Yeast Science Project – A Page and a Blog to ‘Catch
Yeast is just fascinating on a lot of levels. And a science project on yeast is almost too easy to do. You can usually get anything you need at the supermarket and results are almost instantaneous. The fermentation of yeast is a chemical change, and there are tons of different demonstrations and experiments that you can use for your science fair.
Chemical Change Science Projects
Chemistry science projects involving a chemical change are often chosen by middle and high school students. Many kids like to do an experiment with a dramatic chemical change. When searching for a project, it can be difficult to find an experiment with chemicals that are easy to find, and easy to work with.

Dependent and Independent Variables – Figuring Out Which is Which
I got an email from a customer today. She was having trouble distinguishing the independent variable from the dependent. She’s doing the “Vitamin ‘C’itrus” project, in which you count the number of iodine indicator drops added to several samples of fruit juice, thus determining how much vitamin C is present in each sample.
Here’s my response: [...]
Using Iodine as an Indicator
In our “Vitamin C-itrus” project, students are shown how to make a Vitamin C indicator using corn starch and water. The instructions call for 2% or 10% iodine. Sometimes parents try to find the iodine at a science supply store. This isn’t necessary; regular antiseptic iodine will work, as long as it is not the [...]
Bread Mold Science Projects
Occassionally, we feature projects by other individuals. Here are some science project ideas on bread mold. Use them as a springboard for your science fair entry! But don’t forget to check out our project guides at 24 Hour Science Projects!

Vitamin C – Using an Indicator
When you mix Iodine and Vitamin C (the scienctific name is ascorbic acid), something interesting happens; the solution turns blue for a bit, then returns to the color of the juice. Keep adding the iodine, however, and the mixture will turn a very inky dark blue color. Why is this? Here’s a kid friendly explanation?
Iodine [...]
Chemical Change Science Projects
As students head to middle and high school, they are expected to do more advanced science projects. Many kids like to do an experiment with a dramatic chemical change. We have a couple of chemical change science projects that our boys have done. These are slightly more advanced, yet still have easy to find supplies [...]
