Opportunities

What is Science Fair? Science Fair is a competition in

which your design your own investigation and share your results

You start by competing at the district level and have an opportunity to move on to the regional and state level

How do I get started? The first step is to submit three ideas to

your science teacher. We will be handing out forms in class for you to present your ideas with.

Remember your ideas need to by testable, and you should be able to run multiple trials with the experiment.

No product tests please (Ex: Which type of battery lasts the longest)

I would like to compete, but I don’t know what to do? Start with your interests These are the categories you can compete in:

Animal Science Behavioral and Social Science Biochemistry Cellular and Molecular Biology Chemistry Computer Science Earth Science Engineering: Materials/Bioengineering Engineering: Electrical/Mechanical Energy and Transportation Environmental Sciences Environmental Management Mathematical Science Medicine and Health Microbiology Physics and Astronomy Plant Science

Needing more inspiration? Visit the Exxon Mobile Website to see past project ideas. We can’t repeat their projects, but it might give you an idea.

Where will I work on the project? You can ask your science teacher or

Mrs. Lynch questions at any time.

Most of the actual experiment will be completed at home, so you can run and check trials when needed.

What are the project requirements? Research Plan

Research Paper (Yes a paper, but it isn’t that bad)

Project Experiment

Science Fair Board Display with results and the scientific method

Don’t be Scared to Compete!! We are here to help you with ideas,

paperwork and getting started on the research paper.

It is only ONE research paper! Remember there are field trips involved for participants that meet project requirements!!

We will help you fill out the appropriate paperwork for your project also.
