Brainstorming Ideas

Brainstorm ideas of interest:

  • What ideas, topics, or projects in science interest you?

  • What problems do you see around you that could be corrected, made better, etc.?

  • Write a list of ideas. They do not need to be in sentences, but write enough so you remember what you were thinking about!

  • You may spend a few days on this process.

  • Eventually, you will need to select an idea that can be tested using the Scientific Method. 

  • Science Fair projects must be about something worth studying.

  • Exploding Mentos in Coke is a fun experiment but it does not require a lot of time to study. 

  • Science fair projects are about finding the whys, the how comes, observing, testing trials, changing one variable and seeing the results. If you can do your ENTIRE project in a day, it may not be a true science fair project.

  • Elementary Science Fair Project Ideas

  • Discuss with your teacher before committing a lot of time

  • NO projects on MOLD, BACTERIA, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

  • The safety form has to be signed before you begin your project. 

  • Middle School Science Fair Project Ideas
