Ninth Grade Science Projects (535 results)
Science Buddies' ninth grade science projects are the perfect way for ninth grade students to have fun exploring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our ninth grade projects are written and tested by scientists and are specifically created for use by students in the ninth grade. Students can choose to follow the science experiment as written or put their own spin on the project.
For a personalized list of science projects, ninth graders can use the Science Buddies Topic Selection Wizard. The wizard asks students to respond to a series of simple statements and then uses their answers to recommend age-appropriate projects that fit their interests.
