Earth Science Fair Projects

Does the earth that us humans live on seem mysterious, interesting, and yet intrigues you to understand more? Perhaps for your next science fair project, make your main attraction the Earth! The Earth is much more complex than having habitats of humans, animals, insects, planets, and water. Therefore, using the Earth as your staple for your next science project can be a great way to expand your knowledge of this complex yet awesome planet we live on. Topics vary in a multitude of things, and generally are tied back into three main stratifications: Geology, Meteorology, and Oceanography. The cool thing about using the Earth for your next science project is that it allows you to use one, two, or even all three of these various stratums as they all somehow relate to each other.

Geology Ideas

- What causes landslides
- How soil management affects soil quality
- Build a model to demonstrate how earthquakes are caused

Oceanography Idea

- How does the depth of the ocean affect its temperature
- Illustrate the concept of sea-floor spreading and subduction
- Effects of temperature on salinity and PH of sea water

Meteorology

- Does the amount of moisture in the atmosphere vary in different geographic locations
- How does fog form
- Explain the different types of clouds, their purposes, and their effects
