Elementary Science Fair Projects...
|
Here are some easy elementary science fair projects to try. They demonstrate science principles using simple experiments you can do at home. Most of these projects some measuring but nothing too difficult. To perform some of the experiments you may need to purchase a few basic items as well.
The list of projects on this site will grow as I think of new ones to add. If you have some unique ideas for projects you would like to see here then please send them. I will gladly look over them and post any that are appropriate.
Three Easy Elementary Projects
I have put together an ebook of three easy projects that would be great for students in 4th grade or higher. These are easy projects to do and require no special materials. You probably have everything at your home to do all of these experiments.Each experiment can be completed in a few hours.

You will need Adobe pdf reader installed on your computer to view the ebook. Most likely you already have it, if not its a free download here...Adobe Reader.
Some Quick Tips on Doing Experiments
1) Have a journal to record all your information about your project. Also record all your measurements, times, and data from the experiments. 2) Some of the experiments need close measurements of liquids amounts and will require a
graduated cylinder. These come in different sizes but are usually tall and cylinder
shaped. They are mostly made of clear plastic with measure units marked on the sides.
3) Other measurements of liquids and solids can be done with kitchen utensils. Such
as a measuring cup and measuring spoons.
4) Time measurements can be made with a watch or clock.
5) A lab type glass thermometer is needed for experiments measuring temperatures.
6) A basic voltmeter to measure voltages is required on some electrical elementary
science fair projects here.
This is an example of elementary science fair projects that investigate seed germination.
Here is an interesting project about
birds.
It investigates how colored feeders will affect how much seed
the birds eat from them.
This project lets you find
out if soaking seeds in liquid plant food will speed up the early plant development.
Just a few items are needed to do this experiment.
How batteries produce electricity.
How to make a potato battery
How static electricity works
