Weather Science Fair Projects Using Sunlight, Rainbows, Ice Cubes
and More

Weather science fair projects using sunlight, rainbows, ice cubes and more are bountiful. You can find ideas for these types of earth science experiments just about every where that you look. If you are interested in quick science fair projects that explore the weather then try out the following experiments.

For Students

The first option that you have for weather science fair projects using sunlight, rainbows, ice cubes and more is to focus on sunlight projects. One sunlight project that you can complete is to create a sun catcher. The sun catcher will utilize the light produced by the sun to create beautiful light art on your walls. You can then tell how sunny it is outside by the intensity of the colored light that is dancing on your walls.

The second option that you have for weather science fair projects using sunlight, rainbows, ice cubes and more is to focus your projects on rainbows. Rainbows are unique weather phenomenon that is dependent on very specific weather conditions and specific angles of the sun. In this sample experiment you will want to determine what weather conditions are required for a rainbow to appear. Determine if smog affects the appearance of rainbows.

The third option that you have for earth science experiments is to work with ice cubes. Ice cubes can be used to determine how hot it is outside. For this experiment you will want to place out two ice cubes on a plate and time how long it takes for the ice cubes to melt. Note the outside temperature. Repeat the experiment each day. Is there a relationship between the outside temperature and the amount of time it takes to melt the ice cubes? If yes, can you predict how hot it is outside simply by timing how long it takes for your ice cubes to melt?

The fourth option that you have for weather science fair projects is to experiment with barometric pressure. Barometic pressure is directly related to weather fronts. In this experiment you will chart the barometric pressure during the course of a day. As changes occur to the pressure, make an entry in your project journal about what weather conditions are present outside of your window.

Putting together a great weather themed science fair project is not difficult to do. All you have to do is find an interesting and unique way to explore a weather topic and then apply what you learn to a problem. To ensure your project is given the attention that it deserves you will need to create an attractive visual display that illustrates your experiment.
