In 8th grade my school did a science fair. My friend had his mom do his entire project. The local newspaper thought it was great so they had an article about it in the paper. My friend bragged about it for weeks. We aren't friends anymore.

I only did science fair in elementary school and I HATED it. It was so stupid and unnecessarily stressful. It literally made me cry.

In my school (Arg, by the way, so our traditions are different) we did science fairs every year until secondary school. I strongly remember one (I was an older teen, by the way) where I was assigned to take care of a colony of Bombyx mori, and while my mom hated them, I just loved to caress their backs (they use a silk thread to make their cacoons, so their bodies have the texture of silk). During the fair we had all the hatched cacoons on display (the cacoons turn yellow when exposed to oxigen) and middle scoolers thought they were cheese puffs. Those were fun times.

1:13 “Apprently, it’s a very American thing, Right guys?” *british agreeing intensifies*

I did a science project on underwater fireworks, I was popular for a long time

for my 3rd grade science fair i put hard boiled eggs in the three different liquids. Fruit Punch Gatorade, white vinegar, and coffee. the experiment was kinda like what would happen if you put your teeth in those liquids (since egg shells are supposed to resemble your teeth) and how they would stain. the gatorade made the egg pink, coffee a light brown, and white vinegar made all of the egg shell nutrients vaporize and made the shell like puddy. i ended up in third place btw. my dad helped me.

My school didn’t do the science fair but we had to do a wax museum. We had to choose a random historical person to research, make a notecard and remember it for presentations(with only important information), make posters, and then on the day of presenting we have to stand still until someone came up to us and we would present our information. We also had to dress up like the person we were researching about.

You should have called your battery science fair project “A HEATED discussion on batteries”

I come back to this video every once in a while just go hear that scream

I seriously keep coming back to this video because of the beginning.

science fair ideas: probiotics vs antibiotics? how does the size of weals on a small toy car affect it's speed? if you launch a die at the same angle with the same force and starting on the same side each time, will it example: every time you launch on 5, 3 comes up? this one's my favorate that I would have done: do sounds sound louder if you play multiple at once, or if it lasts for longer, or if it's a a different pitch, or if it changes instead of staying one monotone sound? You'd have to pick just one of those variables though

1:17 GRIAN!!!!!!!! OMG IM FREAKING OUT!!!! HOW DID I MISS THIS THE FIRST FEW TIMES I WATCHED THIS!!!!!!

Our teacher showed this to us 😂

“Yes” “Yep” “Absolutely” “Mm hmm” “This is too much power for one person” -James

yo i just gotta say thanks so much for this vid because for the past 2 years we had to do the science fair and my teachers sucked ass at explaining it but when i saw this video you explained it so well on how to put certain things together and how to format it

My science fair project was seeing what food earthworms would eat the fastest. I called it “Operation Earthworm.”

"Science Fair...*inhales* AAAAHHHHHH" "WHAAAAAA--" James Sept 27, 2016

Once my dad slacked off for the science fair, and at the last minute so he wrote "is the growth of moss affected by music?" He bought moss from home depot and cut one shorter XD

6:58 I love Cosmos, saw 2014 A Spacetime Odyssey and 2020 Possible Worlds. That episode was “Hiding in the Light” I love Science, I did fantastic in 8th grade Science which was mostly Astronomy, Meteorology, and Geology, my some of my favorite science subjects. 9th grade was Biology and 10th grade was Chemistry and I did decent. 11th grade was Physics, I loved the class but the math killed me.

I LOVED the science fair. And we also did a roller coaster project in 6th grade where we had to build a rollercoaster out of paper and popsicle sticks and other crap and we had to add in certain elements like 3 hills and a loop and had to figure out how and why a marble could do the full coaster.

i left this comment a year ago and i don’t ship them anymore yall my b😛 but i feel like people shouldn’t force a ship on people who have stated that they aren’t together or planning to be it makes things awkward

My science fair almost killed me. Literally. I was in 3rd grade and I was working on my project one night when I realized that it was getting hard for me to breathe. I was rushed to the hospital and apparently almost died. Apparently, I’m allergic to the Rubber Elmer’s Glue that we were required to use for the poster board, and so yeah. I hate science fairs too James. You’re not alone.

Watching this seven years later your style has improved so much since this. Props to your hard work on it!

Her: my school didn’t do the science fair The odd ones out: WAAAAAAAAA?!?!?!?

hey guys do you think James deserves more subs? Yeah Yup Absolutely mmm hm

"Science fair...*inhale*.........................AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Honestly same 😂😂

I think I did the t once. back in Vietnam even. out school decided to be fancy and copy the science fair from the US school. my topic was: do time really fly faster when you enjoying yourself. I use a stop watch and a normal clock to measure the amount of time flow when I play video game, watch movie, or reading comic books. result is that they are all the same…obviously. i just use that as an excuse to play video game reading comicbook and watch movies

We had to do a science fair every single year and all the teachers came around when we where working to make sure we were where “reaching our full potential”

0:03 This reminds me of this one specific video of yours... *"ThAt'S nOt HoW yOu... PLAAAAAAAAAAAY!!"*

Jaiden: I didn’t have to do the science fair James: *Visable Confusion*

i didn’t do the science fair

I liked it.

James's most hated people: 5. His college roomate (in the fast food employee shirt). 4. Speech Impediment teacher. 3. The "on the side" customer. 2. His 1st grade teacher. 1. The science fair conclusion.

that one awkward moment you have to tell your parents it's due tomorrow

From 3rd grade to 7th grade we had to do the science fair (I would have voted I didn’t enjoy it if I knew ur twitter) and we had a list and we needed to pick a topic and we couldn’t pick the same topic all the time because in our homework folder (idk if anyone reading had those) and whenever the teacher asked to see our list we gave it to her/him and then cross out the ones we did. I did “how does coding work” for 3rd grade “100 cups tower” for 4th “robotic arm” for 5th “how much longer does a double A battery last then a triple A” for 6th and “make a homemade fan” for 7th

I only did the science fair once in 6th grade. My project was on which brand of laundry detergent did a better job, tide or gain. I just took a bunch of white shirts, rubbed them in dirt and then washed and compared them. I forgot the answer but the only part I actually liked was decorating and designing my board with blue, orange, green, and yellow marker. The other stuff was annoying and tedious.

5:44 “Oh and by the way, the teachers told us to use a creative title.” *Batteries are dumb*

My school just finished doing science fair and I'm so glad. It was horrible i had to stay up so late just to get my mediocre research and stuff on a mediocre poster.

I tried the science fair not too long ago and it sucked! The teacher would give every student a crappy grade for the smallest mistake. The average grade that our class got for the science fair was a C+, even the student did the most intricate project! It honestly makes me glad that it’s only required for one year at our school.

I went to Florida ( because my stepdad is in the military) and we did a presentation on women and stuff and I LOVED it. It was fun to design my thing but it was only in one class room ( in Florida there was to class room attached ) so only the kids in my class could see it but it was fun ( I did the black women that was the first black female to fly a plane)

3:29 It's high noon somewhere in the world...

I did it from like, 3rd to 8th grade. And from kinder to 3rd we had the "invention convention" where you had to build something. I litteraly put a dog bed in a big plastic container and was like "BOOM DOGGY CARSEAT" and I won cause I had pictures of my cute mini labradoodle all over my board. Looking back on that as an almost 11th grader I just think "TAKE THAT JOSEPH, SCREW YOU AND YOUR AMAZING RAMP FOR THE DISABLED YOU SPENT HOURS BUILDING" Edit: Woah 50 likes. Most likes I've ever gotten damn. Thanks y'all!!

For us we did it in 1st and 2nd grade and you got to choose if you wanted to do it you weren’t required

I can relate to James a lot since I am in a school in dubai and we had to do three big events first was the science fair second the bodyolgy fair and third an exhibition. So I basically went through the same thing James did but 3 time a year. And it feels horrible and you have to work in groups of three for 8 weeks each.

What time is it? It's high no- Where did everyone go?

one science fair, i had a question like “do lemons work as batteries” or something like that and i didn’t do ANYTHING so on the day i had to turn it in, i quickly changed it to “what eraser works best” and my bestfriend threw me a bunch of different erasers...i ended up passing don’t know how tho

in canada science fair has has a major difference, that being leg pain because you go to your gymnasium (you do not present in front of the class) and stand there all day as students come see your exposition and ask you questions about things they found unclear all. It is an absolute hell if you do not get a bench as i never got one and had to sit through the leg pain all day.

I had one, but it was like you said unenjoyable. I was just waiting, staring at others because people didn't come to mine

In 5th grade my science fair project was testing different helmets. I got a plastic dollar store helmet, a bike cap, a control with no helmet, and a construction hardhat. I then proceeded to put them on watermelons and through them off a ladder. For that I won best methodology, which means the judges enjoy violent melon extermination too.

James: So I asked a friend....... Everyone: JAIDEN

In my school we have design and he makes us do reflections. the projects we did was making food bars, building stuff with marshmellows, hometown stickers and pixel art with sticky notes.

We didn’t have a science fair per say, we had this thing called the invention convention. It’s in 5th grade. Instead of science projects we had to make some sort of invention, present it to the rest of the 5th grade classes, and 2 kids from the grade are selected to present it at a state wide invention convention. I was a super arts and crafts kinda kid (still am tbh) I was in a massive duct tape phase at this point so I asked my dad to help me make this thing called the draft n craft which was basically a lap desk with storage underneath to hold supplies. It was honestly pretty creative and useful seeing as it was thought up in 2 seconds by a 10 year old. I was one of the 2 kids selected that year and got to go to UCONN to present it statewide. It was a pretty cool experience. Didn’t even come close to winning obviously because it’s not THAT creative of an idea but still.

So, the person I was put next to in the gym had an expirement that was LITERALLY JUST DIET COKE AND MENTOS and he ended in the yearbook and got lots of attention... and when I tried to show “how do certain substances affect ice melting” they would say “oh uh yeah cool”

James: *Breathes* The boys: "Mhm yeah absolutely."

At my school, we do a reading fair. where you have to read a book and make a board about it, I read a book and stayed up almost half the night me and my family did at least because it's hard to use like hot glue for a kid and come up with the story and the plot and all the stuff. And we barely made it, it's hard. all that it teaches us is to read and procrastinate until the last second. Good life lessons school!

In 4th grade our school did a science fair. It was optional; we got about 50 students (out of 700) to participate. You got to choose what topic you did ( I did 'what surfaces produce the most mould?'). I ended up winning 2nd place so it was pretty good. I then learnt about 50% of the votes were the teachers that liked me, and 25% were my friends (like as in- I have a good work ethic or smthng- lol) I'm Australian

For my science fair project, My question was “which popcorn brand pops the fastest?” I made the board with a ton of tape and had a huge pocket of popcorn

The 2K dislikes are science teachers

I bet James got points for creativity

“science fair..” **deep breath** “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH”

My sisters were told by their school that they had to do a science fair project that was completely unique. Like, if they googled it, and someone had already done it before, then they weren't allowed to do it. What an unrealistic expectation.

I love ur vids James!

My schools only did the science fair from 2nd-5th grade, and we had to do similar things but, we had I think two weeks to do it. But we only presented it to the school by setting them up in the cafeteria and everyone did a walk through before the judges came through. But the main difference I think is we had to write EVERYTHING out on the poster board and you only got 1 so if you messed up you were screwed.

Jayden: oh I didn’t Do the science fair James: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"Hey guys, do you think you should wear your seatbelts?" "Yeah" "Yep" "Absolutely" "Hm-hm" "I have cancer"

i love your videos thank you so much!

hey, hello, soo I've watched this video so many times( over so many years) and I've shared it with sooo many (probably too many) children/kids/familiars in my family; and at this point YOU WERE THE LUCKY ONE, to have a science fair, that is *coughs* it encourages and I wish they'd bring back for kids like my nephew …..who cant vinegar and baking soda enough

James J- Just A-Another M-man E-Eating S-Sooubway with a side of sprinkles

I just noticed that grian is friends w/ James.

I had the option to do a science fair. As far as I can remember it only happened once, at my K-8th school. I did it with a friend, I now cringe on the project. It wasn’t graded, it was just to do random stuff

We do a science fair at my school but we get months to prepare which allows the teacher to make it more challenging, also if you do it with a partner they judge things more because you had help. Anyways, most people, including me, end up doing it last minute, alone, and everyone ends up getting the same mark with a few people getting better or worse and most of us passed which was good. If you read all of this, thanks, i ramble too much sometimes.

7:38 Did he legit just put Jaiden+James fanart on there... You ok bro?

I only did the science fair one year and I got a bad grade because the teacher didn't like the colors I used (Pink and Green). She literally told this to my face " Those colors make me want to throw up." She did not even look at my research!!! SMH 😒

4:30 hahahah so funny when he said ‘’ I learned NOTHING!”

This is a few years late, but my middle school had a year long project resulting in a final science night and class presentation. When it came time to choose my topic, I chose this battery experiment. It resulted, like yours, in no difference in battery life. I’d be happy to send you the paper if you’d like to see it.

7:42 HE SHOWED THE JAMES x JAIDAN FANART OMG

I only had to do one science fair. My question was, "does size and height contribute to meteor impacts?" Which I tested by dropping balls of varying sizes into a bucket of flour and measuring the crater size. The answer was a resounding........ yes

I have done it multiple times, and it was/is AWEFUL! My friend, did one on snails, and I forget what the thing was, but her name, was AWESOME! It was "ES-CAR-GOOOOO!!!" because it was something about her raising them.

My school (in Latin America), did the science fairand I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Omg I was o in love with tye science fair and I still am. Every year I search for different project ideas MONTHS befofe it is. Sadly, this year's going to be my last science fair 🥲.

I’m in America and I still haven’t done one science fair yet.

School: what are your thoughts on a science fair? James: No

At my school we don't do the science fair, but if you are a GTA student which stands for gifted and talented. You have to do a project in the 4th and 5th grade and if you were in the and if you were a GTA student. You had to do it but if you were a regular student you could choose to do it. I knew people who did once about space. I did mine about Chinese dragons. The funny thing was no one else. Really understood how the project worked. Like there were people who had a big poster board and then just a book of their research and that was it. And there were a bunch of people who did Google slides and all those people got in like third and second and first because they made a Google slide which will just take in 5 more minutes

Love this vid my 5th grade teacher should this to our class for a Science fair and I thought it was the funniest KZfaq vid ever. I'm doing another one now and i came back to this vid for help.

Me and my partner were working on our project, and this random lady walks in, goes "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG" and walked away. We still won.

Me at the start: is that Jaiden? More in the video: GRIAN

1:01 i like watching "these" to (especially cosmos)

In 7th grade we did this thing called the learning fair where it’s like this but you can do it on absolutely anything it doesn’t even have to be science related I did mine on Tim burton and loved it

You know why I don’t like science projects? BECAUSE I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO SHOW THE PROJECT FOR NO REASON

My science fair is tomorrow.....

In 8th grade, we were supposed to have a science fair (it was 2 months before covid went haywire), it was only for the students they selected. The best entries were going to be submitted to the Google Science Fair, I was really excited, I was going somehow launch a rocket with using the concept of maglev(crazy idea, I know, but what if you attached 2 really strong electromagnets on the ground & rocket, they could repel so much to probably maybe shoot it up just fast enough to reach the escape velocity of earth?), unfortunately the fair was cancelled a week later😞

My school (idk if it's only in my hometown, or in the whole country) always will have a science fair in a way, everything James said here will be done every other day, or maybe just in the last semester idk

James: What time of day is hottest? Mcree: IT'S HIGH NOON

James: Science Fair sucks Mark Rober has entered the chat

I actually won the science fair when I was in kindergarten. My project was called "Animals and People Food." Basically we put a bunch of random snacks outside and monitored them over the course of 3 days, seeing which ones the animals ate the most and least of. I think the only reason it won was because it wasn't one of those boring plant ones.

I’m going to a international school in Italy, and we use to do every year the science fair

_This comment section_ 20% Grian in the video 40% James and Jaiden fan art 30% Science fair stuff 5% Other stuff 5% James’ scream at the beginning

0:04 I can’t stop replaying it lol

We had science fair in elementary school but we had to just come up with something we can do research on. One year I did a presentation on bees and I drew the different bees (worker, drone, queen) labeled the parts and presented the hierarchy, communications, etc. I got a blue ribbon and an A

I remember my parents putting batteries in the fridge when I was a kid so I think this thought was more common than you realize James.

Me: “I guess i’ll go to bed now” Spider in the hallway: 1:53
