Also read my review of Various Books About Science Fair Projects.

And a few of my articles may make good science fair projects:

Science:

• Magnets (Do this experiment)
• Hubble's Law (Probably need a bigger sample than I had)
• The Moon's Rotation (Just because few people understand it)
• Long Jump With Weights (Do this experiment)
• Absolute Zero (You can actually estimate absolute zero yourself)
• My Rockets (Buy an Estes rocket, and experiment with it. Try to figure out its altitude, at least)
• Galileo and the Leaning Tower of Pisa (Duplicate Galileo's experiment)
• Shower vs. Bath, an experiment (Perform this experiment)
• Phlogiston Theory (Show that phlogiston would have negative weight, if it existed)
• The Chaotic Drip
• Let's Predict an Eclipse (See if you can predict an eclipse)
• How Long Is a Year? (A fairly easy experiment)

Mathematics:

• (pi) (Estimate Pi (See addendum #8 or use a computer))
• Regular Solids
• Sieve Of Eratosthenes
• Golden Rectangle and Golden Ratio
• A Leaning Tower (in my Puzzle pages)
• Fractals:
  • Fractals and Self-Similarity
  • The Lorenz Attractor (with an animation)
  • The Koch Curve
  • The Sierpinski Gasket
  • The Mandelbrot Set (Intro)
    • A Tour of the Mandelbrot Set (12 graphic images)
    • My Mandelbrot Set Movie (2 min. to load with 14.4K modem)
  • Julia Sets
  • Chaos - Sensitivity To Initial Conditions
  • The Chaotic Drip (in my Physics pages)
  • Fractint the Fractal Program (5 pages of graphic images)

Computers:

• Life (in my Games pages)

P.S. I would like to hear how you did. Please email.
