QuestionMy child is in middle school and is very interested in science. Do you know what types of projects are good for kids in middle school to create for the science fair?
AnswerThe best projects are things that are unique and interesting to the student. Common ideas include things like the baking soda volcano, but most kids find that boring. The student will get more out of the project if they have a hand it developing the idea.

AnswerIf you are a parent or guardian you need to talk to the school administration or the adult that supervises your child's community activities. If the school does not keep your child safe you need to contact the State School Department. If your child is being bullied due to their race you can contact the U.S. Department of Education's Office on Civil Rights.
