General Science and Technology: Science Projects

Science Fair Projects for all levels. Hundreds of ideas for every science topic, from astronomy to zoology.

Over 800 science fair project ideas, answers, and tools for serious students.

This site focuses on how to find ideas and chose topics for science fair projects, and then finding the resources needed.

The master of chemical demonstrations and science policy advocate, University of Wisconsin-Madison Chemistry Professor Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, shares the fun of science through home science activities, and public presentations.

This site has science projects, and experiments to do at home.

Prof. T. Ross Kelly a professor of chemistry at Boston College has accumulated a collection of various gizmos, devices, and toys which are excellent examples of scientific principles or things that you look at and you say "That's impossible!" except it's staring you in the face. This collection of videos include explanations of how they work or references to where one can find this information.

Citizen science is a way for you to learn about birds, science, and conservation by participating in real scientific studies; a partnership between the public and professional scientists.

People of all ages can learn science at home with these easy to perform activities from the American Chemical Society. Included are chemical & physical changes, characteristics of materials, solids, liquids & gases, motion & energy, planet earth, your body, art & toys, and what chemists do.

Hands-on activities and educational resources spotlighting the connection between chemistry and everyday life, from the American Chemical Society.

The simple projects described here teach some of the basics of electrical engineering.

Learn about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) by playing games online to doing experiments at home.

Electrical engineering projects that adults can build for kids.

The internet's largest, and most popular citizen science projects.

You can search for cooperative science projects ranging in level from children to researchers.

You can browse what do-it-yourself science experimenters are working on. You can also help fund these experiments and follow their progress. Even small donations are appreciated.

When you are not using your home computer, you can run one of these free @home programs in the background to help advance science. These are four of the most important ones. For a complete list see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_distributed_computing_projects

A project hosted by the University of Delaware where you can use idle time on your home computer to aid in the development of new pharmaceutical drugs.

Use idle time on home computer to help Stanford University scientists determine how proteins fold into their their final three-dimensional structure, and to examine the causes of protein misfolding. This work will help in studying Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson’s, and many cancers.

Use idle time on your home computer to help design new proteins and to predict their 3-dimensional shapes. Proteins are the molecular machines and building blocks of life.

A scientific experiment that uses idle time on home computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Your computer can run a program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.
