Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Dance, especially K-pop dance, has become a significant part of pop culture. Even without dance classes, many people have been learning dance through copying choreography from dance videos and dance tutorials. K-pop routines are fun and expressive, but they can also be tricky. Moves are fast, precise, and often depend on small details, such as hand placement, angles, and timing. How do you know if you’re really matching the choreography? One way developers have gamified the dance learning… Read more

Make Your Own Piezoelectric Pickup for Acoustic Guitar

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

In this project you'll learn how to make a piezoelectric pickup for acoustic guitar using inexpensive components. You can then connect your acoustic guitar to an amplifier, and record your own music. If you are interested in electronics and like playing acoustic guitar, this could be the perfect project for you. Read more

Maybe you have grown vegetables or flowers, but have you ever grown the flowerpot? Yes, you read that right! In this activity, you will use mushroom roots to grow a biodegradable material that can be molded into a product of your liking, like a flowerpot! Growing a set of bowls, a lampshade, or a pot is easier than you might think. Once you try it out, you just might feel inspired to replace some of your plastic objects with ecological counterparts that you created from mushroom roots! Read more

Making Milk Curdle with Pineapple Enzymes

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Have you ever gone to pour yourself a cup of milk and all you get is milk clumps? What happened to the milk is called coagulation, which is the mechanism that occurs when proteins in the milk clump together. While you do not necessarily want this in your milk, without coagulation (or curdling), there would not be any cheese or yogurt, which is why it is a very important process in the food industry. But what makes milk curdle? In this science project you will use pineapple juice to curdle milk… Read more

Making Patterns with Rubik's Cube

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

This project challenges you to figure out how to make geometric patterns with Rubik's Cube. Leaving your cube in one of these positions makes it much more tempting to pick it up and 'fix' it. Can you figure out how to make a checkerboard, or a cube-within-a-cube? Can you make only the center piece a different color from the rest? Can you figure out how to solve the cube from these positions? Read more

Mars Terrain Exploration: A Hands-On Coding Investigation

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Have you ever wondered what the surface of Mars is really like close up? Are you wondering what the Mars rovers get to see and experience? Some parts of Mars look smooth and sandy, whereas others are covered in rocks and rough terrain. In this project, you’ll step into the role of a planetary scientist and use real Mars rover images and Python code to detect, measure, and compare rocks across different types of Martian terrain. Here you’ll explore how image processing can help… Read more

May the Best Plant Win! Experiment with Genetically Modified Seeds

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Farmers face a variety of challenges in their efforts to grow crops. One of the chief challenges is the presence of unwanted plants (weeds) that compete with the crop plants for water, nutrients, and light. If the weeds are not suppressed, they can reduce or completely eliminate the amount of food derived from the crop at harvest. In this biotechnology and plant science fair project, you will simulate the competition between crop plants and weeds, and determine whether the use of an herbicide,… Read more

Minerals

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Minerals are sometimes precious, like diamonds. But most minerals are very common, like sodium, which is found in salt. How are minerals found and identified? How are our mineral resources distributed? Visit the USGS Mineral Resource Program to find mineral resources in your state. How are satellite images used to identify potential mineral sources? You can also find out how minerals are identified using spectroscopy. How are potentially harmful minerals, like mercury, dealt with? Visit the… Read more

Minimizing Bacteria in the Thawing and Cooking of Meat

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

How does your family thaw and cook meat? Have you ever wondered if it is the safest way? In this practical science project, you can find out and shed light on safe practices in the kitchen by investigating how many viable bacteria are present in samples of meat that have been thawed or cooked using different methods.

Motorized Arduino Cable-Driven Spacecraft Motion Simulator

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

How do you practice docking a spacecraft with the International Space Station or landing on Mars? With a room-sized cable-driven spacecraft motion simulator! In this project, you will build your own miniature, motorized version of a full-sized motion simulator scientists are developing that can move model spacecraft around in a controlled manner.
