  3. Timeline of Events

  4. TOPIC IDEAS • Life Science – Animal, Plant & Human Body • Will frozen seeds sprout? • How do fingerprints differ? • Do all people have the same normal body temperature? • Physical Science – Matter, Structure, Light, Sound, Magnetism • Does sound travel better through solid, liquid or gas? • How does the design of a paper airplane affect flight? • Earth & Space – Weather, Geology • Does the moon rise every night at the same time and in the same location? • From which direction does the wind blow most frequently? • Behavioral Science – Consumer Science, Animal/Human Behavior • What brand of popcorn pops the fastest? • Does noise effect how well you can memorize things? • Do boys like math more than girls?

  5. QUESTION APPLICATION RESEARCH I wonder what kind of paper would make a paper airplane fly the farthest? -different weights of paper -different folding methods Now that I understand how different materials fly through the air, I should be able to pick out the perfect kite! HYPOTHESIS TOPIC paper airplanes CONCLUSIONS I think that tissue paper will work the best BECAUSE it is the lightest of all paper and gravity won’t pull it down too fast. -Printer paper worked the best because…. -My hypothesis was NOT correct because…. DATA EXPERIMENT -gatherresults from experiment - Create a bar chart showing each paper type and the distance it traveled. -gather different types of paper, pencil, scientific journal, tape measure - write your procedure - test at least 5 times

  6. Option 1Science experiment AND display model • A display board which displays the scientific method. • Science experiment • Must meet safety standards.

  7. Option 2 – Display Board • Contains all the components of the scientific method. • Pictures of the experiment throughout the process. • Everything must be attached to the board

  8. How can I help my child begin? • There is a list of possible topics in the Science Fair planning guide. • Explore the Internet! • Go to the library and research areas of interest. • Partner with your child and brainstorm. • Once your child has an idea, submit a proposal.
