Science Fair Project Ideas - Global Warming

Science Fair Projects for Middle and High School

Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. When scientists talk about the issue of climate change, their concern is about global warming caused by human activities.

Project Ideas:

1. Explain the 'The Greenhouse Effect'.
2. What is the climate system?
3. Can we change the climate? Explain how.
4. What happens when the temperature rises? What can happen and what can we do to stop the green house effect?
