What is the best 7th grade science project ever?

We love the Fast Food Nutrition project for seventh grade science students. This project encourages students to look more closely at the nutritional value of fast food that's easily available. This project is not only a research project on fast food nutrition, but it also gives middle school students the opportunity to interview willing test subjects about their eating habits.

What are 5 testable questions for 7th grade?

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!

Here are some testable questions that our seventh grade science projects investigate.

• Do detergents affect plant growth?

• 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?
