Science Fair Projects: Ideas, Tips and Themes

Science fair projects are required work for most junior high and high school students, and can be a large part of their science grade for the year. That's why it's important to do a worthwhile project that is proven to be successful. Of course, you can always put your own spin on things; you don't have to copy someone else's project step-by-step. As a matter of fact, most kids can figure out their own angle on an idea, without copying someone else's complete project.

One of the best science fair project sites on the net is at www.scienceproject.com The ideas are separated according to elementary, intermediate or senior projects and then into categories such as fuels, air pressure, gears, lenses and other specifics. There are many ideas that are yours for the taking or become a member to have access to even more projects. Short term membership is very inexpensive and will grant you enough time to complete a more complicated project using their guidelines.

A site where you can find up to 500 free science projects is www.all-science-fair-projects.com The site is a little annoying since you have to click on first one link and then another and still another to view the entire project but there are some great ideas and explanations on everything from botany to zoology.

At www.ergonica.com you'll find science fair project ideas for junior high to high school kids with themes like energy, gardening, the human body, agriculture, and medical wonders. You can also find helpful books, links to other great sites and many other resources.

At Dr. Shawn's Idea Bank you'll find a list of ideas for science projects. The purpose is to get the child thinking about the possibilities of particular ideas rather than explaining every little step. And, you can join the site for free then have access to hundreds and hundreds of science project ideas. Find it here: www.scifair.org/ideas/index.shtml
