  11. How do I get started? Keep a notebook so all of your findings stay together Take photos or collect anything that could sit on the table in front of the display board Create a display board Attend the science fair and teach your friends, family, and teachers what you learned!

  12. What Is a science fair project? A collection (rocks, shells, insects) A demonstration or model (how a potato battery works, solar system) Information Project (explain what a rainbow cloud is and when it exists) Experiment (what type of filling makes the softest pillow? Is your hair knotty or nice?) Create something (robot, a better football tee for kids)

  13. How can I find out about information on the topic I pick? • Library • Internet • Someone knowledgeable about your topic

  14. A tri-fold display that you will design to show off all of your findings and information about your project What is a display board?

  15. Who can I work with? • Individual– create your own project • Family – work on your project with siblings and parents (parents should not be doing most of the work) • Group – get together with 1 or 2 friends to create your project and design your display board (determine ways that the work is divided equally)

  16. Ask Question Steps in a science experiment Do Background Research Construct Hypothesis (What do YOU think is the answer?) Think! Try Again Test with an Experiment Analyze Results, Draw Conclusion Hypothesis is True Hypothesis is False or Partially True Report Results
