Experiment Ideas

Science Club - science project ideas appropriate for high school

Math Projects for Science Fair - gives ideas for projects (Geometry was one category)

Senior Projects - for grades 9-12, lists ideas by category

High School Science Fair Projects

About.com - has a long list of questions to test in a scientific experiment

Sample Projects

The Adventures of Science Bob - some of these may be for lower grades :(

Nye Labs - click "Hd" (home demos) - you have to click through several choices to get to an actual experiment; does give you the choice of downloading a printer friendly version; most of these are "demonstrations" and you'll have to MAKE them into a scientific experiment

Science Projects - links to project ideas, grade level varies

Reeko's Mad Scientist Lab

http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/demobook/chapter1.htm

Little Shop of Physics - I saw some good experiments here - not sure about the level !

Bizarre Stuff - click to enter, then click categories ... some of these are demonstrations that you'd have to turn into experiments, but there's lots here

Bubble Gum Science Project

Yes Mag - these are mostly demonstrations that you have to turn into science experiments

Kidz World
