Hello everyone, I'm sure you all know of science fairs. Well, my little brother has one coming up and I would love to help him do it and try and win it. And I was wondering if any of you wonderful people out here have any good ideas from past experience or something.
Science Fair
- Thread starter Mhayden
- Start date
The classic Baking Soda and Vinegar!
Otherwise, it really depends on your brother's level in science and what materials you have available.
I would also go about looking for ideas in videos made by science people on YouTube. One of my favorites is Veritasium. Here is one interesting video by him: youtube.com/watch?v=CNQf9vZqv7k

What grade range?
What area do you/he think would be more fun? Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, psychology, computer science, physics, music etc?

Played some music (different genres) for some crickets and saw if it affected how many hops they did - did not find out they had ears until during my presentation when my tech asked me a question.
Crickets have ears on their legs.

model rockets, AM Radios, Earthquake stability are all good ones
1.) Rockets - any fuel, built from scratch, show how they work and why you chose the fuel you did.
2.) AM Radios - built from scratch, show how radio waves work
3.) Earthquake stability - something like a skateboard with nails/screws in the wheels to stop it from rolling on a desk with a building on it to show how modern buildings benefit from / prevent major damage from earthquakes.

You could set up a little hydrolysis demonstration to show how water can be broken apart into H2 and O2. All you would really need is a small tank of salt water, a 6V lantern type battery, and some copper wire. It's a pretty kid safe experient and there's lots of fun science involved.
