Twelfth Grade Science Projects (201 results)

Science Buddies' twelfth grade science projects are the perfect way for twelfth grade students to have fun exploring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our twelfth grade projects are written and tested by scientists and are specifically created for use by students in the twelfth 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, twelfth 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.

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
Make a Biohybrid Robot
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
When you think of robots, you might think of things made out of plastic or metal...but what about living materials? Living materials have one big advantage: they can heal and repair themselves if they get damaged. Since it might not always be easy to repair a damaged robot (for example, a robot on another planet), some scientists want to figure out how to include living, or biological, materials in them to create "biohybrid" robots. In this project, you will create your own simple biohybrid… Read more
Analyzing Impact Craters on Mercury
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wanted to analyze data from a NASA spacecraft? In this science project you will use data from NASA's MESSENGER mission to measure the diameter and calculate the depth of impact craters on Mercury. You will then analyze that data for relationships between a crater's depth and diameter. This is your chance to perform a science project as a NASA researcher would! Read more
Testing How Clothing Choices Impact the Behavior of Others Around Us
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Do people treat someone differently based on his or her appearance? Specifically, how are their behaviors affected by the clothes a person wears? For instance, if somebody wears a formal suit, do you think others behave differently when interacting with that person compared to if he or she were wearing casual clothes, like blue jeans? In this science project, you will get to try and find out! Read more
Making a Cell Phone Spectrophotometer
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
We encounter an amazing array of colors every day, from the greens of plants and the many colors of their flowers, to the pinkish blue of a sunset, to the artificial coloring in beverages. How do we perceive all of these colors? When light hits an object, some of that light is absorbed by the object, and the light that is not absorbed is what we see. In this science project, you will build a simple spectrophotometer from a cell phone and use it to investigate how visible light is absorbed by… Read more
The Tree of Life — I (basic)
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Imagine that a biologist arrived at your big family reunion and had no idea who were sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc., but tried to sort it out by how all of you look. Just based on how you look, would s/he be able to guess whether the kid standing next to you is your sister or your cousin? The biologist might be able to make some good guesses this way, but by using samples of your family's DNA, s/he could construct your whole family tree. In this project, you'll use a Web-based… 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
Satellite Collision Detection: A Hands-On Coding Experience
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Have you ever wondered what would happen if two satellites crashed into each other in space? While space may seem empty, Earth’s orbit is actually crowded with satellites and debris. In this project, you’ll step into the role of a space engineer, using real satellite data to model orbits, track their movement, and predict potential collisions. You’ll explore how gravity and speed affect a satellite’s movement and learn how scientists use simple math and code to prevent… Read more
Build an Ultrasonic Levitator
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
It's not magic; it's science! Build your own acoustic levitator to make objects float in midair using invisible sound waves. Read more
Use DNA Sequencing to Trace the Blue Whale's Evolutionary Tree
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
The first land animals took their tentative steps out of the ocean and onto solid ground around 365 million years ago. Over millions of years, these early ancestors developed into tetrapods, including amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals. Then, around 50 million years ago, the reverse process occurred: the mammalian ancestor of today's whales returned to the ocean. In this genomics science fair project, you will use mitochondrial protein sequencing to trace the evolution of… Read more
