Cool Science Fair Projects - The Power Of Growing Flowers

This is one of our cool science fair projects that show the strength of growing plants.

What you need for this science fair project:

• A sheet of clear plastic
• A healthy potted plant
• A box of paper clips
• 2 Small boxes just a bit higher than the plant

How to do this cool science fair project:

1. Take your healthy potted plant and place it on a windowsill that gets enough sun.
2. Now you place the two boxes on each side of the plant taking care not to shade the plant.
3. Lay the plastic across the boxes and let it hang down the two sides of the boxes.
4. Make two chains that are identical with the paper clips
5. Lay these chains over the clear plastic so that it hangs down the sides of the boxes.
6. Arrange them evenly and mark their positions on the boxes.
7. Now you care for the plant as normal.
8. Check and mark the positions of the chains from time to time

What has happened?

• Make note of what happens?
• Measure the markings as they move up the boxes.
• Why do the chains move up?

Explanation:

This experiment shows us how strong plants are. As the plant grows it pushes the plastic and thus the chains up. Now you can see how plants can be so incredibly strong and grow through blocks of cement and why weeds push through the sidewalk cracks to reach the light (Plants need light to stay alive and grow)

Today’s science fair project is a good science fair project for someone that is a little handy. We are going to make a maze in a shoe box to demonstrate how the plant searches and reaches for light.

What you will need for your good science fair project:

* First you need a shoe box
* You will need a pair of scissors
* Stiff card
* Some sticky tape
* Black paint
* A paint brush
* A pair of gardening gloves to protect your hands
* A runner bean
* A plant pot
* Some good compost
* Water

Now for the fun part: making your maze in your shoe box!

1. To start cut a hole in the one end of the shoe box.
2. Making a maze in your shoe box is very easy, start by cutting eight flaps out of the stiff cards. The flaps must fit securely into your shoe box in the width.
3. Now paint your shoe box and the eight flaps all over with black paint. Do you know why we are doing that? Think about the light reflecting…yes, the black paint is to stop the light entering through the hole from reflecting inside the shoe box!
4. Now you can make a maze by sticking the eight flaps of card inside the shoe box with sticky tape. Cut slots into your flaps at a different place in each flap to form a maze (if you are not sure how to do this, ask for the help of an adult who knows what a maze looks like.)
5. Plant a runner bean in a small plant pot with compost.
6. Water the soil each day to keep it moist but, do not make it too wet. Keep it in a warm place until the bean has a shoot. Remember to keep the soil moist, depending on the temperature; it may not be necessary to water the bean everyday.
7. When your plant has a shoot place it at the bottom of your maze.
8. Close the lid and place the maze in a sunny spot.
9. Remove the lid once a day to see if your plant needs water.
10. Now you can observe what is happening.
11. If you did it right, the plant will grow and find its way through your maze to steadily move towards the light.
12. Eventually your plant will poke through the hole at the top of your shoe box.
13. For display purposes it is a good idea to take a photo of your plant growing zig-zag through your maze and out the hole at the top.

This is one of our good science fair projects for those that like to make things and our prospective gardeners!

Easy Science For Kid - How fat is certain kinds of things:

This is an easy experiment to find out which foods contain a lot of fat and which ones does not contain a lot of fat. Of course this is not a complete science fair experiment, but only and indication of an idea. For complete science fair projects I recommend a good e-book such as 24 Hour Science Projects that has all the help you need to do a winning science fair project.

What you need for this easy science for kid:

• A sheet of paper
• A pencil
• Margarine
• Lemon
• Potato chips
• Peanut butter
• Honey
• Cream

How to do this easy science for kid:

1. Draw six small circles on your piece of paper
2. Write down the name of each of your food as mentioned above under one of the circles so that you have one circle marking for each of the food stuff you have. You can of course use more if you want to do a little more.
3. Now you have to rub a bit of each kind of food onto the circle marked with that kind of food’s name so you will know which food is on which circle.
4. Leave it for about fifteen minutes.
5. Now you have to examine the paper on both sides.
6. What has happened?
7. Why do you think it happened?

You will notice that some of the spots are dry. Some of the others will be greasy and the spot will be spreading. Do you know why this happened? Well, both water and fat make a spot on paper by filling in the spaces between the fibers of the paper. When the water in the spots made by foods with water evaporates, the spot becomes dry. The spots made by the fat however, do not dry as the fat globules can only be broken down by soap or some kind of solvent such as ether. For this reason the fat spot remains and spreads while the water spot disappears

This is a simple example of easy science for kid that can be done very easily and it is therefore very suitable for homeschooling.

This experiment is another of our easy elementary science projects that uses lemons or lemon juice. We are going to use lemon juice to react with the copper oxide and to remove it in that way. When a copper coin is exposed to the air it reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide that gives the coin a dull appearance.

What you need for this easy elementary science project:

• 4 Tablespoons of lemon juice
• 2 dull copper coins
• A glass
• Water
• A soft cloth
• A camera

What you have to do for this project:

1. Take a photo of your coins before you start, making sure they are both more or less the same in color (dull)
2. Pour the lemon juice into a glass
3. Drop the coin into the lemon juice
4. Leave the coin in the lemon juice for about 5 minutes
5. Remove the coin from the lemon juice, rinse it clean and dry it with a soft cloth
6. What has happened?
7. Take a photo of both coins next to each other to show the difference.
8. Explain what has happened.

Doing easy elementary science projects are a lot of fun. If you want to make very sure you are following the proper scientific method it may be a good idea to get a good science fair project e-book. I have found Science Fair Projects Made Easy to be a very good one; you may want to have a look at it.

One of the most well known examples Of Science Fair Projects is the bread mold science fair project. This experiment can be done in many different ways and here is one of them. As with all examples of science fair projects, the most important part is that you follow the correct scientific method and that you must understand what you are doing and why you get the results you get.

Your scientific method starts with stating the purpose of your experiment, in this case to determine the conditions where mold will grow on bread. Then you move on to your hypothesis, that is the formulation of what you think will happen and then you move on to your experiment etc. For more on scientific method I recommend an e-book such as Science Fair Projects Made Easy. In this e-book you will find all you need to do a winning science fair project. For more examples of science fair projects, you can also visit Easy Science Fair Projects.

Another thing you need to know before you do the bread mold experiment is what the mold actually is. Molds are microscopic plants that are everywhere and like all plants they need special conditions to grow properly. You are now going to find out what some of these conditions are.

CAUTION: do not touch the mold as you may be allergic to it.

What you need for this experiment:

• 4 Slices of white bread
• 4 Slices of brown bread
• 8 Small sealable plastic bags
• A little water
• A magnifying glass
• A pen
• A note book
• A Camera
• 8 Adhesive labels

How to do this experiment:

1. Place one slice each of the white and the brown bread in a plastic bag, seal the bags and mark both. Mark one #1a and the other#1b.
2. Now you place these two bags in the fridge.
3. Place one slice each of the white and brown bread in a bag, seal it, mark it #2a and #2b. These slices will be your control.
4. Sprinkle the remaining 4 slices of bread with water but do not soak it.
5. Now you take one slice brown and one slice white bread and rub it on the kitchen floor without tearing it, so work carefully.
6. Place these slices of bread in bags that you mark #3a and #3b.
7. Rub the other two slices of bread on another kitchen surface such as the table or a cupboard. Place them in a bag and mark them #4a and #4b.
8. Now you place all your bags, except for the ones in the fridge, in a closet.
9. Every day, take out all your samples, have a look at them with your magnifying glass, make notes of what you see and take photos for your display.
10. Keep this up for at least a week.
11. What happens?
12. What is different in every sample?
13. Can you explain it?
14. What are the conditions that produced the most mold?

Make very careful notes and take enough pictures for your display.

This is one of our examples of science fair projects that is very easy and are suitable for elementary school kids. We are going to use sand to represent the land and water the ocean. It is going to show us why temperatures close to the sea is more moderate. Winters close to the sea tends to be milder than inland. Humidity can also influence how hot it feels. In more humid conditions it feels hotter, even though the temperature is the same.

Now on to our measuring temperature experiment

What you need for this experiment:

• Sand
• A jug of water
• Two bowls
• A thermometer
• A note book
• A pen

How to do your science project:

1. Pour water into one of the bowls and sand into the other bowl. It is not necessary to measure the quantities exactly it must just be more or less the same quantity.
2. Now you have to place the two bowls in a cool place together.
3. Leave them there for a few hours.
4. Measure the temperature of both, make sure it is the same otherwise leave it for a while longer until they are the same temperature.
5. Make a note of the temperature.
6. Now you have to place both bowls in a sunny and hot place for about two hours until they are very hot.
7. Measure and record the temperatures of both bowls and make a note of it.
8. Put both bowls in a cool place indoors.
9. Now you have to measure the temperatures of the water and the sand every 15 minutes and write it down in your not book.
10. You should notice that the sand cools down much faster than the water.
11. You can also dip your hands in both and feel the difference. You can make a note of it as well but, of course your real evidence is not what you feel but the temperatures you recorded.
12. Why is it that there is a difference?
13. Where does the heat come from?

This is a very easy science fair projects and is also one of our examples of science fair projects that is very suitable for homeschooling. If you need more examples of science fair projects, you can visit Easy Science Fair Projects.

This science project is one of our examples of science fair projects where you actually proof two related characteristics of air. You will prove that air has weight and that, because of the weight, air pressure is strong enough to bend a can. We are going to use the principle that as air heats up; it has a greater volume and if it is in a container some of the air will escape from the container. Then by screwing a top on the container we are going to prevent the air from going back in when the container cools down.

CAUTION: This example science fair project must be done with adult supervision as heat is used.

What you will need for this experiment:

• Large container
• A can with a screw top (you get cans of olive oil that will be the ideal can)
• Water
• Stove
• Oven mitts
• Ice
• Dish cloth
• A scale
• Note book
• Pen
• Camera

How to do this science experiment:

1. For your display, it is a good idea to take a photo of the can in its original state.
2. Fill the large container with water and ice and put it to one side until you need it.
3. With a finely calibrated scale, weigh the can with the screw top on.
4. Make a note of this weight.
5. Remove the screw top.
6. Put the can on the burner on the stove.
7. Heat the can until it is very hot.
8. Using the oven mitts, remove the can from the stove and, working quickly, screw the top on the can and place it in the cold water.
9. Observe what happens, write it down and take a photo.
10. When the can has cooled down, wipe it dry and weigh it.
11. Make a note of the weight and take a photo.
12. What has happened?
13. Why do you think it happened, remember we said in the beginning that we are going to prove two things?

What happens is that the air pressure bends the can. Why can we say that? What did we do to remove air from the can so that the air pressure on the outside is more than in the inside?

The other thing that happens is that the can now weighs less. Why is that? Think of what we have done with the air in the can.
