**Do something that interests YOU!**
Some questions to ask yourself when coming up with a projects problem could include:
1. Is this object/product the best it could be? Could I improve it?
2. I’m curious about the science behind [my favorite activity, sport, exc…]
3. Which object/product is most efficient?
4. Why does this happen?
5. How does that happen?
6. How often does this happen?
**QUESTION EVERYTHING!** The world is an incredible place and if don’t question it and explore we may never unleash it’s full potential… it could also make for a pretty cool science fair project!

Behavioral and Social Sciences
The science of human activities. Examples: economics, anthropology, psychology, sociology, archeology
The study of human behavior is a very fascinating science. How we react and what motivates us to do so may be more periodical than what's observed at first glance. Take the time to observe human interactions and record patterns, you'll be amazed by what you learn

Biochemistry (Mr. Standring's first area of expertise)
The science of the chemical processes of living things.Examples: Molecular biology, cell metabolism, genetic code, biological psychiatry, pharmacology. The tiniest form of life but their ability to run all systems in larger organisms is incredible! Have you ever been curious why you need a balanced diet? Or why you over heat when you're sick? This may be better suited for sr high students but if your ambitious a mentor is a good first step.

Botany
The science of plants.Examples: agriculture, horticulture, forestry, floriculture, arboriculture
Do you have a green thumb? Or even a background in agriculture and forestry? If you have an interest in our green, photosynthetic counterparts you may find this to be your scientific interest. Next time your wandering in the woods or pruning the petunias see if there is something interesting involved there.

Chemistry
The science of the properties, compositions and reactions of matter. Examples: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, metallurgy
Do not just use baking soda and vinegar. Look into different element reactions; they are much cooler than ‘volcanic foam’. With nearly 103 elements on our periodic table and thousands upon thousands of chemical reactions and uses in everyday life in nearly situations the possibilities are endless!!!

Computer Sciences
The study of computers including their use, operation and design.Examples: software development, computer engineering, artificial intelligence, simulations, graphics
If you are technologically inclined, try it! New practical software? A robot? Give it a try, but you would have to build it too… A easy user friendly computer program to help with a common user problem, gaming, exc. Best things come from the imagination.

Earth and Space sciences
The science of the earth and the science of the universe. Examples: astronomy, geology, seismology, physical oceanography, meteorology. The answer to life, the universe and everything is not just 42. Take the time to learn about how the universe was formed and how that was the start to every wonder we know of today from the formation of atoms to our yellow sun. This is one of the most fascinating sciences if you put in the time and effort to research it.

Engineering
The application of scientific knowledge for practical use. Examples: civil, electrical, chemical, mechanical and petroleum engineering. Innovation and invention to better this world we live in today. Use your scientific background to develop something to solve some of our everyday dilemmas. Observe the application of science in everyday activities, how can you build off of it?

Medicine and Health
The science of preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases. Examples: Cardiology, ophthalmology, nutrition, dermatology, oncology, internal medicine, pediatrics
Don't go straight to "cure for cancer" joke. There are an unimaginable amount of questions facing the medical community. Take to a doctor or medical professional and shadow them.

Environmental Sciences
The study of the conditions that influence life on earth.Examples: air and water pollution, population growth, extinction of species, depletion of vital resources, climate changes
Bring a fresh idea to a hot topic. There are so many unacknowledged projects regarding the environment that could possibly turn this path were heading down around. If you having something you think could help out or damaged world speak up and present it! People will listen when it involves our future

Mathematics
The study and application of the logical relations of sets. Examples: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics, operations research, calculus. You would not believe some of the incredible patterns and sequences you can find in numbers!! And the stories behind their discovery are just as facinating. If you love math you may have just found your topic. Have fun with it fellow mathlete!

Gerontology
The study of the process of aging and the problems of the elderly. Examples: geriatrics, social gerontology, psychological gerontology [Yes, this is a category in it's own. Our grandparents and guardiens have dealt with a lot on there life time. Use science to give back and make things easier for them. Or even look into the science of aging. It's still sort of a mystery in the science community but educate yourself!

Microbiology
The science of microorganisms. Examples: bacteriology, virology, protozoology
Rather than dabble with some moldy bread at different rates of decay look closer at our microscopic friends. From bacterias we share surfaces with to the yeast found in your bread. Grab a microscope and some iodine and observe how they react with different substances.

Physics
The science of matter and energy. Examples: statics*, dynamics, electricity*, magnetism, light, thermodynamics, and atomic, nuclear and solid state physics You've all heard of Alberta Einstien, whom I happen to be a huge fan of. The father of the atomic bomb unlocked some of the mysteries of the universe. I'm not saying you build one of the most destructive forces known to man, but use physics for good not evil.

Zoology
The science of animals.Examples: ornithology (birds), herpetology (reptiles and amphibians), Mammalogy (mammals), ichthyology (Fish), entomology (insects) Oh yes, don't forget our dear fuzzy, feathery, scaley, slimey and magnificant friends we share this world with! Humans are not the only animal who use science to live everyday, our critters do to. (Please harm NO animals in the making of your projects, please?)
