Looking for fun science project ideas for your child’s next science fair ?
Here are some ideas for a science project that are fun, and quick and easy to boot that we put together at 24 Hour Science Fair Projects
One of the things we tried to do is come up with ideas for a science project that our kids would enjoy doing. There is nothing worse than having to supervise a child with a project, no matter what the subject is, that they hate. So to avoid the, “Why do I have to do this stupid project?” whines, we aimed to find fun science project ideas that the kids would enjoy and learn some science at the same time.
First things first…
Your first ideas will come from your child as they look around as ask questions like, “I wonder if….. this would be better if we tried that…” and as long as your teacher has spelled out the step by step process you have to use, you will be good and your search is over. Things like “Can I use soda instead of water to make popsicles?” might turn into an experiment with freezing different liquids and an experiment on freezing points. You will have to go online and do some research on the topic for the report, but honestly, that is how we came up with most of our ideas for a science project and then we perfected them. That is exactly how this interesting science fair project about seeds and magnets came to be!
Here are some fun science project ideas that we like a lot that can be done in 24 hours
Figuring out how much Vitamin C is in popular juices
This is a great experiment where you learn how to use iodine to test Vitamin C levels after you put the juices through a paste making process. It is cool because you have to go through these steps that make you feel like a scientist as you label, measure, heat, and test things along the way. The best part is you can actually use the results in your every day life, and it might even change your buying habits!
Another one you can apply to your buying habits is how biodegradable different toilet papers are.
For this you go through several steps where you put the paper in water and drain out the liquid so eventually all you have left is the paper that did not dissolve. Once it is dried and weighed, you will know which brand is really the most biodegradable. This is one of the ideas for a science project that comes from every day life and a popular environmentalist topic at the same time.

One of the fun science project ideas that work well in a demonstration
Showing how yeast works
This is a one of the fun food science fair projects to use when you stand in front of the class and talk about yeast and show with balloons yeast at work. This one lets you talk about yeast facts while you put the project together and do the project and then when it is over and the balloons do their thing, you can explain the science behind it. These things working together is what make a successful demonstration project.
