Here are two sites for Science Fair info and topic ideas.  Thanks for these references to Mr Turner at Wadsworth, and to UofC CTTAP Marisa Juntilla.

Science Fair Central
Here's one you're probably familiar with:

Twin Groves Middle School, Buffalo Grove
Probably less familiar, this school site has some general student-oriented Science Fair advice at:
http://www.twingroves.district96.k12.il.us/ScienceInternet/GetStarted.html
And specifically with a listing of topic ideas (text based so easier to visually peruse):

The winter semester began.  On the first day of class, professors tenured and tenure-track, graduate students and undergrads, lecturers and adjuncts, secretaries and custodians, slackers and homeless men all returned hopefully to their places on Midwestern's campus like an opera chorus filtering onstage, already singing, at the opening of the second act.  The stage set of the university was dressed with mounds of snow, a shifting scrim of falling flakes, and a low ceiling of luminous gray cloud.  The sidewalks leading to the four corners of the Quad had been indifferently plowed, and by midafternoon they were packed and polished to glassy ice by long files of booted feet feeding the slow-turning, clockwise maelstrom of class change.  The surface of the Quad itself was scraped more or less clean by the tread of boots and the friction of salt and sand.  Above the rotating wheel of parkas and scarves and woolen hats hung a frosty haze of human breath, like spray.
