like okay. cut the top off of 2 1 liters soda bottles and tape em so one is on top of the other but before you do that get like some dirt and some live plants to put at the top and put a little 20 cent goldfish in there with water. The plants will live off of like the bacteria in the dirt or something and the fish will eat the plant, and there is like a whole cycle thing. Hard to explain. I'll try lookin up the project on the net for u.

Try something with how the Nitrogen cycle works in a tank, should be pretty easy with all the info out there and your knowledge of fish. Then get a samll tank, 2.5 or something and take pics of it through each stage of the nitro cycle explaing each step. Then take your tank to the fair with a small fishy or two in it. maybe some small plants and add how they effect the overall state of the aquaria.

Hmmm I might try that but all of a sudden my science teacher is saying that we need topics by friday so i might do something with erosion and do something with fish next year so i wont be rushed (i make a lot of mistakes whenever i try to cram stuff in)
