There are several fun and educational experiments that have been featured in Answers magazine! These experiments can be performed at home, although adult supervision is suggested. They might be appropriate for a science fair experiment, depending on the requirements of the specific science fair with which your daughter is involved.

Here is a list:

• Creepy Crawly Plants

There are also books in the Answers in Genesis bookstore that provide fun and educational experiments for children (some are listed in the recommended resources below). I hope this helps you choose a science experiment!
