One good idea would be to grow mold. Put a piece of bread in a jar and watch the mold grow and multiply right before your eyes. Should be simple. Even for a 5 year old. Another good idea would be to make a replica of a volcano and have it "erupt" with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.

Begin with a hypothesis that can be tested. For instance, plants need water and sunlight. Test this by setting up an experiment. Place one plant in the sun and give it water.

A good project is a project the student can understand well enough to take simple measurements and interpret them. For instance, "which brand of paper towel works best? " Have the student measure water, dump it on a counter, and then count how many paper towels it takes to clean up.

A volcano is a classic project. You can grow sugar crystals in a glass. Germinate a seed/bean on the inner inside of a clear plastic cup for viewing.
