Science Fair Projects for Elementary School

The key to winning a science fair project is innovation. Get creative with your science project. Don’t get stuck in a rut and above all don’t copy any one else. Think of a science project for elementary school and the most common one that comes to mind is the baking soda volcano. While I have nothing against this science project, I must say that it has been done so many times over that as a judge it is very boring to see an entry like that.

So think of different concepts that you would like to explore. Remember there is a potential science project in just about everything around you. If you like plants and flowers you can make a project out of them. Collecting dried leaves of various types and pasting them in a copy would give you a herbarium.  Or if you prefer a more interactive project why not experiment on two plants of the same sort?

Take the seeds of one particular type of flower or vegetable. Then split them up into half. Use the first set in a regular pot with no special additives. This will become your control group. Then use the second set of seeds with a healthy mix of fertilizers. Now record all the details of growth of the seedlings in both pots. Quite likely the data that you collect will work itself into an impressive science project.
