Collecting Your Weather Data
Science Buddies — In this weather science fair project, students will determine the factors necessary to create radiation fog. Each morning around sunrise, you will need to make visual observations of a field, park, or other area with considerable plant matter ...More…

Tracking Geomagnetic Storms in the Ionosphere
Science Buddies — In this science fair project, test whether errors in GPS (global positioning system) signals are correlated with geomagnetic storm activity in the ionosphere. You will need access to a WAAS-capable GPS receiver for this project. You will need to ...More…

Mountain Ranges*
Science Buddies — Many continents contain large mountain ranges that divide the continent into different regions. In the U.S. the Rocky Mountains mark the continental divide. The presence of a large mountain range can have a big effect on seasonal weather ...More…

Predicting the Weather
Science Buddies — In this science fair project, find the most accurate way to predict the weather without advanced technology. The objective of this experiment is to find the most accurate way to predict the weather without using advanced technology, like ...More…

Wind Speed*
Science Buddies — Wind can make a cold day colder, or a hot day more pleasant. Use weather data to test the effect of wind on the temperature. How much of a change on the perceived temperature can the wind make? How is wind shear calculated? How can a wind ...More…
-
Ozone Depletion*
Science Buddies — The ozone layer is important for blocking most of the harmful radiation that comes from the sun. You can find maps of the ozone layer and compare different regions of the globe for ozone coverage. Where are the problem areas? Is there a ...More…
-
Hurricanes*
Science Buddies — Unless you live in the Southern states, you only hear about the most destructive hurricanes. In fact hurricanes occur every year, even multiple times a year. Each hurricane is a tropical storm related to cyclones and tornadoes, some big and some ...More…
-
Flash Floods*
Science Buddies — You can investigate how the geography of an area makes it prone to severe flash floods. Some areas, typically gullies or canyons, can flood extremely rapidly making it impossible to escape a flash flood. Compare the topography, or geographical ...More…
-
Ocean Currents and Weather*
Science Buddies — Ocean currents have a huge impact on our weather. If not for the ocean currents, the global climate would be similar to an ice age. Do you live near the coast? Find out which currents are near your coastline. How do they affect your climate? ...More…

From Gas to Rust: Measuring the Oxygen Content of Air
Science Buddies — The goal of this experiment is to measure the percentage of oxygen in air samples. We live near the bottom of an ocean of air that surrounds the earth. The atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation from the sun, yet captures enough of the ...More…

How Do the Seasons Change in Each Hemisphere?
Science Buddies — In this experiment you will investigate seasonal weather patterns and climates of different hemispheres by comparing historical weather data for major cities around the globe. What are the seasons of the year where you live? Is it warm and sunny ...More…
