RC radio waves science fair projects experiment with different materials to see what blocks water waves. See the surprise that this student discovered.

For aspiring computer nerds, the Wi-Fi antennae and receiver project is a great learning experience. It explores electronic transmissions with both transmitters and receivers.

Antennas (or are they antennae?!) properties are different depending on their shape and position. It would be awesome to find out which one is the best compromise of mass, volume, and gain for a backpack HF transceiver for that perfect radio science lab.

The electric carbon arc project looks into the resistance of a carbon arc over time. Using Ohm's Law can help discover how sublimation works to degrade the ability of the electrical charge to jump from one conductor to another.

Since a photovoltaic cell turn light into electricity, the color and electrical output science project reveals how the wavelength of light and the intensity of light affects the amount of electricity produced by a solar cell.

The electrical resistance and conductivity project approach is to carefully observe, in a scientific way, the resistance of many different solder joints, electrically conductive adhesives, and electrically conductive glue.

Making a cool science project cooler with liquid nitrogen, the cryogenics science project challenges students to discover why super low temperatures can alter the states of matter, including electrical resistance and superconductivity.

The voltage drop across a diode as temperature increases project permits students to see if voltage is directly related to current and resistance, thus proving Ohm's Law.

See how to do safe electricity experiments by looking at these ideas on electrical science fair projects.

For a scientific and fun TV project, the DTV antenna project promises to determine which antenna can receive the best signals.

One cool way to store electrical energy is to build a Leyden Jar out of household materials and voila! - a simple science fair project about electricity!

Is the light output of a filament running on batteries different when you change from a tungsten filament to a nichrome filament? This electrical project will fascinate the young elementary or junior scientist in your family.

A simple electrical winding produces inductive charge on a secondary winding when the two windings are inductively coupled. Kids love easy science fair projects like this.

This model car project shows how to generate energy by charging batteries, but it will not be able to charge the same batteries that make the car run, which is why perpetual motion machines don't ever work.

Here is a great solar-cell photovoltaic cell project which tries to magnify the sun's rays to see if more electricity can be produced. The simple design and smart thinking science fair project uses a Fresnel lens and optics to produce more energy.

Using an inverter (converter) between AC and DC current, the pluginbattery operated project is the easiest science fair project for young students studying battery and alternating current.

For the best electronic school project, the radio data link science project attempts to convert fixed-length messages and commands to a robot for radio uplink. Using the amateur radio band for transmission, this idea will provide a serious student hours of experimentation.

Advanced experimenting with a tesla coil and frequencies, this electrical science project offers a serious challenge to the smartest student. Imagine a simple radio transmitter lighting up a fluorescent light bulb wirelessly and determining which frequencies travel the farthest.

With the rising cost of transportation, this project demonstrates how electric vehicles can be used to be energy efficient and "green." Experiments with an electric bike and an electric scooter show that the high cost of gas prices can be overcome using everyday parts to make "Light Electric Vehicles" or LEVs.
