I do not do science.... that is my husbands deal. On our science projects, 1 kid gave us at least a months notice. My husband and my child built a jacobs ladder together. It was really cool, for 7th grade.
Our other child informed me at 4:30 pm that he would need a science project by the next morning. My husband used copper wire, a magnet or 2, a washer (nut/bolt type, not clothes) a styrofoam cup and a rubber band. They made the washer spin as they got closer to the magnet. Was pretty cool.
Hoping you find something to help your child and they enjoy even a bit.

So happy that our school district doesn't do science fairs!!! But DD9 (3rd grade) has just been given an animal report/project to do. But that's just research, writing a 5-10 paragraph paper, giving a speech and then making a diorama/poster/game/etc. And thankfully my DH likes doing that kinda stuff 
Have you decided on anything mrsmom?

Ok, this will be quick, easy, cheap & entertaining for the rest of us.
Why doesn't he do a study on how quickly Rebecca melts down & reaches for the Captain while she is struggling to do any of the previously suggested projects.
All he will need is a stop watch & digital camera to document her slide from calm to totally frustrated. Extra points if he hides her booze first so she has to search for it.
:lol:
You could do what I did in 8th grade:
Determine which works better, a store bought/fancy/actual incubator or a homemade incubator when hatching..........
CHICKENS!!!
My parents were out of their minds. There is no way in hell I would support my DD's decision to do that as a project. We had chickens in our (suburban) basement for weeks. :lol:

Didn't like the cookie idea? I thought that was pretty good.

I've narrowed it down to a few ideas to think about. I like the colored carnations, fake lung and the cleaning pennies with vinegar (halla) and a few others. Great ideas everyone thanks! :flowers:
Thanks
Cookies are great, especially as bribery for more votes from classmates & teachers. Who doesn't love cookies? :snicker:
Then there are the fun & messy projects, like the exploding volcano. I loved it, there was mud & 'lava' everywhere. :lol:

Colligative properties of solutions...I certainly hope she is not in high school as this is not project worthy for a high school student.
She's very busy.
I think the bean thing is a good idea....and I so get the Science Fair thing....
Don't know who suggested it, but you can try the opposite of the melting salt/freshwater. Test which freezes faster. Use two plastic cups, two popsicle sticks(for stirring when checking to see if the water is frozen), salt and water. Even with a decent size cup, one should be totally frozen within about 4 hours. He can check every hour or so and record his observations.
