Balloon-Powered Car Challenge
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Do you think you could build a car powered by nothing but air? A balloon-powered car is pushed forward by air escaping from a balloon, and it is fun and easy to build with materials you already have around your house. Can you imagine how you would want your own balloon-powered car to look? Can you design a car that will travel as far as possible? You can even measure your car's speed using your smartphone and a special sensor app. Get ready to grab some simple supplies to bring your idea to… Read more
Video: Global Problem Solvers: 2.2
Video
This episode takes the #GlobalProblemSolvers to Tampa, where they get a direct look at the conditions that led Ivy to call for help. With trees and floodwaters blocking the roads, schools damaged, power lines not fully restored, and disaster aid dedicated to higher priorities, Tampa’s schools could benefit from an innovative approach to getting students back to class.

How to Turn a Potato Into a Battery
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Imagine telling your friends about your latest science project: using a battery to make a light turn on. You might get some blank stares...sounds a little boring and basic, right? Now tell them you will do it with a potato! Yes, you can actually use fruits and vegetables as part of an electric power source! Batteries power many things around you, including cell phones, wireless video game controllers, and smoke detectors. In this science project, you will learn about the basics of battery… Read more
Build a Floating Maglev Train
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
How can you make a train without wheels? By using magnets! In this project you will build a magnetic levitation ("maglev" for short) train that floats above a magnetic track. How much weight can you add to the train before it sinks down and touches the track? Read more
Build a Simple Electric Motor!
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
When you think of a motor, you may immediately think of a car, but you actually encounter other motors in your home every day. That's right, if you put on clean clothes from the washing machine, ate food from the fridge, or used a fan, you used an electric motor. In this electronics science project, you will make a simple electric motor with two magnets that "talk" to each other. As they interact, they will alternate between "liking" each other (pulling together), and "disliking" each other… Read more
Make the Wind Work for You!
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Alternative energy sources are a big deal these days. One such source is the wind. Find out how a wind turbine can use the power of the wind to generate energy in this science fair engineering project. You'll design various blades to find out which produces the most energy, and put the wind to work for you! Read more
Make Popping Boba Balls Out of Your Drinks
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Forget drinking your juice. Instead, try snacking on it! Use the steps and recipes in this food science project to transform drinks into semi-solid balls that pop in your mouth. The technique is called spherification and it is part of a larger food science trend called molecular gastronomy— but we just call it yummy science! Read more
Tallest Paper Tower Challenge
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
In this engineering challenge, you will use limited materials to build a paper tower as tall as possible, but there's a twist! Your tower must also support a heavy weight at the top without collapsing. Looking for inspiration? You can see how other students have tackled this and other annual Science Buddies Engineering Challenges. Teachers, lesson plan versions of this challenge are also available. Read more
Video: Global Problem Solvers: 2.1
Video
A massive hurricane has hit the Gulf Coast of the United States. Internet video star Ivy Stormcatcher enlists the help of her friends, the #GlobalProblemSolvers, to devise a solution for students whose schools have shut down as a result.

Baking Soda and Vinegar Rockets
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Watching a spacecraft launch is an amazing experience. It is thrilling to see it lift off and escape Earth's gravity. Did you know that it takes a chemical reaction to get a spacecraft into space? Every time you see a one blast off, you are watching chemistry at work. In this chemistry science fair project, you will also get to blast an object into the air. You will not be using the same fuel that NASA uses for the rockets that launch their spacecrafts; instead, you will use two simple… Read more
