science fair project

ok guys i have to do a science fair project which is stupid for kids in high school but what ever. I was seeing if any of you could come up with a good one. I would like to do something involving cars because that is my passion. So does any one have a suggestion? thanks

ahhhhh the days of science fair... SUCKED!

my junior year of hs was the only time I ever actually cared and tried. I did a project that involved running different types of gasoline (87 no ethanol, 87 10% ethanol etc) in a tiller to see how long the engine would run. I took the top award at 3 science fairs, including state science fair. didn't get any special awards but it was awesome to have my name attached to that around school. it takes a ton of research (PITA) and thinking and writing + putting the board together to get it all right. you can use my idea if you want.

nitrogen filled tires vs "normal air"
go into the science that air is so many % nitrogen, oxygen, helium, w/e...

and show that for normal use, it is/isnot worth it for the average driver

I know it is so stupid to force kids to actually learn something and apply it in school. What is this world coming to? No wonder America is going down the crapper.

It's so stupid you can't even think of an idea?

What do you think waits for you once you finish school? I'll give you a hint, goofing off and summer vacations aren't in the forecast.

You could use my old science project i did in the 4th grade. "Which colors keep you cooler in the hot sun" Make 3 popsicle stick houses, paint one white, one black, and leave one as the variable or constant. Put some thermometers in them and leave them in the sun.

I may be wierd by Science projects were fun. Now its all essays, papers, and exams.

Quite a lot of expensive test equipment required for those tests.

He would be best served by doing something directly related to the topics taught in his classrooms. Show the teachers that he paid attention and actually learned something and was able to apply it to a real world experiment.
