Can You Create a Strategic Connect 4 AI Opponent?

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

When you play Connect 4, what strategies do you use to increase your chances of winning? In this project, you will explore how artificial intelligence can make decisions in two-player games such as Connect 4. This project requires little to no coding skill. Instead, you will need patience and an open mind. Why not give it a try yourself? Read more

Can You Hear Sounds in Outer Space?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Have you ever wondered what sounds you can hear in space? The answer is simple: none! In outer space there is utter silence. There are no sounds of traffic jams or thunderstorms or crashing waves. No buzzing bees or babies crying. Just silence. In this experiment, you will discover why empty space is void of sound and prove it with the help of the microphone in your phone and a sensor app. Read more

Have you ever stopped to wonder why we have two eyes, but we only see one image? Usually you only see one image because your brain takes the information from your left eye and your right eye and combines them, without you even noticing! But sometimes your brain is too smart for its own good; it makes assumptions (or guesses) about the things we are seeing. When your brain makes guesses it can sometimes make mistakes, as it does in this experiment! Read more

Can You Walk the Talk? Exploring Distractions and the Timed Up and Go Test

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Test your multitasking skills with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test! In this challenge, you'll evaluate a person’s functional mobility when they're focused versus when they're distracted. Can your brain handle walking and talking at the same time? Let’s find out! Read more

Can Your Body Temperature Tell the Time of Day? Find Out with Human Circadian Cycles.

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Have you ever had to adjust to a new time zone and noticed that it takes a while before you start to feel normal again? By shifting your sleep and activity schedule, you have altered the pattern of your body's circadian rhythms. Human beings, like many other living things, have a number of internal processes that show a distinct circadian rhythm. The most obvious is our sleep cycle, with activity during the day, followed by sleep during the night. Circadian rhythms have also been demonstrated… Read more

Did you know that instances of miniature lightning can occur in your mouth when you bite on a hard candy? Would it not be fascinating if you could observe these light flashes? Life Savers® Wint O Green® mints might just be the tool we need to observe this science! Crush them, observe, and detect what makes the flashes visible. How many sparks can you see? Read more

Candy Snap

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Have you ever broken a candy bar in half to share with someone? Some might snap in half quite cleanly, but others might be gooey and flexible. If you stick a candy bar in the freezer, will this change how the materials break? Try this sweet project to find out! Read more

Have you ever poured sand out of a bucket, or poured cereal out of a box, and noticed it is a lot like pouring water? It is because sand and cereal are granular materials. This means they are made up of solid particles, but they can actually flow like liquids! Candies, like Skittles®, M&M's®, Nerds® candies and many others, are also granular materials. In this science activity, you will investigate how the size and shape of granular materials affect how they flow. And what… Read more

As Valentine’s Day approaches, we’re increasingly confronted with stylized images of the heart. Real hearts serve very important functions – a person’s heart beats to supply blood to their entire body, and the heart has to work harder when they exercise. Have you ever wondered how quickly your heart beats when you exercise, or how long it takes to recover back to its normal rate after you’re done exercising? In this science activity, you’ll get to do some… Read more
