How to Decide on a Project?
Think about topics that interest you. 
electricity....water...solar energy...cell phones...recycling...germs...climate change...music...pets...insects...severe weather...five senses...periodic table
Brainstorm questions you have about how things work,
or how something could work better.
Design a test or experiment that uses the scientific method to answer your question.

Does cell phone use impact short term memory?
What water conditions are indicative of mosquitoes carrying viruses?
What's the best treatment for ant bites?
Is wifi or carrier more strain on a cell phone battery? 

If you don't do an experiment, but would like to share your research, choose the Research Results category. 
These projects will be allowed for the
Rock Hill Schools Secondary Science Fair, but  will not be allowed to proceed to the Piedmont Region III Science Fair. 
What happens to blood once it is donated but before it is given to a new person?
What I learned from my Ancestry DNA results, and my new questions.
