This week I want to talk more about possible science fair projects that you can complete during the upcoming science fair season. This week’s project ideas are going to focus on fire place screens and gift baskets. Odd topics for science fair projects, I know, but let’s run with them any ways.
The first topic for your science fair projects is fire place screens. There are a lot of different science fair projects that you can develop around a fire place screen, including earth science fair projects and thermal energy science fair projects. For example, you can experiment with different types of materials to see which one will resist heat the best or which ones will provide a shatterproof screen. You can also develop a science fair project that uses a fire place screen for an unusual purpose, like to generate power. Use your imagination.
The second topic for your science fair project is gift baskets. You can develop biology science fair projects that look at different materials that can be used for the basket’s construction that will prevent the contents from becoming soggy or dry, or that will keep the contents cool or warm. You can also look at developing a gift basket that is alive. For example you can shape a plant using a mesh frame in the shape of a basket and then create a topiary gift basket that is not only a plant gift, but that also can carry other gifts.
Like I mentioned last week I have been looking for blogs that provide readers with good science fair project ideas. This week I came across a good one called Science Fair Projects. Check out this blog for more project ideas.
I came across this post since I was researching some ideas for my son’s science project. You have provided some good ideas that I can develop with him to put together a great project.
Same as the post above me – I am helping my son on his project. Trying not to do the standard volcano thing. Looking to use something “green” in his project. Thanks for the tips
I am in the process of looking for a screen for my fireplace and had never considered mixing that goal with a science fair project, or in my case, a boy scout project. What a great way to involve my children. And, as it is winter and we’re using our fireplace constantly, the timing couldn’t be better. Thanks for the great suggestion.
