Tracking SARS-CoV-2 Spread from Wastewater
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wanted to know where hot spots of infection are or see how viruses spread? Are you interested in seeing how this changes over time? Check out our new science project that uses data visualization tools and tested wastewater data to track the virus that causes COVID-19 over time. Read more
Astronaut Stress Management Training for Space Flight
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Training for space flight isn't just a physically demanding job. You need to be prepared mentally and emotionally, too! In this science project, you will test how a breathing technique can improve your fight-or-flight response induced by the stressors of space flight. Read more
Measuring Your Threshold of Hearing for Sounds of Different Pitches
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
If you're like most people, you like listening to music. Have you ever wondered how your ears and your brain turn the sound waves out there in the world into the experience of music in your head? If you're interested in doing a project about how we hear, this is a good one for you. With this project, you'll do background research and make measurements to understand how the sensitivity of your own hearing varies with the pitch of the sound. Read more
Make an Automatic Pill Dispenser
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Remembering to take medicine at the right time can be hard, especially if you need to take multiple medications at different times of day. It might not be a big deal if you forget to take your daily multivitamin, but for some people, forgetting to take medication at the right time can be dangerous. What if you had a device that could not only set off an alarm at the right time, but also automatically dispense the right pills for you? In this project, you will build an automatic medicine… Read more
Improving Focus for People with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wondered how you could help yourself or your classmates focus or perform better in class? Many students do! Some kids diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder learn better in different ways, and easy changes while performing a task can make a huge difference to them. In this science project, you'll test if standing can significantly improve your performance and if this further improves performance for those who have neurodevelopmental disorders.  Read more
Does Color Affect Taste?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
You might have heard the saying "The eyes eat before the mouth." The appearance of food, especially its color, certainly affects how we perceive its taste. But can your eyes actually change the way you taste something? In this science project, you will find out by investigating how people perceive the taste of different colored apple juice. How do you think color affects taste? Read more
Do Antibiotics Change Your Gut Microbiome?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
There are thousands of bacteria in your gut that help you digest your food, recover important nutrients, and maintain your health. What happens to those bacteria when you take antibiotics? In this science project you will find out by accessing and analyzing a real data set of the gut microbiome (bacteria and other microbes) from healthy adults before and after they are given antibiotics. Read more
Simple Lie Detector Test
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever watched a great sports player and imitated his or her moves over and over again? Or have you ever felt really bad when someone got hurt or things just weren't going his or her way? If so, you might be surprised to learn that you have been practicing skills closely tied to lying! In this science fair project, you'll discover how your brain gets a workout when it moves from truth-telling to lying, and how you can detect the shift. That's no lie! Read more
Program a Sound Level Meter to Help Protect Your Hearing
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Have you ever said, "That hurt my ears!" when someone yelled loudly right next to you? Do you cover your ears when a fire truck drives by with the sirens blaring? It is good to protect your ears—even sounds that do not "hurt" can cause hearing damage if you are exposed to them for too long. In this project, you will program a device that alerts you when sounds have exceeded safe levels long enough to cause hearing damage. Read more
Make a Color Detector App to Help Colorblind People
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Do you know anyone who is colorblind, or are you colorblind yourself? What if you could carry a device in your pocket that could identify colors for you? Many people already carry around the device they need to do this - a smartphone! Since phones have built-in cameras, you can make an app that uses the camera to identify colors. In this project you will use a program called MIT App Inventor that makes it easy for anyone, even with no programming experience, to design your own mobile app.  Read more
