Science Fair

If you are given four weeks to complete your

science fair project then START NOW. Do not

tell yourself you have several weeks. Start now! -repeat after me - Start now!

You will be amazed the amount of email I receive

beginning "please help me with my school project

due to be handed in yesterday". That is dumb aswell as poor planning. Don't you think I pulled

that stunt when I was 14 years of age?


19/34

Select your topic

Review very carefully your assignment as provided by your lecturer,what are the requirements to be met?

Do you clearly understand each and every goal listed? If possiblereview this list each and every day for a few minutes over several days

to possibly gain a new perspective. You will be surprised how you canbegin to refine and improve your original ideas with this method.

Is it an elementary science fair project? or was it meant to be a simplequick science-fair-project-ideas not involving a lot of effort?. The

basic idea of any science fair project is to demonstrate to the teacher orjudges you know how to find the answer to a basic question. This isthe basis of all scientific enquiry or research.

Record all the information you have managed to gather about yourchosen topic from either text books, magazines or over the internet.Keep detailed notes of the sources of your information.


20/34

Be scientific in your approach

Clearly list the principal purpose of your science-fair-project-ideas - precisely what are you tryingto find out or establish? Be sure to list any

possible variables - these are things you might beable to change or vary so it will help you find yourfinal answer.

Clearly state your original hypothesis - this is yourbest your guess about what the answer will finallybe.

Decide and describe how you will measure andrecord your results.


21/34

Run a controlled experiment &

record your results Do the experiment as described above.

Maintain a clear record of everything in one

place, perhaps buy a small notebook of asuitable size for this purpose - be scientific.

Write down everything you can think of,

you will probably need it later.


22/34

Charts & graphs

What happened? Answer that question, then

put those results down in graphs and charts

wherever possible. You will be amazed howsometimes a totally unexpected picture or

pattern begins to emerge from either a graph

or chart.


23/34

Construct an exhibit or display

Obviously where possible the judges would like tosee a working model of your science-fair-project-ideas. It should be neat but functional, you are not

expected to produce a manufacturers' workingmodel because it most likely is a science projectfor a kid. But do remember that neatness reallydoes count!. If it looks right then it probably isright!

Make it fun, but be absolutely sure other peoplecan understand what you did. Above all show thatyou used the scientific method.


24/34

Write a short report

Tell your own story about your project and

in your own words - tell the teacher what

you did and exactly how you did it. Be sure to include a page that shows where

you gathered all your background

information.


25/34

Drawings, diagrams & schematics

Any decent presentation includes some pictorialpresentation to convey ideas. When you look atmy crystal set page you will see a schematic

diagram. Why? Because this is a pictorial plan onhow it is to be constructed - a bit like plans for ahouse.

Drawings, diagrams, charts and graphs really liftany science-fair-project-ideas presentation. Theywill certainly give your school project that"professional" look about it.


26/34

Presentation

Practice with your family acting as judges

while explaining your project to them.

Remember every lecturer, performer orentertainer, no matter how experienced,

must continuously practice their particular

craft - you are of course no different.
