So, you're trying to think of a science fair project and you've already taken the first step, which is deciding not to build a volcano or a mobile of the Solar System. Now what? Well, if you've got an older brother or sister you could take their old project out of the attic and try and pass it off as your own, but that doesn't seem like much fun, and the teachers would probably recognize it anyway. Oh yeah, and that's totally dishonest and misses the point of choosing your own project, which is to pick something that you are interested in – something that you are excited about learning.

If you don't pick a subject that you are passionate about, you'll simply be going through the motions, rather than creating a unique project that you can really call your own. Whatever project you choose, the key is to have fun doing it, and in the end, be able to demonstrate what you’ve learned, and be able to pass that learning on to others. One thing to keep in mind about science fair projects is that it is not the most outrageous projects that are the most effective, but rather the ones that pay close attention to detail and follow the scientific method most effectively.

This short list of ideas is meant not only to offer you a few great ideas of projects you can choose, but also to help inspire you to think of your own ideas.
