.No, just no.

First of all, you need to know the difference between, EXPERIMENT, and DEMONSTRATION.. If you are to do an experiment, that does not mean putting mentos in pepsi. But instead having controls, and a specific problem...Like will the height of dropping the mentos, effect the Pepsi's reaction height? ... SO. IDEAS: Do positive or negative words affect plants? Can people walk without seeing (hard to explain) ....And so on! You're the scientist! Find a problem and put it to the test:) Hope I helped. ~8th Grader.

Ugh..

For a good science fair project you need to be ORIGINAL. Look up on the internet how to make your own makeup, lipstick, powder, and eyeshadow. Compare your makeup to store brands and see if it's good or not
