Science+Fair+Project+Ideas

Here are some science fair ideas from our fifth grade students. This is going to be a great science fair!

What brand of glue is the runnest? 3 brands of glue How far the glue traveled I think elmers glue will be the runnest. 3 brands of glue cardboard ruler timer or stopwatch Yes, they agree || Ellie seiter Will plants grow better with more water or less? If you think so, you're good to start your project. the amount of water the plants get. The height of the plants. I think the plants with the most water will grow the highest. 6 of the same plant or flower seeds, 4 ounces of water an 3 small pots. Yes, they agree || what brand of cookies and cream ice cream will melt the fastes. When the ice cream melts it will be a puddle. **Sounds like a yummy experiment! :) Ms.Potts** The diffrent brands of cookies and cream ice cream.   how long it takes the ice cream to melt.   I think the rosenburg ice cream will melt the fastest.
 * Cassey
 * The question I will be asking is **
 * Very clever experiment Cassey! Remember the tips I gave you in class and the details we discussed. Hope things don't get too sticky :) Ms.Potts **
 * My independent variable will be **
 * My dependent variable will be **
 * My hypothesis is **
 * The materials I will need are **
 * I have asked a parent if I can do this experiment at home. **
 * The question I will be asking is **
 * Good thinking Ellie! This sounds like a great science experiment. Remember you'll only have a week to measure the plant's growth- will this be enough time? I do have a suggestion of putting the seed towards the outside of a clear container so you can see the plant starting to emerge from the seed. Are you going to measure the plant daily or at the end of your experiment? **

ice cream and a timer.

Oops, I need to do this || Giulia Reading With type of pasta cooks the quickest with butter? Angel hair, pasta bows or pencil points? **Good Guilia- Remember what we discussed in class: Try to get the water for all the pastas to the same temperature (or as close as you can). Tastey experiment!** :) Ms.Potts They are all pasta.   The kind of pasta.   I think that the pencil points will cook the fastest. I think that the bows will come next than the angel hair.
 * I have asked a parent if I can do this experiment at home. **
 * The question I will be asking is **

 * My dependent variable will be **
 * My hypothesis is **

A timer,a stove, pot, angel hair, patsa bows, pencil points. Try to have the water the same temperature each trial/time.

How high will three different kind of scissors go when tied to seven balloons.
 * The question I will be asking is **
 * This will be a fun experiment! Good luck and be safe! :) Ms.Potts **

My baloons and scissors.
 * My independent variable will be **

How high will three different kind of scissors go to seven balloons in feet.
 * My dependent variable will be **

I think that the smaller scissor will go the highest because it is going to be lighter tan the other scissors. I will need a trifold 1 to ten helium balloons and three different size scissors.
 * My hypothesis is **
 * The materials I will need are **

Yes, they agree || Eric huesca
 * I have asked a parent if I can do this experiment at home. **

which football will go farther after I take two steps,three steps,and four steps
 * The question I will be asking is **
 * Eric- Good start, but there's too many variables. Are you testing the type of football or if the changes of steps you take before you kick makes a football go further? Which is going to be your independent variable? Let's talk and get you on track! :)Ms.Potts **

Is as many steps I take.
 * My independent variable will be **

How many feet will my throw go.
 * My dependent variable will be **

I think the more steps I take will go farther.
 * My hypothesis is **

Football,metaltape measuretape to mark throw point.
 * The materials I will need are **

What blue lolly pop last the longest when being sucked on? Will it be a dom dom pop a blow pop or a bank pop?
 * The question I will be asking is **
 * Sounds like a fun experiment- just don't tell your dentist :). Enjoy the data collecting :)Ms.Potts **

They are all the color blue.
 * My independent variable will be **

There are diffrent kins of lolly pops.
 * My dependent variable will be **

Hypothesis is that the blow pop will last the longest while being sucked on. I think that the bank pop will come second and the dom dom pops will come last.
 * My hypothesis is **

I will need a bank pop, a dom dom pop, a blow pop, and a clock.
 * The materials I will need are **

Yes, they agree || Rebecca Godown
 * I have asked a parent if I can do this experiment at home. **

Which soda contains the most fizz after 20 shakes?
 * The question I will be asking is **
 * Good way of building up arm strength! Remember what we talked about in class for how you'll measure for results. Happy shaking:) Ms.Pott **

20 shakes of the soda can.
 * My independent variable will b **

the 3 types of soda, giant brand,coke, or pepsi. I think that the pepsi will fizz the most after 20 shakes.
 * My dependent variable will be **
 * My hypothesis is **

1.The 3 types of soda 2. fizz measurer(a board with meaurments pre marked) 3. goggles 4.marker(to mark the hight of soda) 5.tray to collect to over spray Yes, they agree ||
 * The materials I will need are **

 * Christopher

Which material will rip the fastest under running water.
 * The question I will be asking is **
 * Looks good Chris. I'm interested to see how this turns out. Remember to do three trials for each material and ask a parent for permission and/or help. **

The material.
 * My independent variable will be **

The temperature and speed of the water falling on the material.
 * My dependent variable will be **

I believe plain paper will rip first.
 * My hypothesis is **

A sink, parchment paper, construction paper, plain paper, a timer. Oops, I need to do this || Catherine Trelstad

How much dish soap is needed in water to make a bubble with a bubble wand? Cady-This sounds like a perfect experiment for Spring weather. I’d love to hear your thoughts about it in class.-Ms.Potts
 * The question I will be asking is **

the amount of soap
 * My independent variable will be **

bubbles
 * My dependent variable will be **

The water with a good amount of dish soap will make a bubble. Water with just a little dish soap will not make a bubble.
 * My hypothesis is **

Water Soap Ten bottles A bubble wand
 * The materials I will need are **

Yes, they agree ||
 * I have asked a parent if I can do this experiment at home. **
