Science Fair Ideas - High School Level Ideas Needed

Yes, I did some searching but couldn't find anything that really stood out to me. I'll try your search terms and see what I can find.In summary, the conversation revolved around the announcement of a school science fair for the physics final. The participants were having trouble coming up with suitable ideas for their project, with one suggesting a rail gun or coil gun but unsure of its appropriateness for school. Another suggested using the search term "high school science fair projects" to find more options.

Hey guys, our teacher just announced that for our physics final this year we will be participating in our first ever school science fair (ooohhh!)

Anyways, I've been searching for an hour or so and can't really come up with any decent ideas with myself. The project has to be "high school" level, so not too easy but also nothing really expensive or too complicated.

I had thought about trying to make a rail gun or coil gun, but I'm not sure if that would be completely appropriate for school.

If anyone has some suggestions please throw them out!
