Remember #1: The important thing in a science project is you thinking your way through a project.

You can make things to use in your project, like a seismograph, but the thing you make must be used to help solve your science problem.

Just making the seismograph is not enough -- what you are trying to answer by using it is the important thing.

Remember #2: Be careful about doing the "can I make a _____" kind of project.

Those are usually not really experimental science projects. If you are asking: "can I make a better _______ by changing____________", then you have a project.
