Here's a good way to get yourself on TV. This science fair project will help you learn how to predict the weather. So who knows, maybe you'll be more accurate than your local meteorologist.

A cricket as a thermometer? Yes, that's right. In this science fair project, you'll investigate how the chirps of these tiny creatures can do more than lull you to sleep-they can tell you the temperature.

How do you know when your hand touches something? How do you know if something brushes against your shoulder? Think about your fingertip, arm, and back. In which of these places might your nerves be closer together? Review the concept of...

Learn what a prediction and a hypothesis are in statistics and how they differ. Includes examples demonstrating the differences.

People often draw conclusions from a small number of observations, but how easy is it to draw the wrong conclusion? Here is a simple project that shows the importance of making enough observations before making a prediction.

Find out what variables are in a scientific investigation and what the difference is between an independent, dependent, and controlled variable. Look at samples of different types of variables and find out what makes a good variable.

Tossing a Frisbee with your friends is a great way to have fun in the sun. As you practice your throws and become more accurate, you're learning about the aerodynamics of Frisbee flight intuitively. You're learning the body mechanics...

There is evidence to be gathered at every crime scene. The hard part is making sense of it all. That's where crime scene investigators and forensic scientists come in. In this science fair project, you will investigate blood spatter...

Learn that the real process of science proceeds at multiple levels and sorts through many ideas, retaining and building upon those that work, and relating the evidence discovered with scientific ideas.

Find out how tiny variations in DNA can help scientists predict humans' response to drugs or to disease risk.

This activity is designed to accompany an interactive on the Annenberg Learner website. Students investigate the changes that take place in an ecosystem when they alter the organisms in a food web. As they work with the simulation, they...

In this portion of the Oxford Virtual Science Walk, a single paragraph briefly touches on Roger Bacon's life, achievements, and predictions. Illustration of the now-demolished study and observatory of Bacon.

Discusses research on balanced rock formations in California, which scientists believe can show information about severe earthquakes in the past, and whether certain areas are prone to them. [October 19, 2011]

In this lesson, students will choose an organism of their choice and research its life cycle, food chain, diet, and habitat, then predict how habitat change might affect the organisms living within it.

In this dynamic data science activity, students use data to build binary trees for decision-making and prediction. Prediction trees are the first steps towards linear regression, which plays an important role in machine learning for...

Modeling traffic data is important for urban planning, creating transportation systems, and even predicting how much foot traffic a retail store can expect in a given day. This genre of dynamic data science activities could be classified...
