An outstanding science fair project is neat and well organized.
The display clearly shows the: Title/Abstract Hypothesis Materials Procedure Results/Log Book Conclusion/Bibliography Pictures, Charts or Graphs
Special attention is given to spelling and grammar.
Tri-folds available in the lobby!
The Scientific Method
After you think of an interesting topic, gather information (research) about the topic.
Form a hypothesis that describes what you think will happen.
Test your hypothesis (experiment) to find out if your idea is true or not.
Collect and analyze the data collected from your experiment.
Share your results in your science fair exhibit.
Keeping a Log BookA Science Fair Must Do!
One of your most valuable pieces of work resulting from your science fair project will be your log book or journal.
This should be a day by day account of your work. Your log book will give you an accurate record of the things you do and learn each day. It will also give the judges a very in-depth look into the time, thought and effort you put into your science fair project.
Be sure to include dates, observations and your thoughts in each entry.
Writing My Abstract
Your abstract is a summary of the work you did while investigating your topic. It should have no more than 250 words and be divided into three paragraphs.
Paragraph One will describe what you were investigating.
Paragraph Two will tell how you did your investigation.
Paragraph Three will tell what you learned by doing your investigation.
Have Fun
