Ideas for a science project

[LolaMyLove]

Hello Everyone,

I need suggestions, my 1st grader wants to enter the science fair at her school this year. We were thinking something tortoise based of course.
So far the only thing I can come up with is Do Tortoises See Color. I need something I can do in less then 2 weeks with a 6yr old. Any suggestions?

Do Torts Move Faster When You Feed Them First? Then feed one tort and mark him/her with a little piece of painters tape. Then make a circle (with tape on the floor) and a mark in the center, place both torts in the middle and RACE!! The first one to pass the outter circle wins. Its pretty simple and fun!

That's a cute idea. My male will win fed or not, he's a runner!

I like this idea and may have to try it with my kiddos . I like the color idea.

My daughters best friend has a box turtle so we are thinking of teaming up and doing some Tortoise/Turtle comparisons maybe. With food, speed, habitat etc. So may possibilities but I want to make sure its still fun for the kids.
