Test and Change the Air Quality of Your Environment

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Do you ever wonder if the air inside is cleaner or dirtier than the air you breathe outside? In this science experiment, you will test it using an air quality monitor. Have you ever wondered how lighting a candle in your room impacts your air quality? Did you cook and not turn on the fan? How did it affect your breathing, and how did it impact the air quality? In this project, you can see how these environmental factors can improve or worsen the air you breathe every day. Read more

Modeling the Human Cardiovascular System: The Factors That Affect Blood Flow Rate

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

People often call cardiovascular disease a "silent killer." This disease sneaks up and causes damage, but patients don't realize it—until serious symptoms start. That is why physicians recommend keeping your cardiovascular system healthy. A healthy cardiovascular system gives us the energy and the stamina to do all of the things that we want to accomplish, such as do our best in school and perform well in sports. But what makes a cardiovascular system unhealthy, and what are the… 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

Heart Rate Recovery Times

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Over an average lifetime, the human heart beats more than 2.5 billion times, supplying blood to the entire body. When a person exercises, the heart has to work harder than usual. 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 are done exercising? Is the heart rate recovery time faster for people who get regular exercise compared to people who do not? Try out this science project to find out! Read more

Design a Game to Help Alzheimer's Patients

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Alzheimer's disease and dementia affect millions of people around the globe. Can you design a "brain training" game that can help people keep their brains healthy as they age, and maybe one day help treat or even prevent diseases like Alzheimer's? Try this coding science project to find out! Read more

Breath of Life: Does Exercise Increase Vital Capacity?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

How much air do you think you breathe in when you take a deep breath? Can you increase your lung capacity by exercising regularly? Do athletes have greater lung capacity than non-athletes? This project shows you how you can find out. Read more

How Can Vaccines Be Used to Fight Outbreaks?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Stopping a viral outbreak like COVID-19 takes more than luck, it takes public health tools. Vaccines are considered to be one of the best public health tools, which is why there is often a rush to develop good vaccines for newly discovered viruses, particularly those that have the potential to infect lots of people. Recent examples include COVID-19, Zika virus, and Ebola. If enough people are vaccinated, an effective vaccine can help stop outbreaks or even eradicate (completely get rid of) a… Read more

The Power of Your Eyes: How Vision Affects Balance

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Staying balanced might feel simple, but there’s so much more involved than you would think! The way your body balances is actually the result of several body systems working together. Your muscles and joints provide feedback (proprioception) about where your body is in space, your inner ear senses movement and position, and your eyes give you important visual cues about your surroundings. Vision is especially important because it helps your brain judge where you are in relation to the… Read more

Measles: How to Defeat a Debilitating Virus

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses in the world, but there are differences in how the virus can spread within communities. Some communities may be able to prevent the disease from spreading, whereas others could experience a rapidly spreading, overwhelming outbreak. How does immunity and vaccination in a population of people affect how measles spreads? To answer this, this science project can be completed using the Measles: Defeating a Debilitating Virus Notebook with… Read more

Make an Adaptive Switch

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

How could you send a text message without using your thumbs? What about typing on a keyboard or using a video game controller without using your fingers? Due to a variety of medical conditions like cerebral palsy or paralysis from an accident, some people might be unable to easily use their hands and fingers to push small buttons or use joysticks. However, they might be able to use their entire hand to push a single larger button or use another part of their body like their foot or even their… Read more
