Question by i_quitt: What are good cheap and easy science project suggestions? The science projects must be easy to explain and also in a high school level of education. And must illustrate laws and practical application. And the materials needed must concede of only common household items. Our school doesn't have a lab. Best answer for What are good cheap and easy science project suggestions?:

If you want it to be very easy, try the volcano trick with the vinegar and all. I tried this at school and got a high grade: QUICKSAND you only need water and cornstarch. mix them together with your hands. When you roll it in between your hands, it feels solid but when you let it go, it will flow through your fingers. Just make sure there are more cups of cornstarch than cups of water. I used 2 cups cornstarch and 1 cup water. for effect you can add food coloring. Try the link: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000088
From UFOTV®, accept no imitations. For years, Scientists and Explorers have debated over the question: How did the Egyptians build the great pyramids? Now a new solution has been found by Italian researcher Elio Diomedi that may provide answers in this controversial documentary.

Behavioral science projects are often chosen by students preparing for the science fair. These projects explore the behavior of a quirky and strange creature - the human being! Behavioral projects are a lot of fun, allowing kids to learn a lot about science and psychology while meeting people and developing their social skills. Before you or your child chooses to do a project on human behavior, check with your teacher. Some will not allow behavioral science projects because of the difficulty of getting a large enough sample size.
Once a project is approved, however, the next step is to actually recruit subjects (humans!) for the study. Here are some ideas on places to recruit people to help:
~Get permission from a local mall to set up a table/area. The smaller the mall, the better your chances of them allowing this.
~Put a free ad in the 'services>lessons' section of Craig's List asking for volunteers for a behavioral science project.
~Enlist test subjects from your school. Your teacher can help.
~Throw a 'Behavioral Science Project' party, and invite your friends and their parents. Make it a pot luck affair to cut down on costs.
~Reserve a room at your library, and put a sign on the door announcing your experiment.
~Get a local restaurant to loan you their 'party room' during lunchtime. They might even offer a coupon to participants to help you advertise your study - and their restaurant.
~Ask the human resources department at a parent's place of business if you can set up a test in the employee break room.
~One of our boys did an experiment called Hear, Hear! It explored whether two ears hear better than one. (Complete step by step instructions for this project are available at Online Science Projects. We were required to get a group of twenty-four adults. We w ent to a local church before a service, and asked individuals if they would help us out. Our test was set up in a classroom.
Of course the list goes on, and you probably can think of a lot more places for your science project tests. If you've got some good ideas, drop us a line at our website Online Science Projects! We'd love to hear where you set up for your Behavioral science project!
