Behavioral Science Fair Projects

Behavioral science fair projects allow you to explore human and/or animal behaviors. When we speak of behaviors we mean the actions or reactions of people and animals in response to something.

For instance, have you ever wondered why you feel better when you hear your favorite song, why males and females react differently to the same situation, or if ants can see colors? Behavioral science fair projects enable you to investigate the actions and reactions of people or animals through observational and experimental methods.

Constructing behavioral science projects can be exciting and fun. Most people however, find it difficult to come up with an experiment for their project. The following information provides ideas and sample science fair projects to assist in the development and arrangement of your science project. For related science project experiments, see Psychology Science Fair Projects.

Behavioral Science Fair Projects - Example Projects

The following project examples are meant to give you some ideas on how to perform experiments and arrange your project. Use these projects to help you get started. Try coming up with ideas for additional testing procedures to make the project your own.

Have you ever wondered what ants eat? This behavioral science project determines which concentrations of sugar ants prefer.

Animal Behavioral Science Project - Ants and Different Types of Sugar
What type of sugar do you think ants like best: table sugar, honey, molasses, or maple syrup? This behavioral science project determines which kinds of sugar ants prefer.

Human Behavioral Science Project - Fat vs. Non-fat
Can we taste fat in the foods we eat? This behavioral science project determines if people can distinguish non-fat foods from fatty foods.

Human Behavioral Science Project - Smell vs. Taste
If you smell one thing and then eat something different, can you identify the flavor of what you have eaten? This behavioral science project determines if your sense of smell affects your taste sense.
