Question: Any good ideas for Science Experiments?

Well, this weekend I have to do a science experiment (fun and simple but not too easy) for extra credit. Anyone know any good ones? I already know about the bouncy eggs and diet coke and mentos.

Answer: These sites are geared for science fair projects, but maybe you can find something you like and use or adapt the idea for your purpose:

BTW, the only registration you need to do is that first page. They don’t ask for anything private. It’s a great way to get ideas based on your interests.

Answer: abstracs is a resume about you are going to do and what is your proposal on the experiment.

On your procedure you fail to say how many time each you are going to take notes about the experiment. What type of soil you are going to use and if you are going to use only a sort of soil or several.
