Psychology experiments and science fair projects

Hands-on psychology projects covering memory, attention, perception and how people behave in simple tests. Each one lists the exact materials, the time and cost involved, the variables to control and a data table you can fill in — so it works as a class activity or as a full science fair entry.

Choosing a psychology project

Psychology projects need willing volunteers and fairness: give everyone the same instructions, the same time and the same test order. Keep tests fun and harmless, and thank your participants.

What every project includes

A research question and hypothesis, an independent and dependent variable, the variables you hold constant, a materials list with costs, numbered steps, safety guidance and a reproducibility score based on how completely the method is documented.
