What are some testable questions?

A testable question is a question that we can answer through a science experiment. To do this, we do a control science experiment, then we change one thing in the experiment to see how it affects what happens. This is how we can discover the answer to our question!

• What makes a cloud form?

• Can drink and food taste different just by changing its color?

• Does the color of light affect photosynthesis?

• Does temperature affect seed sprouting?

• What makes popcorn pop?

What are some hands-on ways to find inspiration for my science fair project?

Science museums

Science museums are great places to explore if you're looking for inspiration for your next science fair project or just want to learn more about science. Science museums, natural history museums, space museums, and discovery museums are all great places to do that! You can discover all sorts of interesting things about science and find cool project ideas for science fairs.

Don't worry about how much it costs to get into the science museum, as there may be free admission days or free passes to a science museum near you! Check your credit card for offers, your local library for free museum passes, and nearby science museums for free entrance days.

Find a science museum near you and prepare to be awed by all that you can learn there! I always learn something new and am inspired whenever I go to a science museum!

Look around and observe

Do you know how scientists start their cool projects? They often get curious about something when they read about a topic or make observations around them. You can do the same! Read about a science topic and look around your school, home, or community. Is there anything that catches your attention and makes you curious? Maybe you notice something interesting or a problem that people are facing. This could be a great starting point for your science fair project!
