Science project idea on how we taste. Includes information on how to conduct an experiment to investigate taste in humans. - [Read more]

Science project idea based on the fact that some stinging insects spray formic acid into the air when threatened. Find an anthill, step on it lightly to disturb the ants, without getting stung place a piece of indicator paper over the ants. - [Read more]

To see, if by providing a positive stimulus, students can detect learning in cockroaches. Project provides students with the opportunity to carefully observe and work with an insect they normally find offensive. - [Read more]

Fun science project idea where the use of frogs or toads are used to demonstrate scientific method, by measuring the respiration rate, as well as the other external features of the live specimen. Website has a step-by step procedure of the experiment plus relevant information required for the experiment. - [Read more]

Science project idea to determine the effect of insecticide on ladybugs. Ladybugs are beneficial insects. They live around insect pests, which leads to accidental spraying of the ladybugs. Farmers need the ladybugs to help keep down pest population, and need to avoid killing them accidentally. - [Read more]

Science project idea on: Why Do Fireflies Glow? How Does Bioluminescence Work? How Useful is Bioluminescence? - [Read more]

Science project idea on the respiration of meal worms. Materials required for the experiment: Pasteur pipette, potassium hydroxide, non-absorbent cotton, electronic balance, mortar and pestle, food coloring, mealworms, vaseline, masking tape, metric rulers, Petri dish/weighing tray, forceps, thin wooden applicator stick. - [Read more]

Science project idea on how do different surfaces affect the distance mealworms travel in 2 minutes. Materials required: a variety of surfaces of different textures (sandpaper, cloth, paper, flour, wood, aluminum foil, etc.), 10-12 mealworms, nail polish, clock or watch with second hand, permanent markers. - [Read more]

Studying the chicken embryo and its transformation is educational as it gives insight into how humans are formed. Website includes plans for two small incubators inorder to build one. Incubation procedures show you the effects of heat, moisture, and ventilation upon the development of the chick embryo. Website includes: Formation and Parts of the Egg; Stages of Embryonic Development;Incubating and Hatching Chicks; Constructing an Egg Incubator; Embryology Projects - [Read more]

Science project idea that investigates if Crayfish are attracted to light or repelled by light. Experiment has information on: Purpose, Hypothesis, Experimental Design, Materials, Procedure, Results, Conclusion and Research Report of Experiment. - [Read more]

Science project idea investigating introvert and extrovert individuals through gestures. Website includes following information: Abstract, Introduction, Literature Review, Experiment, Results, Discussion of Results, Sources of Error and References. - [Read more]

Easy and fun science project idea using your pet! Goal of this science project idea is to find out if the pet hamster was more alert during the morning or late at night. - [Read more]

For this science project you will need an ant observatory and some ants. You will also need a cooler or refrigerator large enough to place the ant observatory into. - [Read more]

Science project idea to determine what natural pesticide is most effective in killing crickets. This information will be beneficial to society by keeping insects to a minimum while minimizing pollution of the environment. - [Read more]

The effect of the synthetic steroid, Depo-medrol on the growth of chickens. Experimental design, hypothesis and purpose are all presented in this website. - [Read more]

Science project idea on the effect of androstenedione (drug that builds muscle mass) on rat weight. Androstenedione is taken by many athletes to help them to gain bulk. - [Read more]

Science project idea to determine which flavor ants are most attracted to. This experiment can help people with ants living in their homes to uncover natural, effective ant bait. - [Read more]

The Hypothesis of this experiment is that if a certain pesticide is applied in a roach infested area, then the pesticides will prove effective. If pesticides are used regularly they will prove to be effective in preventing and controlling roach infestation. To test the effectiveness of pesticides you should observe the amount of time that it takes for the insect to die. - [Read more]

The goal of this project was to find out how UV light would affect the wing span, body length, and black wing coloration of tiger swallowtails (butterflies). - [Read more]
