KIDS SCIENCE PROJECTS and AMERICAN SCIENCE MUSEUMS Here's where you can find dozens of ideas for kids science projects, as well as fascinating discoveries for adults. This page lists the names, locations and telephone numbers of the best science museums in every state. Also included are some visual examples of first rate kids science projects from recent International Science Fairs. A science fair is a competition where contestants (usually kids in grades 1 thru 12) present their science project results, often in the form of a colorful display board with pictures, graphs and charts they created. A typical science fair project is much more complex and time consuming than a project done during school hours.
