NEED SUPPLIES? We recommend two great places that have been around for years. ScienceKit.com has tons of supplies for your science fair projects. Edmund Scientifics has been my personal favorite for everything related to science, since I can remember.

Are you looking for online learning fun for your kids? Games can be fun as well as educational. Studies have shown that interactive learning games help kids obtain better grades, work harder in school, and enjoy learning much more. Need Math homework help? For many educational resources visit the great site Learning Haven!

Great New Game from Edmund Scientifics: Khet!

I just received a brand new game from ScientificsOnline.com called Khet. My sister, the archaelogist, spends months in the Middle East every year and may appreciate the Egyptian theme of this game, but the concept of Khet is what grabs me!

I love a game of chess, and enjoy Stratego as well. Khet is all that, and more! The idea is to protect your Pharoah by moving different types of mirrors and obstacles, while at the same time trying to hit your opponents Pharoah with your built-in laser.

Khet - Bounce your laser beam into your opponent's Pharoah!

My first impression was that this would be a simple game and would quickly end up in storage. I was wrong! My wife and I keep it under the couch in the living room and needless to say...we play frequently. Each side has a small laser built into the side of the game, which you fire once per turn. By moving your pieces into different positions, you try to guide your laser beam into the vulnerable side of your opponent's pieces, and eventually into their Pharaoh. The strategy can be incredibly complex, but even my 5 year old granddaughter was able to learn the basic concepts and beat me at a game (well....maybe I gave her a little help)!

Khet is a great game which teaches you to think ahead and helps you learn angles. I give it 5 stars!

Help The Free Science Fair Projects Network Help You!

With school in full swing, many of you are hard at work getting ready for this year's science fair projects.

Help us keep the Free Science Fair Projects Network up to date. From your research this year, you have probably found one or two free "gems" along the way that would really help someone else with their science project. If everyone contributes what they know, we can gather the best of these free resources into one place so that we can all help each other.

Visit our Contact Us page to report a great link that has free science fair projects. If you used a website for research in your science project that has good solid resources in biology, chemistry, physics, etc., send us a link. On behalf of everyone that has taken advantage of the resources available at the Free Science Fair Projects Network, we offer a sincere "thank you" in advance for your help this year!

Recent Questions We've Received About Science Fair Projects

From Abraham in El Paso, TX:
Do plants grow faster with sunlight or artificial light?

That would be a great topic for a project. Obviously, artificial light is able to be on 24/7 whereas natural light is restricted to daytime. The real question becomes which grows plants faster when all other factors are constant.

I don't know the answer to this question, but this should be your project. Keep all other factors the same: watering, nutrients, exposure to moving air, temperature, location of the plants when they are not in the light, etc. They should probably be kept in complete darkness in the same location, side by side when not in the light.

I would use 4 test groups of 12 plants each as follows:

Group 1: Artificial Light 5-6 hours per day
Group 2: Natural Light 5-6 hours per day
Group 3: Artificial Light 8-12 hours per day
Group 4: Natural Light 8-12 hours per day

This should give you some excellent data. The reason for the two lengths of time is because in the morning and evening, sunlight penetrates the atmosphere at an angle which will probably be a factor in their growth rate.

Hope this gets you started in the right direction! My bet is on the artificial lights!

From Eric in New Jersey:
My son is doing a science project comparing the magneticity of various metals. But we can't find the various metals! We need a few different pieces that are of uniform size and weight. Any ideas?

Go to ScienceKit.com and in the Search Box, enter "6140202" where it says to Enter Keyword or Item #. That will give you the Specific Gravity Metal Specimen Set (same sizes, but different masses). You might also try Item "4800900" which is the Equal Mass Density Cubes (different sizes, but same mass).

Actually, if you can afford it, it would be interesting to do the project from both angles, one batch with the same size, and one batch with the same mass!

Hope this helps, and best wishes on your project!
