The Kids' Science Challenge is a national competition challenging 3rd to 6th graders to come up with new ideas in collaboration with real scientists and engineers. More than a competition, kids who visit the website can learn about the science behind candy making and skateboard engineering, among other themes. We offer curricula, games, videos and fun science activities to download and do at home or school. The Kids' Science Challenge is a free competition supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

This site guides you from start to finish with your science fair project. It concentrates on how to find ideas for a project. That seems to be the hardest part for many students, coming up with a topic idea. You will also find a lot of ideas on the site for projects and even actual detailed projects to do.

NOVA scienceNOW covers everything from stem cells, to lab-made meat (more shudder less udder), to a heartwarming segment with a cancer researcher who went to heroic lengths to save his work after hurricane Katrina.

It offers step-by-step guidance in doing science fair projects for middle and high-school students. A timeline guides students through the process of how to keep a science log, choose a category and topic, research a project, complete all six steps of the scientific method, write a project report, make a display board, and give an oral presentation.
