Kid’s Answer: You get pink underwear! Yes! The answer came from one of the kids I worked with when writing this book. While changing the color of underwear is not one of the science projects in this book, there is a project about color mixing. There’s plenty for you to choose from in this collection […]
Enriched Physics Project Ideas
The A+ in the title of this book lets you know that the content is enriched. The Experiments are easy and require materials you can purchase at a local store. If I’ve asked for something that may no longer be available, let me know and I will give you the next best substitute. Contact me […]
Earthquake Science Project Ideas
This book contains 20 simple and fun experiments that allow you to discover the answers to questions, such as: What is the San Andreas Fault? How can you make a seismograph? Where are earthquakes most likely to happen? Dozens of additional questions and suggestions are given so that you can develop your own science fair […]

DNA: Project Variables
Step 3: Variables (things that can change) Variable is the name given for any part of an experiment that changes. For example, the following question identifies what is happening as well several variables which are identified. Note: The Question is an example for identifying variables–but is in the form of writing a science fair project […]
DNA: Project Hypothesis
Step 5 Hypothesis Let’s assume that your science project question is: So, what do you think? Will using different kinds of fruit affect the amount of DNA extracted from the fruit cells? Your guess about the answer is called your hypothesis, and it should be more than just a wild guess. Instead, your hypothesis should […]
DNA: Project Questions
Step 4: Project Questions A science fair project question should identify two variables: the independent variable the dependent variable. Example Questions for the DNA Discovery Investigation 1. The dependent variables are in red type. This variable can usually be identified from the purpose of the research Discovery Investigation. For the DNA Discovery Investigation, the purpose […]

Enriched Chemistry Project Ideas
Janice VanCleave’s A+ Projects in Chemistry Are you having a hard time coming up with a good idea for the science fair? Do you want to earn extra credit in your chemistry class? Or do you just want to know how the world really works? Janice VanCleave’s A+ Projects in Chemistry can help you, and […]
Science Project Experimental Variables
Types of Variables: Guide to the Best Science Fair Projects Independent variables Dependent variables Controlled variables Facts: 1. A variable is part of an experiment that can change, such as amount of light, or plant growth. 2. In an experiment, an independent variable either changes on its own, or you purposely change it. For example, […]
