Question by mozzarella_24: Can anyone suggest a physics-related science fair project?
Our school is holding a sort of like science fair, actually, a contest between the grade 9 and grade 10 levels. It’s not that I want to win this thing but my teacher’s kind of pressuring the whole class to win this so being critical as she really is, rejected my science fair project idea. SO please, I need help! Suggest anything that is physics-related that is also appealing to grades 7 and 8 who will be our target audience since no one expects our competitors to drop by our booth.

umm… i’m in physics right now also, trying to think of a great summer assignment for the class. i would suggest something like rockets (7th and 8th graders always love rockets), or a trebuchet (catapult). those are always fun to make, and everybody loves those projects. so, have fun!

We held a great science fair this year and had some of our students go to state. The groups gong on competed and demonstrated these concepts: Earthquakes (comparing structures of buildings and what they are built on, sand, clay, etc.), Mummification (using fruit and chicken with different solutions), Production of electricity (using household objects), Eyes vs. colors (I loved this one, how fast can one read word when they are colors and the colors they are printed in are different. ex: the word red was printed in the color green and you have to read the word, not the color. Hope some of this helps! Good luck!
Build a bridge system, using different materials see which design and type of bridge is able to hold the most pressure, use varying objects to put on the bridges and test their strength.
