My current science fair project just FAILED and I am fresh out of ideas. Does anyone have a clever project idea?

I'm going to make what may seem like a radical suggestion.
There's no real such thing as failed science. There are only experiments that didn't come out the way you predicted.
A failed result is often more interesting than one that succeeds, because it means one of your assumptions was wrong, and most real learning in science comes that way.
So given your situation, I'd present whatever results you got, however far you got, and focus on what happened that you didn't expect, and in trying to explain that. With my science fair judge hat on, I'd much rather see that than a rushed cookie-cutter last-second project. Real science is much messier than most projects and failed tests are just as important as those that neatly prove a hypothesis.
