  • A science project is an educational activity for students in one of the science disciplines involving experiments or construction of models. Sometimes, students present their science project in a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project.

    7th graders

Science Project
This is my older son’s science project from 7th grade (1999). The intention was to compare the weight supported by a suspension bridge and a truss bridge. The same amount of material (balsa and roadway) was used in both bridges.

My Science Project
John Stockwell, Danielle Von Zerneck. Time warps and chaos erupts when a high school student discovers an alien life form and brings it to class. 1985/color/94 min/PG/widescreen.

Faced with not graduating unless he completes his science project, a high school gear-head sneaks into a nearby Air Force base, looking for some gizmo he can pass off as his own invention. What he finds is an alien energy device that rips holes in both time and space, infesting the school with everything from dinosaurs to the Viet Cong. Writer-director Jonathan Betuel tries to mine some of the same veins as Weird Science and Real Genius (all three films were released in 1985) but with less success–mostly due to a slapdash script. The film veers from being The Breakfast Club to WarGames to Rambo, leaping over plot holes all the way. As the hero, John Stockwell is too low-key for his own good, but Danielle Von Zerneck is appealing as his emerging love interest, and Fisher Stevens and Raphael Sbarge do their best to inject some life into the material. Dennis Hopper (as a hippie-dippie science teacher) chews the scenary with gusto–and at one point shows up wearing the costume he wore in Easy Rider. –Geof Miller
