Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

LivingLoom looks at how plants can take an active role in making textiles instead of just being used as raw materials. By spinning microgreen seeds into biodegradable yarns, the textiles can actually sprout and grow over time. The project opens up new ways to think about sustainable, care-based design, and invites us to rethink how we connect with plant life through the things we make and use. Read more

Build a Voice-Controlled Lamp

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

"Alexa, turn on the lights!" Sometimes it is easy to take the technology around us for granted. But have you ever wondered how a smart speaker like an Amazon Echo® knows what you are saying and how it can control lights and appliances in your home? It can seem like magic if you buy a device that just works when you open the box. In this project, you will learn how it works. You will build your own smart home device to control an appliance with voice commands using an Arduino®. Get… Read more

Build an Arduino Walking Robot

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Plenty of animals, like dogs and horses, can walk and run on four legs, but what about robots? Sometimes legs are better than wheels—try out this project to design and build your own quadruped walking robot! Read more

Measuring the Speed of 'Light' with a Microwave Oven

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Did you know that you can measure the speed of light using a microwave oven, some egg white, and a ruler? Find out how with this cool kitchen science project thanks to Mr. Nick Hood, a science teacher in Fife, Scotland. Read more

Exploring DNA Damage: What Effect Do Ultraviolet Rays Have on Yeast Colony Growth?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Though the Sun provides heat and light, which are essential for life on Earth, ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight can cause damage to DNA. In this science fair project, you will experiment with a strain of yeast that is super-sensitive to UV light. This project will demonstrate the lethal effects of UV light when DNA damage is not repaired. Read more

Password Security: How Easily Can Your Password Be Hacked?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

We use passwords every day for our email and other computer accounts. How secure is the password that you use? How hard would it be for someone to guess your password? How hard is it to write a computer program to guess a password? You can see for yourself by writing a simple password guesser in the computer language Python. We will get you started with some ideas, a little sample code, and a few passwords for your computer program to try and guess. Read more

Creating a Kidney: How Stem Cells Might Be Used to Bioengineer a Vital Organ

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

The human kidney is the most commonly transplanted organ in the United States, numbering more than 17,000 transplants in 2010 alone! But kidney transplantation technology faces a lot of challenges, including a shortage of kidney donors and the need for recipients to take immunosuppressant drugs to keep their bodies from rejecting a transplanted kidney. In this science project, with the help of bioinformatics databases, you will explore how a kidney could be bioengineered using stem cells,… Read more

Can You Influence the Compromise Effect of Decision Making?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Have you ever given any thought to the question, "What size drink do you want?" This experiment explores the behavioral neuroscience behind decision-making. It will explore why we make certain choices and even how we rationalize our choices after we make them. Read more

Hacking the Air Gap: Stealing Data from a Computer that isn't Connected to the Internet

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

You might think that one sure-fire way to keep your computer safe from hackers is to disconnect it from the internet entirely. But did you know that even without internet, a computer can transmit data using light, sound, vibrations, or even heat? In this project, you will investigate how a spy or hacker can steal data from an "air-gapped" computer that has no internet connection. You can even use a smartphone equipped with a sensor app to demonstrate how the data can be picked up by a nearby… Read more

How Electricity Changes pH in Salt Solutions

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

You have probably heard the saying that "water and electricity don't mix." Well, in this chemistry science fair project you will mix them, to create two solutions, one basic and one acidic. The apparatus is very simple, but the chemistry is complex and offers many avenues for exploration. Read more
