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.
