For many students the hardest part of the science fair is coming up with a project to study.  Even if you don't pick any of these ideas, hopefully this will get you thinking creatively to develop your own question.

SAFETY FIRST: Many of these activities may require protective equipment such as gloves, goggles or respirators.  Be sure to seek adult approval before starting a project.

  • Does the color of food or drinks affect whether or not humans like them?
