There are LOTS of books available at the library about science fair projects and lots of websites with different suggestions for science fair experiments. However, life is full of interesting things going on as well. Look around and see what you might explore further. Do the squirrels like one type of birdseed vs. another? What type of toilet paper makes the toilet plug (and why)? Does graphite make a difference on the speed of pinewood derby cars or is it just a tradition to use it?

Search on google for terms such as "science fair project elementary" or "science fair project middle school."
