Science fair Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3mtn-kate]

Hey guys, my bio class has started talking about science fair and I have NO IDEA what to do. If anyone out there has done science fair before and has a really cool project or can help me with mine that would be fantastic!!!

My topic is astronomy and I would love to do an experiment on that, but I can't find a project that doesn't sound too easy. Like I was going to track the moons of different planets and compare their orbits, then I was thinking of looking at the phases of the moon and track that. But again it just sounds too easy.

Please help!!!!!

That actually sounds pretty hardcore. That's coming from a person who isn't all that into science, though...

Last year for advanced Chemistry class we had to do science fair projects, too. I couldn't think of anything so I just copied a project I did in 6th grade.
The basic jist of it was I was planting and growing corn... That's as basic as you can get and my teacher was fine with it. I also got 3rd place for a project I barely tried doing.
It's all in the presentation. Just be confident and throw some jokes in for the judges and you can pretty much do whatever you want and still get a good grade.

Last year in 8th grade, before I was homeschooled, I dissected a pig heart and compared it to a human heart and won the science fair. It was really easy but I made it sound advanced. It really is all about presentation. Also include great photos because that gives the judges some visuals.

But here are some websites for science projects, complete with instructions

In 7th grade, I did a research project on evolution for the science fair. include a lot of visuals, and be well researched, and prepared to answer questions, and you'll be fine!

That could be really cool, if you pick the right topic. Hmmm, I like the one you have thought about. What about something like comparing the north and southern hemispheres....with the moons, sunrise, sunset, ect. I dunno. Tell us what you end up doing!

I think thats a good idea. It should be easy to find info and websites comparing the two
