Science Fair Project Ideas

Some parents look forwards to projects and helping their children with them. Others might be busy from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives, and just want a quick fix. In any instance, these three science project ideas can really make for a fantastic way for your and your child to learn together, and get in some good bonding time. Remember, when you are interested in their school work, they will be too. The quickest way to turn your child off to school is for you to act as uninterested as they are.

Just a quick note: you won't find any volcanoes or battery circuits here, and I'll tell you why. These types of projects have nothing to do with the scientific method. They may not even be teaching your children this stuff yet, but they will be looking for creative projects with multiple variables! That is why a project about how a remoted controlled car works will not get a second look, but something you might think is ultra-basic will! That said, lets take a look at our first project.

Liquid Densities

Now to you, this setup might seem extremely basic. But to a second grader, this can be a really fun and interesting project. The basic premise is to take 3-5 household substances, and to drop pennis through a tall glass filled with it. Time how long it takes the pennies to drop, and record the results.

What you will need: One tall (preferably skinny) glass, three to five liquid substances - we recommend water, milk, pancake syrup, and well mixed egg whites, one penny, and a stopwatch. Paper will be needed to record your results.
