When I was younger I tested which diapers were more absorbent and did a better job than others. It was easy for me because I had relative who had recently given birth so I can a selection of diaper brands to test. I followed the scientific method and tested each diaper by placing a cup of water in it and having it sit, positioned in a cup, for three hours. Then I figured out how much water each diaper leaked, if any. Ta-da, I figured out which brand was worth the purchase.
There are a lot of science fair projects and topics you can go through with. Most of them are fairly simple an require very little money.
There are ideas like:
Which brand of popcorn seems to have most kernels popped when finished cooking? Simply purchase a few brands of popcorn and pop a few bags of each, pop them the exact same way for the exact same time, and count out how many un-popped kernels are left in each bag and see if a brand has more un-popped kernels left.

Just click which category sounds interesting and choose an experiment. It will then list which grades are appropriate for which experiment. It may take a little time to find a good experiment for you, but it is very interesting and helpful. Step-by-step instructions are also provided there.
Make sure to complete the experiment yourself and not just read the sites and write down what they say happened. It's better if you do it yourself in case someone asks you questions about the experiment. Your own personal experience while doing the experiment you choose will help you out a lot.
I hope you find what you're looking for. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)
