Easy Elementary Science Projects - How The Nutrients In The Soil Wash Away!

This project is one of our easy elementary science projects that are suitable for the very small kids. It is also a very visual project and they can see clearly what is happening. For plants to grow there has to be nutrients in the soil. A problem that can happen is when it rains a lot and the nutrients in the soil wash away. In this project we are going to show how that happens. This is a good example of a science project, but for the correct scientific method and tips to help you with your display, a good science fair projects e-book is a good idea. Here are a few I can recommend:

This is what you need for this easy elementary science project:

• ½ Cup of dry soil
• ¼ Teaspoon of blue powdered tempera paint that you will get at crafts or arts stores
• A measuring spoon
• A measuring cup
• A wide-mouthed jar
• A funnel
• A coffee filter
• Cups or containers
• Water

This is what you have to do:

1. First you add the paint to the soil and mix it very well
2. Set the funnel in the mouth of a jar
3. Put the coffee filter in the funnel
4. Now you have to pour the soil mixture into the funnel
5. Pour ½ a cup of water into the funnel so that it runs into the jar through the coffee flilter
6. Pour this water into a cup or a container
7. Place the funnel over the jar again
8. Repeat the above with another ½ cup of water
9. Once again pour the water into a different container
10. Repeat this until the water runs clear

What happened? Have a look at the color of the water after each batch. Did the color change? Why do you think it happened? How many times did it take until the water was clear? Now you have to explain what you have just proven with this experiment.

Easy elementary science projects like these makes science exciting for the kids and is very good for homeschoolers.

In our previous good science fair project we had a look at chlorophyll and how plants use this chlorophyll, sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (a form of sugar.) What else, that is very important, is produced through photosynthesis? (In the process carbon dioxide is taken from the air, what is released back into the air?) Now we are going to do a good science fair project to demonstrate how plants actually reach for sunlight. We know by now that they cannot survive without light, which we proved in our previous science fair project. Now we are going to do a really fun science fair project. If you want to do a really good science fair project, it might be a good idea to combine these two science fair projects as it gives you a very clear and visual picture of plants growing and needing sunlight.

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!
