The Physics of Artificial Gravity
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
How can we make space stations with artificial gravity a reality? In this science project, you will explore the physics of creating artificial gravity with circular motion. Read more
Track the Journey of Harbor Porpoises
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wondered what life is like for different animals, and where it is that they roam? For example, how large is the area they live in, and why do they go to different locations? While we can set up cameras to watch animals that live on land, it can more challenging to see the lives of animals that live underwater, especially in the vast oceans. In this ocean science project, you will use satellite tracking data to learn about the activity patterns of harbor porpoises. How far do they… Read more
Using the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory Satellite (SOHO) to Determine the Rotation of the Sun
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Here's a cool project that shows you how to use images from an orbiting observatory to measure how fast the Sun rotates. Read more
Using the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory Satellite (SOHO) to Measure the Motion of a Coronal Mass Ejection
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
The sun sometimes releases huge bursts of electrified gases into space. These bursts are called coronal mass ejections (or CMEs). When CMEs are directed towards Earth they can generate auroras, the spectacular atmospheric displays also known as "northern lights" (photo by Chris VenHaus, 2001). In this project you'll use images from the SOHO satellite to measure how fast CMEs move. Read more
What Modern Microbes Could Survive on Early Earth?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wondered how life began on Earth? Or how life could get started on other planets? To help us better understand how life began, many scientists try to figure out what it would have been like to live on early Earth. In this science project, you will try to grow microscopic life that could have survived some of the harsh conditions of early Earth! Read more
What's The Best Way to Land a Model Rocket?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
What's the best way to land a model rocket? What makes the rocket hit the ground safely at a low speed? What prevents the rocket from drifting too far if it's windy? In this project, you will make your own rockets from paper towel tubes and drop them to test different recovery methods like parachutes and streamers. What method do you think will work the best?  Read more
