	Do proteins digest faster in acid or alkaline environments ? When proteins are digested, they are eventually broken down into amino acids. This science fair project will analyze amino acid concentrations during protein decomposition in acid and alkaline buffer solutions using the ninhydrin colormetric method. 200 more science projects here!
	What works best to treat heartburn, home remedies or over-the-counter antacids? Almost everyone gets heartburn from time to time. Store shelves are full of antacids, but will home remedies work as well or better to neutralize stomach acid? This science fair project will attempt to find out. For upper elementary and high school students. 200 more science projects here!
	Can decalcified bones reabsorb calcium from solution? Acids leach calcium out of bone, making them soft and rubbery. Will soaking in a calcium solution make them hard again? This experiment will find out. A great science fair project for all grades. 200 more science projects here!
	Do enzymes aid in the removal of protein-based stains ? When protein-based stains are removed from fibers, they are broken down into free amino acids. This science fair project will analyze the amino acid concentration of washing solutions to determine how much protein is removed from stained cloth. 200 more projects here!
	Can you find out how much caffeine you consume when drinking tea? It's a jittery question. Learn all about caffeine and the chemistry of tea in this science fair project. 200 more projects here!
