Science fairs provide an opportunity for students to explore scientific topics that interest them through hands-on experimentation and research. They allow students to test hypotheses using the scientific method, collect and analyze data, and present their findings. Students are encouraged to choose a topic related to observations they have made or a potential future career path. Successful science fair projects involve developing a hypothesis, performing experiments safely with the proper controls and variables, collecting results, drawing conclusions, and presenting findings through a display board, project report, and oral presentation to be evaluated by judges.

- 1. SCIENCE FAIRS" Compiled by: D. SIROHI
- 2. An excellent opportunity for you to explore the natural world around us A chance to test and practice your use of the scientific method A chance to ignite a passion for the study of science WHAT IS A SCIENCE FAIR?

- 6. Parts of a Project Project report Scientific methodology Display board Charts, graphs, diagrams creativity Oral presentation Questions from judges
- 7. Display Board Purpose Hypothesis Materials TitleBE CREATIVE Procedure Results Graphs and Charts Conclusion Future Directions Acknowledgements Project reportlog book experiment set-up or model
- 8. Project Report This report is to put in front of the display board. The report is much more detailed than the information on the board. Should be 5 pages + title page Theory and application focus Summarize the experiment Include a bibliography
- 9. Display Board Bright, colourful, 3-D, FUN!!!!! Should have all the necessary sections Charts, graphs, tables!!!! A catchy title What should it be made out of????? Cardboard Size quoted is maximum dimensions.

You will present your information several times to different judges Questions about scientific method Repeated trials Controls variables
- 11. Safety Rules for District Fair No chemicals at project station (only water) The best way to show experiment is to have pictures of the process No bacteria, animals, or plant materials Show pictures If you are using people in your study you must have signed consent forms from each participant prior to starting your study
