision is needed as heat is going to be used and because of the potential danger of the mold growing.

What you need for your science project:

• 4 Slices of bread

• 3 Sealable plastic bags, big enough for your slices of bread to fit in it

• A Pair of rubber gloves

• Tags to mark your bags with

• Pen

• A knife

• Antiseptic cream

• A piece of kitchen towel

• A small plate

• A note book

• Camera

How to do your project:

1. We are going to use three different conditions: completely dry bread, normal bread as it is and bread spread with antiseptic cream. Our problem is to find out the conditions that speeds up decay, in this case the mold growing on the bread.

2. Formulate your hypothesis on what you think will happen

3. For your control place a piece of kitchen towel on a plate, place a slice of bread on the plate and place it in a cool dry place. (Why on a piece of paper towel?)

4. Take one of your slices of bread and completely dry it out in the oven at a very low heat.

5. Let it cool down completely. (Later on you should be able to give reason why it has to cool down completely)

6. Place the cold piece of “toast” in one of the plastic bags and mark it with a tag.

7. Place another slice of bread in one of the bags just as it is and mark the bag.

8. Spread your last slice of bread with antiseptic cream on both sides and place it in the last plastic bag and mark it.

9. Now you have to leave them in a warm (not hot) place.

10. Each day you have to make your observations, write it down and take a photo of your experiment. Do not forget your control.

11. Keep this up for a week.

12. You are now ready to write your conclusion, remember to give the reasons for what has happened to your slices of bread. Include your control in your conclusion. Your control shows what happens when you do not do anything, this id how you can draw the correct conclusion about what has happened to your other slices of bread.

* Do you know why the toast had to cool down completely before you placed it in the plastic bag?

* Is there only one reason for what happened to the toast or are there more than one?

* Why did you have to place your control on a piece of kitchen towel?
