The Solar System is common knowledge and the stars through important as not really fascinating enough to do a science project about. So what do you feature in your science project based on outer space? How about the lesser celestial bodies like the moon, other satellites of different planets or even the asteroid belt?

The emerging interest in the moon is based on the discovery of water on it by the Chandrayan. This astonishing discovery has been confirmed by NASA and promises to change the way we look at space travel or exploration. You could do a scientific study on how much simpler it will be to launch space crafts from the moon if it has water.

Or if that sounds like too much work, how about chronicling the various natural satellites of all the planets in the Solar System? A set of celestial bodies which has little exposure even in most models of the Solar System. You could do scale models and a study in comparison of them all.

Still not motivated? Or maybe running short of time before the science fair? Then stick to a simpler topic such as the asteroid belt between Earth and Mars. Discuss the dwarf planet which seems to have split up to form the asteroid belt. Speculate about reasons why it happened. And make sure you have a lot of pictures on your display board. That will make the project look all the more interesting.
