Why We’re Unique?
Since 1998, millions of students, parents, and educators have
turned to ScienceProject.com for help with every step of
creating a great science project: in selecting and planning
projects, in designing experiments, in preparing and presenting
them… and, above all, in learning how a science project is
ScienceProject.com members can choose from nearly 1,000
projects. Every one of them has been carefully checked by
professional scientists or engineers, and explained in detail,
with step-by-step instructions and photos that take students all
the way from the project’s purpose to its conclusion.
We offer projects appropriate for students of all ages, from
first grade through high school. Students can choose from
projects in every major area of science: biology, chemistry,
physics, earth and environmental science, energy, health,
weather... even engineering and computer science.
Once they’ve chosen their project, students can turn to
ScienceProject.com advisors for personal, individual assistance
whenever they need it. Working together, we won’t just help
students succeed in their projects: we’ll help them gain a
deeper understanding of science and the scientific method... an
understanding they can use every day of their lives.
Great Projects from Real Experts
Projects are important for their educational values and for
their positive long-term effects on students. While doing a
project, students will learn how to face challenges and how to
overcome problems. ScienceProject.com’s projects are carefully
developed, edited, and tested by professional scientists,
engineers, or teachers before they’re made available to you.
Our Project Guides contain detailed, thorough instructions
for your science projects from the start to the end. They’ll
walk you through planning and research, identifying variables,
establishing hypotheses, designing experiments, choosing
materials and equipment, making calculations, even presenting
your results. What’s more, nearly every Guide comes with
easy-to-understand photographs that show you what to do, and
what your finished project will look like.
Our projects are designed to teach you how science and
engineering are done in the real world! Especially in our higher
level projects, we rely on the scientific method: careful
experimentation, disciplined observation, and drawing
trustworthy conclusions from your data.
When we publish a project, we’re not done! We carefully
track all the questions students ask us, and we update our
projects to reflect the answers. The result: our projects keep
improving, and keep getting easier to use.
Personal Help for Members
Most project guides contain all the information you need to
start and complete your project; however, that’s not all. As a
member, you’re matched with a personal Project Advisor who
understands your project. Need more help? Your project advisor
can help you. Send a question to your project advisor and ask
for advice. Most questions will be answered in less than 48

Corporation, a member of New Jersey Industrial Research, Inc.,
based in Clifton, New Jersey. Founded in 1980, NJIRC is a
leading science and technology research company focused on
identifying and exploiting cost-effective solutions for
technological problems in existing industries, as well as
developing new products and technologies. NJIRC has performed
research ranging from chemical analysis and waste reduction to
NJIRC was founded by long-time engineer and research
scientist Mohammad Hamzeh in 1990. The company is built on
Hamzeh’s conviction that bringing together multiple branches
of science makes it possible to generate innovations that could
not be created through any single discipline.
In building his company, Hamzeh discovered that many of the
professionals he hired lacked a detailed understanding of practical
scientific and engineering research. In 1998, he founded
ScienceProject.com to help bring this understanding to young
people around the world. In nine years, ScienceProject.com has
grown into one of the Internet’s largest and most respected
science education resources.
NJIRC’s extensive research experience gives
ScienceProject.com unique insight into the needs of working
industrial scientists, engineers, and researchers: insight that
informs and improves each of our projects.
