Science Fair Project Ideas from Science Buddies

The Science Fair Project Ideas section of Science Buddies is a filterable catalog of hundreds of project suggestions organized by grade, difficulty, time required, and subject area. Each entry includes an overview, background reading, materials list, and detailed procedure that has been vetted by scientists and educators. This structure helps students move from a vague idea like “something with robots” to a specific, doable investigation. Families and co op leaders use the project idea pages to brainstorm and then customize experiments, helping kids focus on learning the scientific process instead of getting stuck choosing a topic.
