Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Ninth Grade Science Projects (167 results)

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
These projects explore topics key to Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
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.

The 'Ultimate' Science Fair Project: Frisbee Aerodynamics
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Are you good at tossing a Frisbee®? It is great when you throw a perfect, arcing curve, right on target! If you can do that, you have already trained your arm on the aerodynamics of Frisbee flight. Why not treat your brain to some Frisbee science with this project? Read more
Studying Bernoulli's Principle
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Did you know that you can actually make objects come together by blowing air between them? Find out how wind changes air pressure to bring to objects together in this easy and fun science fair project! Read more
Riding on Air—Build a Real Hovercraft
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Looking for an exciting new mode of transportation? In this science fair project, you will build a working hovercraft that will glide over surfaces on a cushion of air. And it's simpler to build than you might think! Read more
Crime Scene Chemistry—The Cool Blue Light of Luminol
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
You may have seen police investigators on TV spraying a crime scene with a liquid that glows blue if there is any blood present. Luminol is the chemical which causes the glowing. In this chemistry science fair project, you will investigate what factors make this interesting molecule "light up." Read more
The True Cost of a Bike Rack: Aerodynamics and Fuel Economy
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Race car drivers need every advantage they can get to give them the competitive edge in a race. In addition to human factors, like driving skill and reaction time, their cars must overcome physical forces, like air resistance, to maintain their high speeds. While this science project will not have you driving around a race track at 200 miles per hour, you will get to test how increased air resistance affects a real car's fuel economy. You will do this by measuring and comparing the gas mileage… Read more
How to Make a Battery with Metal, Air, and Saltwater
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wondered how your cell phone or laptop keeps running once you unplug it? Sure, it is the battery that makes your portable electronics work, but how exactly does a battery do that, and from where does the electricity come? Generally, in a battery chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. In fact, many different types of batteries exist that are all based on a different set of chemical reactions. In this science project, you will explore a special battery variant called… Read more
Efficient Propeller Design
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
How does a helicopter generate enough lift to fly? How does a speedboat get moving fast enough to pull someone on water skis? Here's a project on designing propellers to do the job. Read more
Build a Miniature Self-Driving Car
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
How do self-driving cars stay on the road? How do vehicles with autonomous or driver-assist features automatically brake, steer around obstacles, or perform tasks like adaptive cruise control? Experiment with these behaviors and more in this science project as you build and program your own autonomous Arduino robot. Read more
A Simulator for Suborbital Spacecraft
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wished you could fly to space? Space flight is getting more accessible thanks to reusable rockets that make getting to space much cheaper. Civilian astronauts can even buy tickets for a few minutes in space! But exactly how high is "space"? How do engineers predict how high a rocket will go and figure out how to make it land safely? Find out in this project as you explore the physics of suborbital space flight.  Read more
Identify Road Signs with Machine Learning
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Driverless cars use machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence, to identify road signs and other things they encounter on the road, like pedestrians and other vehicles. In this project you will take your own pictures of different types of road signs and use machine learning to identify the signs using a free online tool (no programming is required). You will then attempt to improve your machine learning model so it can identify signs in a variety of environments. Read more
