math and science fair help!

I need a topic (for math) for the math and science fair! I dont know what subject to do. The teacher said , " You're kids and you're suppose to be *creative* . The more creative you are, the more points you get for your indivdual grade. We'll work in teams..(blah blah blah blah blah blah)"
I was like "wtf" and so you get the poit. I'm in 7th grade O_O so yea and is there anything *creative* math subjects you can think about? I need to start researching quick .
Also, we didnt pick groups yet and hes choosing for us. Our hw assignement was to think of 3 *creative* math fair projects we can do. So any suggestions ?

Edit:Math and Science fair projects in 3 week and hw due tmmr
2nd Edit: 7th graders do amth while 6th and 8th graders do science -.-

Time traveling.

delta t' =time for the traveler traveling at v speed
delta t = time for the observer
c = speed of light in vacuum

That equation is awesome. Especially if you try to go faster than light.

[quote=RobCorso]logarithms to find gcfs and lcms. ill start you off: gcm(x,y)=((x-y)((y-(x-y)))... until your result is 0. euclids algorithm i believe. also (gcf(x,y))(lcm(x,y))=xy
also, at p=np, you can't reverse a modular equation, therefore its proven false. Also, currently we can't factor as quickly as we can multiply.[/quote]

But nice try.

Math will only be as interesting as you want it to be. You should just choose some equations and explain why they work... basically derive them and the teacher will say oh good job while the rest of the class says wtf

@ScienceFreak:
I wouldn't destroy property. If it weren't for me, there we be no property. It would have already been stolen by thiefs and criminals.

O_O
@ScienceFreak Uhmm i dunno i nvr though about my futre ^_^
@TheGemChild : Well you are right, i think its okay but it never get me as excited as doing science experiemnts.
@iSellthing2you: Volcano belongs in science i though or i can do how many times does a volcano blow on earth each day O_O
@Gaga: I'mn strong in math but its not always interesting
