Coming up with ideas to base your science project is half the fun. In case you are stuck for ideas you can get creative with a simple brainstorming exercise. Here is how the process works.

First calm your brain down by emptying all thoughts from it. Sounds easier than it is do in practice. A little deep breathing may help the process. Now sit down with a paper and pencil and come up with all kinds of scientific problems to solve.

It is important not to restrict your thoughts at this stage. Write down any idea that strikes you no matter how improbable it seems to you. Keep writing till your brain can’t think of another idea. Then wait a minute and again push the brain for more ideas.

You should have a comprehensive list of possible ideas to base your science project on by now. Next step is to weed out the ones that are too difficult to do. Bring it down to projects that you can handle on your own. Now leave the list for a day.

The next day look at the list and see which one calls to you the most. That is the possible science project that you should get ready to tackle first. Now flesh it out with more details and add the steps that you will have to take to complete this science project.
