A Fifth Grade Science task can be one of the most fun school projects that a parent and child can do together. Here are some verily good science task ideas that our family has done. The projects are easy to do, yet they meet the requirements of most science fairs and most fifth grade teachers. Check out the ideas, and find out how to get step by step instructions at the end of this article.
These are investigative science projects, which involve a science experiment:
Cup Coffee
o Does the shape of ice work on melting time? Use the same estimate of water, place into different shaped packaging and freeze. Then see how much time each piece of ice takes to melt.
o Which toilet tissue is most biodegradable? Take samples of different types of toilet tissue, and soak them until they fall apart. Run the samples through a strainer, and see which sample leaves the most paper undissolved.
o Which citrus fruit has the most Vitamin C? Make an indicator solution with iodine and starch (it's Easy to do!), and test samples of citrus fruit or juice to see which one has the most vitamin C.
o Which brand cereal stays crunchy longest? Weigh different brands of the same cereal, soak in water, and then weigh again to see which one absorbed more water.
These are demonstration science projects - when your educator wants you to demonstrate a scientific principle to the class.
o Demonstrate that yeast gives of gas. Place a yeast and sugar solution into a bottle, put a balloon on top, and watch the yeast give off gas so that the balloon blows up!
o Demonstrate how static electricity works. Make a ball of aluminum foil dance between your finger and a pie plate. Watch this one on www.youtube.com/watch
o Demonstrate how chemical reactions can be sped up. Put alka seltzer into a cup, and watch it fiz. Then do it again with crushed alka seltzer, someone else time with warm water, and yet someone else time with Two alka seltzers.
We've done all of these science projects with our four boys, and they are fast, affordable, and easy to institute on your own. We also contribute illustrated, step by step instructions on these projects at our website! whatever you do, remember, fifth grade science projects verily can be fun and a learning feel at the same time. So grab your slide rule and your test tubes, and get started on your task now!
