If you are looking for an easy science fair project you really don’t have to look far. There are ideas all around us. Pick any topic that interests you and you can come up with a science fair project for it. Remember, your project doesn’t have to be complex to be good. You can pick an easy science fair project and as long as you understand the project, are able to explain it and present it nicely, you will get great marks. You may even get marks better than some of your peers who choose to do complicated projects that they don’t fully understand.

Easy science fair ideas are testing people’s sense of smell. This can be accomplished by gathering a few different scents and asking some volunteers if they can identify them. Another easy project would be to see if the surface on which a snail is travelling affects the speed that it moves, you could investigate whether cockroaches have a sense of direction, or if ants prefer plain water, sugar water or salt water.

You could also test and see if plants will grow towards light, or if they can grow without sunlight at all. If that doesn’t interest you, you could try making your own tornado. This is a surprisingly easy experiment; all you need is water, a jar, some dish detergent and food coloring. Mix the water, a teaspoon of dish detergent and some food coloring into a jar, shake it up for 20 seconds and then give it a spin. You will then have an instant tornado! There are endless possibilities so let your mind go wild and you are sure to come up with a great winning project!

Easy Science Projects For Kids – Science Made Simple and Fun

Easy science projects for kids can be found anywhere, even in your own house or backyard! There are many fun and easy projects kids can do, such as testing to see what flavor of water ants will prefer, like plain water, lemon water or sugar water. Other projects can focus on racing snails, or seeing if cockroaches have a sense of direction.

Another easy project involves learning how plants grow. All you need is paper cups, dirt, water and some seeds. Fill a few cups with soil and plant some seeds in each one. Place one in a sunny spot such as a windowsill, place another in a shady spot such as in your living room, perhaps on a shelf, and place one in a closet. Water them all regularly and let your child see which one grows best. A similar project is to show your child how plants absorb water. Simply get a few paper cups and fill them with water, add a different food coloring to each cup and place a white carnation in each one. The next day, let you child observe the flowers. By then, they should have changed color to match the food coloring you put in.

You could also show your child how sound is caused by vibration. To do this you need a few small drinking glasses, a spoon and some water. Fill each glass with a different amount of water and have your child tap each glass with the spoon and observe how each glass makes a different sound, depending on how much water is in the cup.
