Cool Science Fair Projects - The Power Of Growing Flowers
This is one of our cool science fair projects that show the
strength of growing plants.
What you need for this science fair project:
A sheet of clear plastic
A healthy potted plant
A box of paper clips
2 Small boxes just a bit higher than the plant
How to do this cool science fair project:
Take your healthy potted plant and place it on a windowsill
that gets enough sun.
Now you place the two boxes on each side of the plant taking
care not to shade the plant.
Lay the plastic across the boxes and let it hang down the
two sides of the boxes.
Make two chains that are identical with the paper clips
Lay these chains over the clear plastic so that it hangs
down the sides of the boxes.
Arrange them evenly and mark their positions on the boxes.
Now you care for the plant as normal.
Check and mark the positions of the chains from time to time
What has happened?
Make note of what happens?
Measure the markings as they move up the boxes.
Why do the chains move up?
Explanation:
This experiment shows us how strong plants are. As the plant
grows it pushes the plastic and thus the chains up. Now you can see how plants
can be so incredibly strong and grow through blocks of cement and why weeds
push through the sidewalk cracks to reach the light (Plants need light to stay
alive and grow)

EASY ELEMENTARY SCIENCE PROJECTS: HOLDING A GLASS WITH A BALLOON!
Easy Elementary Science Projects: Holding a Glass With a Balloon!
In this easy elementary science project we are going to see that air presses in all directions. We are going to be able to hold a glass by a balloon inside the glass. This can even be a very good party trick. This is one of our easy elementary science projects that shows you how much fun science can be. Do get permission before you do this experiment just for in case something goes wrong and the glass breaks.
What you need for this experiment:
A glass
A balloon
How to do this project:
Hold the glass in one hand and with your other hand let the balloon dangle inside the glass.
Blow into the balloon. If you find this difficult it may be a good idea to get some help.
As the balloon inflates, the part of the balloon that is inside the balloon will swell out and touch the sides of the glass.
Continue blowing until the pressure of the air inside the balloon is so high against the sides of the glass that you can remove your hand holding the balloon and lift the glass by holding the end of the balloon.
This little easy elementary science project is not enough for a complete science fair project, but as we add other experiments that use air pressure you will gradually build up a complete science fair project.
If your science fair project is due soon, I recommend that you get yourself a good science fair e-book to help.24 Hour Science Projects is a very good choice. In this e-book you get complete science fair projects that can be completed in 24 hours or less, so you'll be able to complete your projects in time.

This is one of our easy elementary science fair projects
where it is best to a camera to record your findings as it is all visual. There
will be nothing for you to measure or evaluate only what you see visually.
The idea of this easy elementary science project is to see
if there are different amounts of air in different kinds of soil.
What you need for this easy elementary science project:
3 Small clear jars
Water
A camera
Samples of three different kinds of soil, e.g. clay, good
with lots of organic matter in it and very sandy soil
How to do this easy elementary science projects:
Half fill the jars with your soil samples
Fill the rest of the jars with water until almost to the top
Make your observations as air bubbles rises to the top of
the jars.
Take photos every few seconds to record your findings
Why are we looking at the bubbles rising in the water?
What does it prove?
In which kind of soil did the most bubbles rise to the top?
What does this prove?
Well, the more bubbles rising through the water, the more
air was trapped in the soil sample. Tightly packed soil has less air trapped in
it than soil with a lot of humus or other organic matter. Almost all kinds of
plants tend to grow better in this kind of soil.
I think this experiment is one of our easy elementary
science fair projects that are for the budding "gardeners" amongst
our young! Enjoy!

EASY ELEMENTARY SCIENCE PROJECTS - HOW THE NUTRIENTS IN THE SOIL WASH AWAY!
Easy Elementary Science Projects - How The Nutrients In The Soil Wash Away!
This project is one of our easy elementary science projects
that are suitable for the very small kids. It is also a very visual project and
they can see clearly what is happening. For plants to grow there has to be
nutrients in the soil. A problem that can happen is when it rains a lot and the
nutrients in the soil wash away. In this project we are going to show how that
happens. This is a good example of a science project, but for the correct scientific
method and tips to help you with your display, a good science fair projects
e-book is a good idea. Here are a few I can recommend:
This is what you need for this easy elementary science project:
½ Cup of dry soil
¼ Teaspoon of blue powdered tempera paint that you will get at crafts or arts stores
A measuring spoon
A measuring cup
A wide-mouthed jar
A funnel
A coffee filter
Cups or containers
Water
This is what you have to do:
First you add the paint to the soil and mix it very well
Set the funnel in the mouth of a jar
Put the coffee filter in the funnel
Now you have to pour the soil mixture into the funnel
Pour ½ a cup of water into the funnel so that it runs into the jar through the coffee flilter
Pour this water into a cup or a container
Place the funnel over the jar again
Repeat the above with another ½ cup of water
Once again pour the water into a different container
Repeat this until the water runs clear
What happened? Have a look at the color of the water after each batch. Did the color change? Why do you think it happened? How many times did it take until the water was clear? Now you have to explain what you have just proven with this experiment.
Easy elementary science projects like these makes science exciting for the kids and is very good for homeschoolers.

Growing Baby Lemons Science Fair Projects Kids Can Do:
What you need for this project:
The seeds of several lemons
A wide mouthed glass or jar
Paper towels
Water
Bits of paper towel or absorbent cotton
How you must do this project:
Soak the seeds in water overnight to soften them
Line the glass or jar with a piece of wetted paper towel
Now you fill the center of the glass or jar with bits of
pieces of paper towel or absorbent cotton.
Push the seeds between the bits of paper or cotton and the
outside of the jar, near the top of the jar.
Pour about 1 inch of water in the glass or jar and add more
as the water gets absorbed.
Now you have to place the glass or jar in a warm dark place
such as a closet.
Leave the seeds for a week or ten days, but make sure the
paper stays wet.
What happens? The seeds begin to sprout.
Why does it happen? Try and give a description of the seeds
that contains embryos.
Do these "embryos" need water to start growing?
Why did we use the paper towels and not just left them in
the water?
Explanation:
The seeds contain the "baby plants" that we call
the embryos. These will grow into new plant if the conditions are suitable.
They need water and warm air. That is why we used the blotter paper; it keeps
them wet without waterlogging them. For heat we placed them in a warm dark place.

Here is an example of one of our easy Cool Science projects
that shows how much fun science can be and how easy it is to do.
We are going to use fat stains on paper to find out which
light bulb or flashlight is the brightest.
What you need for this cool science project:
A piece of white paper
Cooking oil
A ruler
2 lamps with bulbs of different wattages
How to do this experiment:
Place a few drops of ordinary, clean cooking oil on a sheet
of white paper and let it soak in well.
Blot all the excess oil away so that all you have is an oil
spot on the paper.
Now you have to work in a dark room.
Set up your light bulbs in two unshaded lamps across a table
from each other so that the lamps are facing each other.
Now you have to hold your paper close to the bulb on the
left and move it gradually closer to the bulb on the right whilst keeping your
eye on the oil spot.
What happens? The spot disappears when the same amount of
light falls on both sides of the paper.
Why does it happen? How does that help you to find out which
bulb is brighter?
If you measure the distance from the spot to each bulb and
the distance is not equal it means that one of the bulbs are brighter than the
other. The bulb that is the furthest away from the paper is the brightest.
This is one of our cool science projects to show you how
easy and fun it can be. You can do this experiment with flashlights as well.
Ask the help of a friend to hold the one flashlight and another to hold the
second.

Here is another rocket easy elementary science project:
Easy Elementary Science Projects - Another Rocket Project
Here is another one of our Elementary Science Projects using
air pressure to launch a rocket. We are using another source to get our air
pressure. Do take a look at our Lemon Rocket Science Project.
In this easy elementary science project we will see that
compressed air has great strength.
What you will need for this experiment
2 Drinking straws
Modeling clay
Construction paper
An empty dishwashing liquid bottle
Scissors
Tape
CAUTION: Please use caution and never launch your
rocket at anyone. Adult supervision is advised!
How to do this experiment:
Takes a 3 inch square of construction paper and cut it
diagonally so that you have two triangles.
Now you fold each triangle double and tape it to the one end
of a straw so that it looks like the fins of a rocket.
Cut 4inches of the other end of the same straw
Now you make a small pointed nose with your modeling clay
and put it on the tip of your straw.
Take the dishwashing liquid bottle and cut a hole in the cap
large enough to push the second straw through.
Push the second straw through the hole and seal it with the modeling
clay to close any gaps.
Slip the rocket straw onto the second straw that is sticking
out of the bottle.
Now you have to point the nose of your rocket into the air
away from all obstacles.

EASY ELEMENTARY SCIENCE PROJECTS - USING AIR AS AN INVISIBLE SHIELD
Here is a fun easy elementary science project for you to do:
Easy Elementary Science Projects - Using Air As An Invisible
Shield
This project is one of our Easy Elementary Science Projects that is more for fun but, it can be used in conjunction
with other experiments about air to make a complete science fair project.
We all know that a newspaper cannot resist water and becomes
wet and soggy very quickly if it is exposed to water. Now we are going to do an
experiment where something seems to protect the newspaper from the water.
What you need for this easy elementary science project:
A deep bowl of water
A glass jar
A sheet of newspaper
How to do this experiment:
First you have to crumple the sheet of newspaper and fit it
into your glass jar tightly enough that it does not fall our when you hold the
bar upside down. The newspaper must not fill the jar more that a third.
Now, while holding your jar upside down, sink it deep into
your bowl of water.
Hold it there for about 2 minutes.
Pull the glass jar out of the water.
Remove the newspaper from the glass jar.
What has happened?
Why did it happen?
The newspaper is dry. The reason is that although the glass
jar looked empty, it was filled with air and because the air is lighter than
water it could not get out. This air therefore made an invisible shield around
the newspaper and that is why it did not get wet.

EASY ELEMENTARY SCIENCE PROJECTS: MAKING A COPPER PLATED NAIL
Easy Elementary Science Projects: Making A Copper Plated
Nail
For the basics of this easy elementary science projects you
may want to have a look at a projects we have on Science-Projects.KnackTrack,
one of our easy elementary science projects using lemon juice.
In this experiment we are going to use copper coins and
lemon juice to make a copper plated nail.
What you need for this easy elementary science project:
½ Cup of lemon juice
20 Dull copper coins
A small glass jar
A pinch of salt
A large clean nail
Scouring powder
This is what you have to do:
Place the copper coins in the glass jar and cover them with
lemon juice.
Add a pinch of salt to the lemon juice.
Now you have to let this stand for about 3 minutes.
Clean your nail with scouring powder and make sure it is
completely clean.
Drop your nail into the jar with the lemon juice and copper
coins.
Now the waiting starts. You have to wait for at least 20
minutes.
Fish out your nail and dry it.
What has happened?
Why has it happened?
Well, what has happened is that the nail now has a thin
layer of copper that cannot be rubbed of. The copper coins reacted with the
lemon juice to form copper citrate and this compound plate the nail. I think
your friends will be very impressed with your copper plated nail.
This is a fun and easy science project, but if you want to
make sure you are really doing a good science fair project it is a good idea to
get an e-book to help you. I have found Science Fair Projects Made Easy to be
such an e-book. Go and have a look.

This project is another of our easy elementary science
projects that uses lemons. This time we are going to make a rocket with lemon juice
and bicarbonate of soda. This project must be done under adult supervision to
prevent an injury or damage.
What you need for this easy elementary science project:
1 Teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
¼ Cup of lemon juice
An empty bottle such as a soda bottle
A cork that fits your bottle
2 paper towel strips of 1"x10"
1 square piece of paper towel
Water
Sticky tape
How to do your experiment:
Make sure that your cork fits your bottle; if need be trim
it or pad it with a piece of your square paper towel to ensure that it is a
proper fit.
Tape the two strips of towel to the cork. This will be your
rocket.
Mix the lemon juice with enough water to half fill your
bottle and pour it into your bottle.
Wrap the bicarbonate of soda in a square of paper toweling.
Now go outside where there is lots of space for your rocket
to travel safely without injuring you or causing any damage.
Drop the bicarbonate, which is wrapped in the paper towel,
into the bottle and insert the cork lightly.
Place the bottle on the ground, stand back and watch.
What happens?
Why does it happen?

This science projects is another one of our easy elementary
science projects where we grow mold. We have quite a few about bread molds and
this is another alternative for growing mold on a lemon. It may be a good idea
to combine a bread mold experiment and a lemon mold experiment and to compare
the molds; it can make a very interesting display.
CAUTION: Because you may be allergic to the mold, do not
touch it or breathe it in.
What you need for this easy elementary science fair project:
A clean empty container
Plastic cling wrap
A lemon
Some water
A magnifying glass
A note book
A pen
A camera
Lots of patience
How to do your experiment:
Make very sure that your container is completely clean.
Place your lemon in the container.
Add a few drops of water to your container.
Cover it tightly with your plastic cling wrap.
Store it in a dark place like a cupboard.
Every day take it out of the closet, inspect it, make notes
of what you see and take a photo for your display.
You will probably have to keep this up for a week or more
until you have a really good growth of mold on your lemon.
Now you have to explain what the mold is.
Do you get different kinds of mold?
As you can see, the experiment itself is very easy. What is
important though is that you do it the right way. You have to do your research
before you actually start. Then you have to formulate your purpose and you have
to formulate a hypothesis. Only then can you really start with your experiment.
It is a good idea to know exactly what is involved in the proper scientific
method. I really think that it is a good idea to get a good science projects
e-book to make very sure you do everything the correct way. Have a look at
Super Science Fair Projects e-book, in this e-book you will find all the help

In one of our previous examples of science fair projects we
have taken a look at the destructive power of water. Now in this easy science
fair project we are going to simulate the forming of a delta.
What you will need for this example of a science fair
project:
A large, long plastic container with a border of about 6
inches deep
Sand
A trowel
A large jug of water
A brick
A note book
A camera
How to do your experiment:
Fill the plastic container with sand until you have a layer
of sand that is about 3 inches thick.
Flatten the sand until it is smooth.
Now you place the one side of your container on a brick to
form a slope.
Take your water and pour it in a stream on to the sand in
the middle of the higher end of the container.
Continue pouring until the water gradually starts to wash
away a path trough the sand.
What happens to the sand that washes away in this way?
Why does it happen?
Make notes of your observations and take photos.
If you have done this correctly the sand that has been
washed away by the water gets deposited in the lower region of the container
and forms a delta. This is then a model of how a delta forms in nature.
This example of a science fair project covers the experiment
self. For a winning science fair project though, you have to follow the
scientific method.
The scientific method consists of:
Formulating the problem or purpose of the experiment
Formulating a hypothesis
Doing the experiment
Formulating the conclusion
To help you with this I can recommend a very good science
fair project e-book called 24 Hour Science Projects. In this e-book you will
find complete science fair projects from hypothesis to conclusion that can be
done in 24 hours or less. Some of these experiments can even be done in an
hour. The examples of science fair projects you find in 24 Hour Science Fair
Projects will solve all your science fair problems.

Easy Elementary Science Projects: Let's learn a little more
about colors - What Is Green?
Is Green simply Green? This is one of our easy elementary
Science Projects that are there for some fun learning, especially for
homeschoolers. Let's see what green is made up off.
For our fun kids crafts using this principle visit Fun Kids
Crafts.
What you need for this experiment:
1 Coffee filter cut into strips
A green felt tipped pen
An orange felt tipped pen
A jar with about 1" water
2 Clothes pegs
How to do this project:
Make a large green spot on one of the strips, about 2" from
the one end of the strip.
Do the same with orange.
Hang both strips in the jar, secured to the side by a
clothes peg, and make sure that your spot is above the water with the bottom of
the strip hanging in the water.
Let it stand for about half an hour.
Make your observations.
What has happened?
Why did it happen?
Did the same happen for both strips?
Well I'll tell you what happens to the green strip and then
you can do it and in the comments tell me what happens to the orange strip, OK?
The green spot is gone, above the original spot the paper
has turned blue and above that the strip has turned yellow. Do you have any
idea why first the blue and then the yellow?
As the water dissolves the ink, it moves up. Because the two
colors does not move at the same rate, they separate.
Let me know what has happened with the orange and do have a
look at the craft on Fun Kids Crafts.

EASY ELEMENTARY SCIENCE PROJECTS: YOUR DRAWING ON AN EGG
Another "eggy" one for you. Go through our site and have alook at all the experiments you can do with eggs. This one is a variation on the one we have for you on our page"Easy Projects"
We have many fun, easy elementary science projects involving
eggs. It is amazing how much you can learn from experiments with eggs. In this
experiment we are once again see how vinegar dissolves the shell but in a very
fun and visual way.
What you need for this experiment:
1 Glass jar, big enough for the egg to fit in
1 hard boiled egg
Wax crayons
Vinegar
How to do this craft:
With the wax crayons, draw a picture on the egg. Be careful
not to break the shell.
Place the egg in the jar and completely cover it with the
vinegar.
Now you leave it for several hours.
Carefully dump the vinegar and cover the egg with fresh
vinegar and let it stand for a few hours again.
Remove your egg from the jar and carefully wash the vinegar
and the wax from the egg. Remember the shell will be very fragile so work
carefully.
What has happened?
Do you know why it happened?
What should have happened is that the acid from the vinegar
combined with the calcium carbonate of the shell of the egg and it would have dissolved
most of the shell. Where the painting of the wax crayons were though, the wax protected
the shell from the vinegar and your drawing should still be clearly visible.
As you may have noticed we have been doing many different
experiments using eggs. If you combine these, with proper notes, a good display
etc. they can make a pretty good elementary science fair project. The problem
is that it will take time and time is not something we have most of the time.
If you do not want your home to be taken over by a science experiment for a
long time, I suggest you get a good science fair projects e-book such as 24
Hours Science Projects. This e-book has complete science fair projects that can
be done in 24 hours or less.

I think the results of this elementary science fair project is going to horrify you! We all have to do what we can to stop oil pollution.
Easy Elementary Science Projects: Eggs and Pollution
This is one of our easy elementary science projects to show
the effect of oil pollution on sea life. (On all aquatic life.) It is
horrifying to see what oil is capable of doing and this experiment will show
the kids that all the worrying about oil spills in the sea is not exaggerated and
that it in fact has devastating results. This easy elementary science project
is also very suitable for homeschoolers.
What you need for this experiment:
4 Hard boiled eggs
4 Sealable plastic bags
Water
Food coloring
Motor oil or other wise olive oil as a substitute
Felt marker
A watch or a timer
Some masking tape
What to do:
1. Take your 4 bags and mark them 1, 2, 3 and 4. 2. Now you fill each bag with ½ Cup of water and ½ Cup of your
oil. 3. Drop a few drops of food coloring into each bag, mix it well
with the oil. 4. Take your hard boiled eggs and place them in the bag. 5. Now you remove the eggs from the bag as follows: a. #1 after
fifteen minutes b. #2 after
half an hour c. #3 after an
hour d. #4 after two hours
6. Each time you have removed the egg from the bag, carefully
peel the shell off the egg. 7. Write Down your observations. 8. You will notice that
the longer the egg stayed in the oil, the more oil got inside the shell of the
egg. (The food coloring makes it easy for you to see that.) 9. Remember to make accurate notes of everything you do and it
is best if you also take photos of the results for your display.
Doing Elementary science fair projects need not be a
problem. There are tremendous e-books available that gives you all the ideas
and information you need. I find 24 Hours Science Projects very good as it
gives you complete experiments from hypothesis to conclusion that can be done
in 24 hours or less. This is important because it prevents your home from being
taken over by the project for months on end.

Easy Elementary Science Projects - Fun Experiments On Liquid
Density
In these short, easy elementary science projects we are going
to see some of the interesting things that happen because of the density of
liquids. Density has to do with how tightly packed and object is. Two objects
can weigh the same but one is smaller than the other, the smaller one is packed
more tightly and is therefore denser than the other object. These experiments
are meant to make learning fun and are also very suitable for homeschoolers.
The floating egg experiment
What you will need
for this easy elementary science project:
A container
Water
An egg
Salt
A spoon
This is what you have
to do for this easy experiment:
Fill the container with enough water to cover the egg
completely.
Carefully place the egg in the water.
What happens to the egg?
Make a note of what happens.
Start adding salt to the water and stirring it very carefully
so as not to break the egg.
Keep on adding salt until your egg starts to float.
You will need quite a lot of salt, about 4 tablespoons full
of salt per 1 ½ cup water to make the egg float.
Now you add water to your solution again until the egg start
sinking again.
Keeping density in mind, try and explain what just happened.
If you worked carefully and did the experiment the right way
your egg started rising because it became less dense than the water when you
added the salt. When you added extra water, the water once again became less
dense than the egg and the egg started sinking again.
This is one example of our easy elementary science projects.
Watch out for the other fun, easy elementary science projects to follow later.

ELEMENTARY SCIENCE FAIR PROJECTS: BLOWING UP BALLOONS WITH VINEGAR AND LEMON JUICE
Here is a fun science fair projects, blowing up a balloon!
Elementary Science Fair Projects: Blowing Up Balloons With
Vinegar And Lemon Juice
These two elementary science fair projects are similar and
they will show you how a chemical reaction can produce gas capable of inflating
a balloon!
A chemical reaction happens when molecules interact with
each other and they change to form new molecules. This is a chemical change as
opposed to a physical change. We will do some physical changes at a later
stage.
In this elementary science fair project we are going to
illustrate how an acid and an alkaline (a base) produces a chemical reaction
and releases carbon dioxide that rises up and inflates our balloons.
What you will need for this elementary science fair project:
2 Balloons
2 Empty, clean soda bottles
The juice of one lemon
¼ Cup of vinegar
4 Tablespoons of water
4 Teaspoons of baking soda
How to do your experiment:
In each of your soda bottles dissolve 2 teaspoons of baking
soda in 2 tablespoons of water.
In your one bottle, add the lemon juice and quickly fit the
balloon over the mouth of the soda bottle.
In your second bottle, add the vinegar to your water and do
the same with the balloon.
What happens?
Do you see the same in both bottles?
What can be said about the lemon juice and the vinegar, what
is the same in both?
This easy experiment shows us a chemical reaction between
two ordinary household items. Do you know of a way that this chemical reaction
is used in baking? The next time mom has a little extra time, ask her if you
can bake muffins and then you can observe how the chemical reaction of the
baking soda and sour milk, or whatever kind of acid the recipe calls for, makes
the muffins rise during the baking process. This is a very good example of a
scientific fact used in everyday living. This elementary science fair project
shows you the practical importance of science in our lives.
For a good science fair project you will have to make very
good notes from the beginning to the end. You have to start with your
hypothesis, that is what you think will happen, then you have to take notes all
the time so you can explain exactly what you did and you must end with your
conclusion where you have to say what really happened and whether your
hypothesis was right or wrong. It is also a very good idea to take photos of
everything as you go. Make sure to have a photo of the inflated balloons as
well as photos of your muffins before they go into the oven and when they come
out of the oven.
This elementary science fair project is an example of a
science fair project that can be done in 24 hours. For more complete science
fair projects that can be done in 24 hours or less you may want to have a look
at a little e-book called 24 Hours Science Projects. This e-book contains
complete science fair projects from hypothesis to conclusion that can be done
in 24 Hours or less.

In this elementary science fair project we are going to try
and find out what seeds need to grow. Can you think of a few things that are
essential for seed to start growing? Write down your answer and that is called
your hypothesis. When you have completed your elementary science fair project
you will know if you were right and the results will lead to your conclusion
that is the decision you make, on what is necessary, based on your results. For
more on scientific method you can have a look at 24 Hour Science Projects. In
24 Hour Science Projects you get complete science fair projects that can be
done in 24 hours or less.
Now on to our experiment
What you need:
6 Small sealable plastic bags
A pair of scissors
A Packet of radish seeds (you will need 36 seeds)
3 Paper towels
Water
Felt-tip marker
A bottle of nail polish
The how to:
1. Start by marking each of your plastic bags numbers 1
through 4.
2. Cut all your paper towels in two. One of the pieces you
will not need.
3. Now you have to moisten 5 of your pieces of paper towels.
4. Your fifth piece must be left dry.
5. Now you have to place the towels in the bags as follows:
a) In 4 bags place moist paper
towels
b) In one bag place a dry towel
c) In one bag you do not place a
towel but you put some water in the bag.
6. In each bag you now place 6 radish seeds
7. Now you do the following with each bog:
i) Place one bag with a moist towel
in a place without any light like a drawer.
ii) Place another bag with a moist
towel in, in a light place at room temperature.
Iii) Another bag with a moist towel
you keep in a place that has not light and is very cold, the freezer.
iv) Place one bag with a moist
towel in, in a place that has no light and at room temperature, but cover the
seeds with nail polish.
v) Place the bag with the dry towel
in the light at room temperature.
vi) Lastly you place the bag
without a towel in a light place at room temperature; these seeds are now
floating in the water you placed in this bag.
8. Now you have to record the date that you have started
with your elementary science fair projects.
9. Check all your bags twice a day and record what you see
happening.
Now this is what you will see happening:
1) You will see that the seeds in bags i & ii starts to
grow. (Germinate)
2) In bag vi you may see some difference in the seeds. Keep
checking it and write down exactly what you see.
3) In the other bags the seeds do not start growing. Can you
give a reason for this? Think about it and write down what you think, after
this we are going to look at the reasons.
Seeds need very specific conditions to be able to grow.
Seeds do not need light to germinate, as they mostly
germinate underground. Late on, however, they do need light to grow. You can do
an experiment with this by placing the one set that has started growing in a
light place and the other in a dark place, but this is not within the scope of
this science fair project.
Seeds also need oxygen to be able to grow, so that is why
the seeds covered with nail polish did not grow, they could not get any oxygen
or any water! The seeds also need to be moist in order to be able to germinate,
but the seeds in the bag with only water, were also not able to grow because
they were practically "drowning" in the water. They cannot get any
air and the amount of water probably will cause them to rot. Too much water is
also wrong.

Yet another fun Kindergarten egg science fair projects
This elementary science fair project is very easy and it is
suitable for Kindergarten. Some adult supervision is necessary for this
elementary science fair project to prevent a mess! It will also be necessary to
explain to the little ones what is happening. In future blogs we will be doing
a range of "egg" projects which in the end can make a complete
elementary science fair project. On the other hand if you do not have the time,
want to make sure you are using the correct scientific method, and want to know
how to best do your display, I can very strongly recommend 24 Hour Science
Projects.
In today's "eggy" project we are going to make an
egg float and then we are going to try and think for ourselves why it happened.
For this elementary science fair project you will need the
following:
2 Glasses half full of water
2 Eggs
Salt (the amount you will need may vary)
This is what you need to do for this elementary science fair
project:
Take your half full glass of water and carefully place the
egg in it.
Make a note of what happens.
Now you start adding the salt, stirring very gently so as
not to break the egg.
Keep on adding salt, stirring gently and write down your
observations.
What is happening?
Now you take your other glass of water and make it very
salty by adding 12 tablespoon or more of salt.
Stir in the salt.
Now you have to wait until the salty water has come to a complete
still stand and are not moving any more from your stirring.
Now you add another half a glass of fresh water very slowly
and gently to the salty water without stirring.
Gently lower your other egg into this glass.
What is happening?
Why do you think it is happening?
In the case of the first experiment it is easy to say what
is happening. The denser the water the more the uplift and that pushes the egg
up. What is the salt doing to the density of the water?
The second experiment is the really fun part of this
elementary science fair project. What did you see happen? If you did it
correctly, the fresh water will be drifting on top of the salty water. Now when
you dropped the egg into the water, it sank through the fresh water and floated
in the middle on the salty water. In other words you egg sinks through the
fresh water but floats on the salty water that has the higher density.
This is a short fun example of an elementary science fair
project for the little ones. If you want a really good e-book to help you with
doing a winning elementary science fair project, I recommend 24 Hour Science
Projects. In 24 Hour Science Projects, you get complete projects that can be
done in 24 hours or less. You get all the info you need from hypothesis to
conclusion and the e-book makes sure you do not omit anything.

ELEMENTARY SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT: GROWING SOME MORE CRYSTALS
Elementary Science Fair Projects: Growing a Crystal Garden
Let’s do another easy, elementary science fair project. In
this blog we have already had two experiments where we grew crystals. In this
easy elementary science fair project we are once again going to grow crystals
in another way. I you haven’t done the previous two you can get them on this
blog on January 10 and January 27. All you need to do is scroll down.
As we have seen many rocks are formed by crystallization.
Can you still remember how crystals are formed? Do have a look at the Growing
Crystals blogs to refresh your memory. I also want to remind you of 24 Hour
Science Projects where you’ll get all the information you need to do a winning
elementary science fair project. In 24 Hour Science Projects you’ll get
complete experiments that you can do in 24 hours, some in even as little as 1
hour! 24 Hours Science Projects has everything you need for a good science fair
project.
Now on to our elementary science fair project
This experiment needs to be done under adult supervision
because ammonium is used and it is poisonous!
This is what you’ll need for this elementary science fair
project:
A small brick
½ Cup water
A small bowl
A large container such as a measuring jug
½ Cup bluing (you’ll get it at the laundry section of your
grocery store)
½ Cup ammonia (also from your grocery store)
Salt
This is what you need to do:
Wet your brick in a little water.
Place your brick in your small bowl.
In your jug, mix together the ½ cup, ½ cup bluing and the ½
cup ammonia.
Use a measuring cup and pour a little of the mixture over
the brick.
After this you have to sprinkle your brick with salt.
Now you have to leave it for 24 hours.
After 24 hours some crystals will start forming on your
brick.
Now you can add a little more of your mixture to keep your
crystals growing.
It is of course possible to grow a multi colored “garden” by
using a solution colored with different colors by using different colors of
food coloring.
Now it is time to prepare your presentation. For
instructions on how to do it from hypothesis right through to your conclusion
with all the graphs, sheets etc. that you need, I strongly recommend 24 Hour
Science Fair Projects. Doing an excellent elementary science fair project is of
no use if you do not know how to do your presentation in the correct manner,
which is why I recommend 24 Hours Science Projects.

I think we are really getting int to osmosis now. I'm convinced that by now you will be able to understand this somewhat difficult experiment. I hope you have a lot of fun with it!
Elementary Science Fair Projects
Easy Science Fair Project: How much water can a disposable
diaper hold?
In this elementary science fair project we are going to
observe how scientific knowledge can be put to good use in our daily life. You
are probably too young to know but the old fashioned cotton diapers were really
not very effective. On the other hand they were probably more environmentally
friendly than disposable diapers. Well, that is a subject for a later
elementary science fair project; today we are going to have a look at the
reason why a disposable diaper is so effective. For more help and to make sure you do everything correct I strongly recommend 24 Hour Science Fair Projects. You'll get top science fair projects with 24 Hour Science Projects, try it!
The basis of the whole experiment resolves around osmosis.
During osmosis water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area
of lower water concentration. In the diapers a substance manufactured by
polymerization of a mixture of sodium acrylate and acrylic acid. This sounds
difficult but it is not really essential to understand for our experiment. What
is important for our purposes is that the gelling occurs because of the osmotic
pressure of water.
Now we want to establish how much water can be absorbed by a
disposable diaper. First we are going to use distilled water (it can be bought
at a pharmacy or as some call it a drug store, depending on where you stay.)
Secondly we are going to repeat it and use a 0.9% salt solution that is closer
to a baby’s urine to see if the concentration of the liquid makes any
difference. We are also going to observe whether different makes of diapers
have the same absorbency and try to explain it.
This is what you need for your elementary science fair
project:
1x1x1 foot cardboard box
2 Clothespins
A cereal bowl
A pair of scissors
A measuring cup that holds 2 cups
A few sets of 2 diapers of different absorbency
Distilled water
*Salt solution of 9% (see below how to make it)
This is what you have to do:
First you have to remove the top and the one side of your
cardboard box.
In order to be able to measure the water that finally cannot
be absorbed by the diaper, cut a hole of about the size of a quarter in the center
of the plastic covering on the outside of the diaper.
Take your cardboard box and drape the diaper, with the
plastic covering at the bottom, over the top of your cardboard box and secure
it with clothespins. (I know there are countries where people do not use
clothespins, in that case use your imagination and secure the diaper to the
cardboard box)
To catch the water when it starts dripping through the
diaper, place your cereal bowl directly under the hole you cut in the plastic
on the outside of the diaper.
Take your measuring cup and fill it with water.
Now you must pour the water over the inside of the diaper
covering the inside by pouring from the one side to the other and back etc.
Keep doing this until the water start dripping through the
hole in the outer plastic.
Carefully record the amount of water that the diaper
absorbed before it started leaking.
Repeat with another brand of diaper with a different absorbency
(as claimed by the manufacturer)
Make a careful note of any possible differences.
Now you have to repeat this again but, this time you have to
use your salt solution.
Once again record what you see happen.
Try and explain the reasons for the difference in each of
your experiments.
Elementary Science Fair projects are great fun and an easy
way to learn the correct way of doing a science experiment. To make sure that
you are using the correct scientific method and to see what the correct way is
of notarizing your results and well has advice on your display, I strongly
recommend and E-Book such as 24 Hour Science Projects.
Elementary Science Fair projects do not have to dump your
home into chaos for months on end. As you’ve seen by the example elementary
science fair projects, winning projects can be done in less than 24 hours if
you have the correct information. With 24 Hour Science Fair Projects you’ll see
how to do winning science fair projects with easy and using readily available
supplies.
Combine the above and stir until the salt has dissolved in
the water. Note that this is not a very accurate way of making the solution but
it is good enough for our purposes.

As promised last week here is another is another fun and
good science fair project on water pumps. This is a really fun science fair
project that gives you very visual results.
I have also very good new for all of you, Just Science
Projects are up and running. They have three very good deals for you. I
strongly recommend getting a good Science Fair Book to make very sure you do a
winning science fair project. How you do your project, how you document it and
how you do your display is very important. To make sure you get all this right,
it is best to have a good science fair e-book such as Just Science Projects to
help you and keep you on track.
Now on to our “Good Science Fair Project: Natural Water Pumps
2”
Science Fair Project About Osmosis
What you will need to do this Science Fair Project:
Two tall drinking glasses
Water
Food coloring
A White carnation
A pair of scissors
Some sticky tape
Here is what you need to do:
First of all you need to pour some water into both your
glasses.
Now you have to add some food coloring to one of your glasses
of water. You need to add enough to make sure that the water is colored very
strong, so add enough coloring!
Take your carnation and split the stem lengthwise for about
half of the carnation’s length.
Now you have to secure the stem at the end of your split
with your sticky tape to prevent the stem from splitting any further.
Now you have to place the glasses next to each other, as
close as possible.
Place the one half of the carnation’s stem into the glass
with the clear water and the other half in the colored water.
If your carnation will not stay upright, lean it against
something to keep it from falling over and lifting out of the water.
Leave your carnation in the water for a few hours.
Observe what happens very carefully.
What do you see happening?
Why is it happening?
This is where you have to give an explanation of osmosis and
why it happens.
For record purposes it is also a good idea to take photos
before, during and after you have completed your experiment.
Once again, I strongly recommend a good Science Fair
Projects e-book such as Just Science Projects to help you and to make very sure
you do everything in you experiment correctly.

I hope you'll enjoy this first article about osmosis:
An Easy Science Fair Project On Natural Water Pumps
(Osmosis)
For this science fair project we are still on the theme of
trees. In this one we are going to look at the way trees manage to take up
water, through its roots, to the highest branches. You can try sucking up water
or any other drink through a very long straw and you will find it very
difficult. Make your own long straw by joining together straws and try it.
Now our task with this easy science fair project is to
demonstrate the way trees manages to pump hundreds of pints of water a day.
This process is called osmosis. We are going to use two very easy experiments
to demonstrate the process of osmosis. The first one we are going to do in this
article and the next one in the following article.
The potato osmosis experiment
This is what you’ll need:
* One large potato
* A ruler
* A chopping board
* A peeler
* A knife
* A teaspoon
* Two shallow dishes
* Water
* Sugar
This is what you need to do for this science fair project:
(Please be careful with the peeler and knife, smaller children should let an
adult help.)
1. Carefully peel your potato on your chopping board.
2. Now you have to cut the potato in half.
3. Slice of the rounded part of both halves so that you have
a potato that can lie stable in your
dish.
4. With your teaspoon you now have to scoop out a hollow in
each potato half.
5. Now you have to place each potato half in a shallow dish.
6. Fill your shallow bowls with about ½ inch of water.
7. Now you also have to fill each hollow, in each potato,
half full with water.
8. To one hollow you now have to add about ½ a teaspoon
sugar.
9. Cover your potatoes and leave them for one day.
10. After a day you can make your observations.
11. What has happened?
12. Is the levels of water in both hollows still the same?
13. If not, what is the difference?
14. Why do you think it has happened?
15. Does the higher concentration of the sugary water have
anything to do with what has happened?
This experiment shows us how osmosis works. If we think about
our trees again; the water inside the roots has a higher concentration of sugar
as the water on the outside. Through the process of osmosis the tree draws
water from the soil, where the concentration is lower, to the inside of the
roots, where the concentration is higher, and that is how the tree pumps the
water from the soil to the leaves at the top.

Here is a really fun science activity for you. Little kids will be able to do it with a little help from an adult.
A Fun Science Activity Simulating The Phases Of The Moon
The moon circles around the earth and the journey takes
about a month. The moon does not have any light of its own and we only see the
moon because of light from the sun reflecting from it. As the moon circles the
earth the sunlight illuminates different parts of the moon. This is why the
moon seems to take on different shapes or “Phases” during the month. When it is
full moon the moon is completely lit up and it happens only once a month.
What we are going to do is simulate it and see why it
happens.
This is what you’ll need:
A football (soccer ball) or beach ball
Glue
Glue Brush
A glass
Silver paper or foil
A pair of scissors
Reusable adhesive
A torch
A friend to do this project with
This is what you need to do:
Do this project in a room that can be darkened.
Wash and dry the ball thoroughly.
Now you have to paint glue all over the ball.
Rest it on a small bowl to keep it still.
Now you have to cut silver paper or foil into large square
sheets.
Whilst trying to keep the paper as smooth as possible, wrap
up the ball in the paper.
This now represents your moon.
Place a small piece of reusable adhesive under the ball
(your moon.)
Place your moon on a table, with the adhesive keeping it in
place and preventing it from rolling of the table.
Now is where the friend comes into the picture.
Let your friend stand at the one end of the table and shine
the torch with a strong beam on your moon.
Now you have to go and stand at the opposite side of the
table.
With the main lights out, look at your moon.
Now you have to gradually move around the table whilst still
looking at your moon.
The moon is still being lit up on the one side by the torch.
You will see the different shapes it takes.
These shapes represent the different phases of the moon.
Can you name the phases?
Try to illustrate the phases for your project.
In this project your “moon” kept still and you moved around
it. This was only to let you see the effect. In real life, of course, the moon
circles around the earth whilst the earth circles around the sun. Try and
explain why that has the same effect on the appearance of the moon as your
circling your “moon,”
To do a really winning Science Fair Project you need to know
what the correct scientific method is. You also need to know how to do a good
science fair project and the steps you need to take. You also need to know how to
make your hypothesis and how to record your findings correctly. To make sure
you are on the correct path I recommend Super Science Fair Projects E-Book.

Have you ever wondered what the soil is made up of and how it happens. Today we are going to look at the role Earth Worms play in the process.
Easy Science Fair Project: Having a look at soil
Do you know what soil really is? Do you know how soil is
actually formed? Well today that is what we are going to look at.
Soil is formed by decaying vegetable matter, mineral grains
and pieces of rocks. We are going to have a look at the part that earthworms
play in the decomposition process.
Other forms of decay
that plays a role are:
Weathering, a process where rocks are broken down.
Chemical weathering where minerals are dissolved by water.
Physical weathering caused by burrowing animals.
Attrition is a physical weathering that happens when
wind-blown particles rub against each other.
For fun you can tray and think of ways to turn the above
into a science fair project. For help with science fair projects you can also
get yourself an e-book such as “Super Science Fair Projects” to make very sure
you are doing everything right.
Now for our project where we are going to examine what soil
is made up of.
This is what you will need:
1 Large plastic bottle
1 Small plastic bottle
Scissors
6 Earth worms (you may have to go digging for them! Ask an
adult to help you.)
Some rotting leaves
A piece of black paper
Sticky tape
This is what you have to do:
First you have to cut the top of, of the large bottle.
Now you have to place the small bottle inside the large one.
You have to make very sure that the gap between the two bottles is evenly
spaced right around the small bottle.
Now you have to fill the gap with layers of soil and sand up
to about 2inches from the top.
Press the soil down lightly.
The earth worms need to be handled very gently. Place them
on top of the soil.
Now you have to cover the earthworms with the rotting leaves.
Cover the bottle with the piece of black paper.
Remember that you have to keep the soil moist at all times.
If the soil dries out the earth worms will die.
Now you have to wait for a few days.
After a few days, remove the paper and see how the worms
have tunneled away from the light into the soil and how they have dragged the
leaves into their burrows.
Try and explain why you think this is important. How do the
worms tunneling into the soil help with enriching the soil?
For this project you need to read up on the theory that you
are trying to illustrate with your experiment. You should not have any problems
with finding the information. For more help with Science Fair Projects I
recommend and excellent e-book such as “Super Science Fair Projects.” This
e-book will take you from the very start up to your final display for the
science fair. I strongly recommend “Super Science Fair Projects”

This Science fair Project can be done as part of our previous experiment, the growing crystals form sugar and washing soda, Science Fair Project.
Here is your growing crystals from salt Science Fair Project.
Let’s Grow some More Crystals
In a previous experiment we grew crystals from sugar and from washing soda (sodium carbonate.) In this experiment we are going to grow them from salt (sodium chloride.) After you have completed this experiment you can compare the crystals you grew from the different substances, and record what you see. You’ll find that the crystals alone is not enough to reliably determine the kind of mineral, to identify a mineral you need more information, but the crystals gives us a good idea of how the minerals are formed.
We know already that crystals are formed when the atoms of a mineral are arranged in a specific, orderly structure. Certain minerals are made up of only one kind of atom and they are called native elements. Other minerals consist of more than one kind of atom held together by mutual attraction. Gold, which is a native element, only contains gold atoms. Salt, that we are going to grow our crystals from, has sodium and chlorine atoms that are held together by mutual attraction.
For growing your salt crystals you need:
2 Cups of hot tap water
A Spoon
2 Pencils
2 6-inch lengths of strings
4 Tablespoons of rock salt
Your note book
This is what you have to do:
Add 2 tablespoons of the salt to 1cup of the hot water and stir it until the salt has completely dissolved.
Tie one of your pieces of string around one of the pencils and rest the pencil on the cup of salty water with the string dangling in the salty water.
Repeat the steps above with the other cup of hot water.
Now you have to leave one of your salt solutions in a hot and sunny spot.
Keep the other solution in a cooler and shady spot.
Observe what happens to the solutions and the strings over a few days and make meticulous notes.
Accurately describe the changes in the solutions as well as the strings dangling in the solutions.
Why do you think the crystals start to form as the water evaporates and become more salty?
Do you think the rate of evaporations will have an effect on the size of the crystals?
Why do you think it is so?
Does it have anything to do with the rate of evaporation of the water being different?
Explanation:
As the water starts to evaporate the water becomes more salty. We then get what is called a saturated solution. If the water evaporates even more it cannot hold all the salt anymore and crystals start forming. If the water evaporates slowly (your solution in the cool place) large crystals forms because of the grouping of the atoms in a few large crystals. If the water evaporates fast it activates the grouping of atoms in several small centers of crystallization. Why do you think that happens?
Remember as with all science projects, keep meticulous notes and give an explanation why it happens. To make sure you are following the correct scientific method, it is a good idea to get a good e-book such as 101 Easy Science Projects to help you. This e-book is suitable for all grades and will make sure you follow all the correct scientific procedures for winning science fair projects.

Many thousands of years ago people built huge pyramids. The
oldest pyramids were probably built by the Egyptians and it was started almost
4,600 years ago. Only as little as 600 years ago there were pyramids built in Central
America. Building pyramids were a long and very difficult task and
it took thousands of people up to 50 years to complete one!
With this experiment we are going to find out why pyramids
are so strong, and that is of course the reason why they were built. You’ll see
that a cube or a rectangle is not as strong.
For investigating the
bases and heights here’s what you’ll need:
Non-hardening
modeling clay.
A
plastic modeling knife (Adult supervision is needed here).
A
ruler.
A
book.
What you have to do:
With the modeling clay build two cubes more or less 3-4cm.
the two blocks has to be exactly the same size and that is what you have to use
the ruler for, t
Measure them and make
sure they are exactly the same size.
Now you have to reshape one of the blocks into a
square-based pyramid. Remember to keep the base the exact same size, this is
crucial for what we want to illustrate here. Make sure that you now have a cube
and a pyramid with the exact same size base.
We now know that because they were originally the exact same
shape and size that they have the same volume (let an adult explain this if you
do not quite understand this.) Measure the pyramid with your ruler and you’ll
find that the pyramid is three times taller as the cube and it is very strong
and stable.
Now to demonstrate
the strength of a pyramid here’s what you’ll need:
20 Large plastic drinking straws.
Reusable adhesive.
Now this is what you
have to do:
To do this experiment you are going to have to make two
models, a cube and a square-based pyramid.
First you have to make your cube out of large drinking
straws and reusable adhesive. First make your base and then complete the cube
with more straws and make very sure your cube is even and that each face of the
cube is the same size. Ask and adult to help you if you have any problems with
the measurements.
To make your pyramid, you have to start with the base make
the pyramid with another 4 straws.
Now to test the
strength of your two structures:
Start with your cube. Gently push down over the center of
your cube with your hand. Now move your hand gently to one side whilst still
pushing down gently. You’ll feel the cube giving way and starting to collapse.
Now for the pyramid. Do exactly the same as above with your
pyramid. You’ll feel the pyramid is much stronger and it does not collapse.
To record your experiments and to make sure you use the
right scientific method it is a good idea to get some help and advice it might
be a good idea to get a science fair e-book to help you. I can very strongly recommend
101 Easy Science Projects.

Fun Science Project: Growing Crystals
The tiny particles of everything around are called atoms. Crystals again are formed by atoms arranged in a repeating pattern. Because of this the crystals have a fixed outer shape. We are going to grow crystals.
This project is suitable for elementary school students, but because we use heat, they have to do it under adult supervision.
Growing crystals from a sugar solution.
What you will need:
Water
A measuring Jug
A saucepan
Sugar
A tablespoon
A wooden spoon
A glass jar
What you have to do:
Heat up two cups of water until hot but not yet boiling.
Using the table spoon you now have to add sugar to the water until no more sugar will dissolve into the water.
Now you have to stir the solution very well and leave it to cool.
When the solution is cold you have to pour the solution into your glass jar and place it in a safe place where it will not be disturbed.
Take a look at your solution every day and make a note of what you see.
This project can take quite a long time as it can now take the solution to be left for days or even weeks before the crystals begin to grow.
Note the size of the crystals when it starts growing.
You will notice that the longer you leave the solution undisturbed, the larger your crystals will grow.
Try to think why this is happening.
Make notes of everything you see and look for the reasons why it is happening in the library or on the internet. A simple google search should give you all the answers you need.
Now we are going to grow crystals from washing soda:
What you need:
A jug
Hot water
Washing soda (sodium carbonate)
Spoon
Bowl
Straw
Cotton thread
Paper clip
Hand lens
What you have to do:
With the help of an adult pour one cup of hot water into a jug.
Add a spoonful of the washing soda.
Stir until it all dissolves into the water.
As with the sugar keep adding washing soda until no more will dissolve into the water.
Now you have what is called a saturated solution.
Now you have to pour this solution into a bowl taking care to leave all undissolved washing soda in the jug.
For a crystal to start growing, it needs somewhere to start growing.
Using your cotton, attach the paperclip to the straw.
Make sure the distance from the straw to the clip is about two thirds of the depth of the bowl with your solution.
Now you balance the straw on top of the bowl with the paperclip dangling in the solution.
With time, the evaporating water will form crystals on your paperclip.
After a few days when enough crystals have formed remove the clip and crystals from your solution.
Carefully rinse them under the cold tap.
With your hand lens have a look at them.
You will notice that all the crystals have the same shape.
Remember to record all your findings as well as all your steps in your project.
To make sure you are using the correct scientific method and keeping the correct records and logs, it may be a good idea to get a good science fair project e-book such as: 101 Science Projects. This E-book is suitable for all the grades from grade K- grade 12.
