Question by Bai:)<\/i>: Science Fair!!! Help… I’ll give 20 points to the Best Answer!!!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I need a Science fair project for an 8th grader. It doesn’t have to be hard, but it has to be not like something a 4th grader would do. Here are the guidelines:
\nNo animals all… sorry!!!
\nScience Project Topics to Avoid Why
\nAny topic that boils down to a simple preference or taste comparison. For example, “Which tastes better: Coke or Pepsi?” Such experiments don’t involve the kinds of numerical measurements we want in a science fair project. They are more of a survey than an experiment.
\nMost consumer product testing of the “Which is best?” type. This includes comparisons of popcorn, bubblegum, make-up, detergents, cleaning products, and paper towels. These projects only have scientific validity if the Investigator fully understands the science behind why the product works and applies that understanding to the experiment. While many consumer products are easy to use, the science behind them is often at the level of a graduate student in college.
\nAny topic that requires people to recall things they did in the past. The data tends to be unreliable.
\nEffect of colored light on plants Several people do this project at almost every science fair. You can be more creative!
\nEffect of music or talking on plants Difficult to measure.
\nEffect of running, music, video games, or almost anything on blood pressure The result is either obvious (the heart beats faster when you run) or difficult to measure with proper controls (the effect of music).
\nEffect of color on memory, emotion, mood, taste, strength, etc. Highly subjective and difficult to measure.
\nAny topic that requires measurements that will be extremely difficult to make or repeat, given your equipment. Without measurement, you can’t do science.
\nGraphology or handwriting analysis Questionable scientific validity.
\nAstrology or ESP No scientific validity.
\nAny topic that requires dangerous, hard to find, expensive, or illegal materials. Violates the rules of virtually any science fair.
\nAny topic that requires drugging, pain, or injury to a live vertebrate animal. Violates the rules of virtually any science fair.
\nAny topic that creates unacceptable risk (physical or psychological) to a human subject. Violates the rules of virtually any science fair.
\nAny topic that involves collection of tissue samples from living humans or vertebrate animals. Violates the rules of virtually any science fair. <\/p>\n

So, as you can see it is hard to find a good project.<\/p>\n

Also, NO planes, or volcanoes.<\/p>\n

The idea does not have to be original…
\nAlso, please don’t give me a list of websites.. Give me ideas… and please explain them in some detail
\nand ill give 20 points to the best answer<\/p>\n
