You need to pick a topic that you find interesting.  Are you stuck?   Click here to find some ways to pick a science fair idea that is right for you.  Remember, a good science fair topic should be worded as a question and should be able to be tested to prove whether you hypothesis is correct or not.  

Still don't know what to do?  Here are web sites that might help you.

Facts on File is a site recommended by Mrs. Fleming. To access this at home, you must get the user name and password from your classroom teacher or Mrs. Fleming.   Once you log in, scroll down to to science.   Then on the right hand side of the science page is a link marked "Experiments."  There you can search ideas by grade level and topic.  Just make sure it can be turned into a "testable" question.

Other sites you can log on yourself are:
