Do Migratory Birds Like It Hot?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Why do birds migrate? Do all birds have the same reasons for migrating? Where do they go when they migrate? These are questions scientists have asked for centuries. The more species for which they gather data, the more specific the answers become. In this science project, you will choose a species to investigate, then access and evaluate real data collected by scientists to start answering those questions yourself! Read more
Do Milkweed Bugs Show a Color Preference for Egg-Laying Sites?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Milkweed bugs, as their name suggests, have a close relationship with the milkweed plant. The plant produces an irritating, milky sap, and toxic compounds, but somehow the milkweed bug is unaffected by them. Instead, it concentrates chemicals from the sap in its body, acquiring an unsavory taste that, along with its bright coloration, protects it from predators. Given this close relationship, will the milkweed bug exhibit a color preference for egg-laying sites? This project is designed to find… Read more
Does Temperature Affect the Rate of Butterfly Development?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
This is an interesting experiment if you are 1) curious about insect metamorphosis and 2) patient! You will need to set up different controlled environments for the chrysalides, and then check on them regularly as you wait for them to hatch. Read more
Drawing Circles Around Ants
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Do ants sometimes ruin your picnic? There are some chemical ant repellents you can spray to keep them away, but who wants to spray poison all over their food? In this science project you can investigate some less toxic solutions that may be around your home so that your next picnic will not become an ant buffet! Read more
Eggs and Hen's Diet: Can You Get Bigger Eggs for Peanuts?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
If you keep chickens (lucky you!), here's an interesting project you might want to try. Read more
Finding Phyla
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wondered how many different types of animals live around your home, like in your backyard or a local park? Animals come in all shapes and sizes, each a small part of the amazing diversity of life. These differences can also help us to classify animals into different groups. One way people classify animals is by their phylum. Do you know which phylum you belong to? In this science project, you will investigate the diversity of the animal life around your home and try to figure out… Read more
How Does a Chick Breathe Inside Its Shell?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wondered how a chick breathes inside its shell? Every animal needs oxygen to survive, so the chick must get air somehow! Try this science project to discover the answer. Read more
How Much Do Different Pet Species Eat Compared to Each Other?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Are you in charge of feeding your family pet? How much food do you think your pet eats compared to other kinds of pets? After adjusting for your pet's body weight, you might be surprised how it will compare to other kinds of pets. What type of pet do you think will eat the most for its body weight? Read more
How Much Worm Is a Worm?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Worms are slimy, wiggly, and gross. But did you know that they have many unique abilities? One of the neatest things that worms can do is regenerate, or re-grow, parts of their body. After a piece of a worm is cut off, it can grow back with all of the necessary new parts. How much of a worm can you cut off and still get regeneration? Is one end of the worm better at regenerating than the other? See if you can make heads or tails of this wiggly problem! Read more
