What are some good science fair projects for eight graders?

We Answered:

I can direct you to a site that has lots of ideas and they give grade levels so that you can look through and pick something that is appropriate. There are probably over 500 ideas. For example: The first topic is, Aerodynamics & Hydrodynamics Project Ideas and it lists 27 science fair projects for grade 6-8. There are also ideas for both the higher and lower grade levels.
When you click on the first topic 'Aerodynamics & Hydrodynamics ' at the top of the page there is a scale using little squares that shows grade levels and icons for 'show easier ideas' or 'show harder ideas'. There's lots for you to browse through.

What are some really good science fair projects?

You can do the effects of different shades of light on photosynthesis. For example have a couple plants set up, and expose some to full light (artificail) and some to different shades of light (can cover light with these shaders of different percentage) and maybe another in total darkness. Then compare. They all should grow, but they will look all totally different.

What Are Some Good Science Fair Projects That Aren't Too Common?

We Answered:

I did a really neat project in my science class. I built a hydro-electric generator that powered a lightbulb.

It may seem hard, but its actually quite easy and there are many blueprints online. As far as materials, you're looking at some strong magnets, some plastic spoons, some copper wire, one of those mini lightbulbs I'm sure your science teacher has, and a tap.

This project not only amazes because you are actually generating electricity yourself, and is extremely easy. Good luck!

What science fair projects could I do on cancer?

We Answered:

How about a topic that might educate other students... Explaining how sunburns and tanning booths can cause Melanoma. You get to learn and explain the biology of our skin. How the body protects against UV rays and how some cells become cancer cells.

Well you have a pretty open ended question out there, it would be helpful to know what grade level you are looking for.

My son is gong into 7th grade and he and I have been looking for good science fair project ideas. It turns out that there is simply oo much information available out there. We both spent several evenings looking for project ideas.

The other day I found a great teacher review on various science fair resources. It has helped us immensely.

Regarding photography, you actually could do quite a bit of different things. For instance you could go as basic as to build a pinhole camera, to as large as to research the differences in shutter speed and aperature settings and how they affect the image. You may even be able to set up a project which compares digital and analog camera images...

Good luck!
