Help!

I need 5th grade science fair project ideas... My son just told me that he has to know what he is going to do for a project by tomorrow. WTF?

Please help! I've searched the internet but was wondering if anyone had any good ideas!

you can do the honey, water, cooking oil thing to explain density and all that stuff.

Cold fusion if that doesn't work.

You could be a good parent and let your son do his own work. If he waited until the last minute to say anything about it, let him get the F for the project. That way, he can learn about taking charge of his responsibilities now instead of trying to get him to learn it when he's in his twenties.

It's call accountability and responsible parenting.

More parents should try it these days.

I don't remember what the hell I did but I have a friend with a kid that just did an experiment in fourth grade I think - not for a science fair, just in class. But it could be adapated and it's still pretty timely/current (BP spill). The premise: what happens when you mix oil and water and what happens to substances in water vs. oil and water? After looking at what happens to certian substances, they then looked at what materials are best at soaking up the oil. I assume they just used vegetable oil or something. Could be cool.

Maybe just ask him "Can you think of something that would be interesting and relevant to current events?" You could mention the hurricane and the oil spill. "What about the oil spill? What could you test there?"

Just a thought.
