1000 Science Fair Projects with Complete Instructions

Forces and motion are the study of how things move and why they move that way. From the way a ball rolls down a hill to how rockets fly to the moon, forces and motion are at work.

Gauss Rifle: Magnetic Chain-Reaction Launcher
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Roll one steel ball toward a row of magnets and watch the last ball shoot off at high speed.
Hull Shape, Mass, and Sinking Speed
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Drop four differently shaped objects into a water tube and discover which shape sinks fastest.
Salt, Temperature, and Water Surface Tension
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Float a tiny aluminum foil square on water and count how many rice grains it holds before sinking at five different temperatures.
Salt, Heat, and Surface Tension Strength
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Drop rice grains onto foil floating in pure and salt water at five temperatures to map how surface tension weakens.
Balloon Power and Newton's Third Law
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Tape a balloon to a Styrofoam car and watch Newton's Third Law launch it across the floor.
Parachute Design and Air Resistance
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Build a parachute from a plastic bag and see how trapped air slows a falling toy to a gentle float.
Height, Weight, and Potential Energy
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Drop and swing objects of different weights from different heights to see how potential energy changes.
Ramp Angles and Pulling Force
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Pull a weighted brick up ramps at different angles and measure how much force each slope saves.
Household Lubricants and Friction on Metal
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Brush four household products onto an aluminum ramp and race a steel block to find the best lubricant.
Skateboard Bearing Quality and Roll Distance
Forces and Motion Science Fair Project
Medium
Swap five different bearing brands into a skateboard and measure how far it rolls from a ramp to find out if price matches performance.
