In this cooking and food science fair project, determine which common crops are found most often in processed foods. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction,...

In this food science fair project, students will determine which foods make good edible foams, with high volume and longevity. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and...

In candy making, corn syrup is known as an "interfering agent." You can find out just what this agent does by making two batches of lollipops, one with corn syrup and one without and examining the differences between the two. Once you...

In this environment-oriented experiment, you will mix it up with earthworms, soil, and various types of organic kitchen scraps. The basic idea is to set up small earthworm colonies to compost different types of food waste. You test the...

Students conduct an experiment to determine whether or not the sense of smell is important to being able to recognize foods by taste. They do this by attempting to identify several different foods that have similar textures. For some of...

As the world's population grows larger, it is important to improve the quality and yield of food crops and animal food sources. Agricultural technicians work in the forefront of this very important research area by helping scientists...

This is a hands on lesson plan in which students will explore their local community to identify living things. It can be used as part of a unit on biodiversity and energy transfer within a biology, zoology, or environmental science...

This ZOOMSci video segment shows how to create self-contained environments and explore how plants grow under different conditions. [3:24]
