Preparing the Seawater
Science Buddies — The goal of this ocean science fair project is to understand and demonstrate ocean acidification. The student will accomplish this by comparing how mussel shells are dissolved in seawater of varying acidities and temperatures. An understanding of ...More…

Building Beaches
Science Buddies — The objective of this Physical Sciences science fair project is to investigate how ocean waves build beaches. The objective is to build a model beach and see how waves affect the shoreline of the beach. There is nothing better than spending a ...More…

Deep-ocean currents
Science Buddies — Make a model of ocean currents in this oceanography science fair project. The objective of this ocean science fair project is to make a model of ocean currents and measure how the heat input affects velocity of the currents. Ocean currents ...More…

Hurricanes and Climate
Science Buddies — The goal of this project is to study the historic relationship between the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the number and strength of hurricanes, either in the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. Is global warming causing an increase in hurricane ...More…

Harmful Algal Blooms in the Chesapeake Bay
Science Buddies — The goal of this project is to use online data from continuous monitoring stations on the Chesapeake Bay to study water quality measurements before and after algal bloom events. Have you read articles in the newspapers about dead fish found on a ...More…

Timing the Tides
Science Buddies — You need to live within driving distance to a beach or ocean front to do this experiment. In this experiment you will measure the amount of time that different tidal zones (high, middle, and low) spend out of the water during one tidal cycle. The ...More…

Primary Productivity and Plankton
Science Buddies — In this experiment you will make a plankton net to collect samples of plankton from different locations as an indicator of primary productivity. The oceans contain both the earth's largest and smallest organisms. Interestingly they share a ...More…

How Salty is the Sea?
Science Buddies — In this experiment you will test several freshwater and saltwater samples to see how much salt they contain. People often wonder how salty the ocean is, but what does this mean? What you are really asking is how much salt is dissolved in the ...More…

Harbor Porpoise Movement
Science Buddies — Understanding of latitude and longitude, reading maps; Longer project times if monitoring currently tagged animals. The objective of this experiment is to determine what influences the movement of harbor porpoises. Is there a pattern to their ...More…

Do Hurricanes Cool the Ocean?
Science Buddies — If hurricanes get their power from warm ocean waters, does this mean that after a hurricane passes the ocean surface will be cooler? If so, is the amount of cooling proportional to the strength of the hurricane? The goal of this project is to ...More…

Do Warmer Seas Make Stronger Hurricanes?
Science Buddies — Familiarity with computers and web browser is helpful for this project. The goal of this project is to test the hypothesis that warmer seas make stronger hurricanes. You will collect historical data on hurricane strength and sea surface ...More…

Try This Eggsperiment to Measure the Density of Salt Water
Science Buddies — The goal of this project is to measure the density of salt water by determining what salt concentration will float an egg. If you put an egg in a cup of water, it will sink to the bottom. The density of the egg is higher than the density of tap ...More…
