66Science Fair Experiments that get good grades – Experiment #11 - Electromagnetism
Some of the more popular science fair experiments involve working with magnets in some way. In this project, I’m going to explain how to investigate the strength of an electromagnet made from a coil wire. You will see how the strength of the magnetic field change as the number of turns in the coil increases.

72Science Fair Experiments that get good grades – Experiment #9 - Submarine Science
Have you ever considered studying submarines when you thought about cool science fair experiments? Do you wonder why submarines need fins? In fact, most people think that submarines move very slowly when underwater, but they actually move fast! In this project, you will investigate how submarines use propellers and fins. You will do this by building your own miniature submarine and by testing different types of fins on your model.

66Science Fair Experiments that get good grades – Experiment #18 - Science with Candy
Did you know there are science fair experiments that involve candy? It’s true. Have you ever thought about what exactly makes candy certain colors? In this project, you will use paper chromatography to determine which dyes are used in the candy coatings. You will do this by comparing the unknown components of colored candy dyes with the known components of food coloring dyes.
