Even a simple machine will do the job. If you build a lever, pulley, inclined plane, wheel and axle, and wedge and make a working machine out of the combination it will be a fantastic science fair project. It will be simple to make as each of these does not take much effort.<\/p>\n<p>It will also have the advantage of using multiple parts of simple machines to make a complex machine. Imagine the old Tom and Jerry cartoons where the mouse trap is so complicated looking. It is essentially a series of simple machines being used together for one single objective, that of a mouse trap. Of course its a different matter that the traps always end up back firing when clever little Jerry is involved.<\/p>\n<p>Now think of a simple task that you would like performed. Decide how many steps it will take to perform the task. Now split up each step into a simple machine that you would like to do the action. Put it all together and attach the simple machines to each other so that there is a domino type of effect and viola you have a killer<a href=\"http:\/\/hubpages.com\/hub\/Science-Fair-Experiments-that-get-good-grades--Experiment-14---Static-electricity\"> science fair project<\/a> all set to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your science project does not have to be complicated to be good.
