Why Science Fair?
I l t d t i th ti f i Involves students in the practices of science and engineering, requiring them to apply those skills to a topic of interest to them. Doing science is key to understanding science g y gand the world we live in.
OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESSSt d t h ti h h ld lik t Students choose a question he or she would like to answer
He or she targets library or Web research to gain background information needed to formulate a hypothesisbackground information needed to formulate a hypothesis and design an experimental procedure.
After writing a report to summarize this background After writing a report to summarize this background research, students perform the experiment.
Analyze their dataAnalyze their data Draw conclusions Communicate results to classmates and teachers Communicate results to classmates and teachers.
Step One Write Your Proposal September 8
Step Two Conduct Your Background Research (Six source cards and forms 1, 1A, 1B, and any dd l f d d ) d
Step A: October 8additional forms depending on project) and have log book checked (minimum of _3__ entries)
Step
