What is a
Science Fair Project?
 It is an investigation that is designed to
 solve a problem or answer a question.

 It is a 'science' fair project because you
 use a procedure called the scientific
 method to answer the question.

 The 'fair' part takes place when everyone
 who has done a project gathers together
 to showcase their work.
The Scientific Method
Reporting Results:
   Final Report: A combination of all of the information you
    have gathered, all of your planning, the data you
    collected, and the analysis of your results. This will be
    put together like a book.


   Display Board: An eye-catching display summarizing
    everything in your final report; allowing your audience to
    easily gain a general understanding of your project.
Final Report:
   Title page
   Abstract: An abbreviated version of your final
    report.
   Table of contents
   Question, variables, and hypothesis
   Background research: The research paper you
    wrote before you started your experiment.
   Materials list
   Experimental procedure: Including logs of your
    process, photos, etc.
Final Report Continued:
Data and Results: Your observations, data table and graph(s)
  will be included here.
Conclusion: An analysis of your data as it relates to your
  hypothesis. Perhaps you include information about further
  steps you could take in your experiment in the future.
Acknowledgments: This is your opportunity to thank anyone
  who helped you with your science fair project: someone in
  your family, a friend, a business, etc.
Bibliography: Acknowledging the origin of any research /
  information you used from outside sources.
Final Report Continued:
• Write the abstract section last, even though it will be one
  of the first sections of your final report.

• Your final report will be several pages long, but don't be
  overwhelmed! Most of the sections are made up of
  information that you have already written. Gather up the
  information for each section and type it in a word
  processor if you haven't already.
Display Board:




You will use a standard, three-panel display board
     that unfolds to be about 91cm X 122cm.
Organize your information like a newspaper so that your
audience can quickly follow the thread of your experiment
by reading from top to bottom, then left to right.

                                 Include each step of your
                                 science fair project

                                 Use at least 24pt font for
                                 titles of each section and
                                 16pt font for text

                                 Project title easily read
                                 from across the room

                                 A picture's worth a
                                 thousand words!
Examples
Title
• Ideally the title of your project should be catchy; an
  "interest-grabber.” But it should also describe the project
  well enough that people reading your report can quickly
  figure out what you were studying.


• You will want to write your Title and Background sections
  AFTER you have come up with a good question to study.
Background or Purpose
The background section is where you include
 information that you already know about your
 subject and you tell your audience why you
 chose the project you did.

What were you hoping to find out from the
 project?
The Question
            (Or Selecting Your Subject)

Probably the most difficult part of a science fair
project is coming up with a good subject to research.
      Think about WHAT INTERESTS you.
      Think of a TESTABLE QUESTION
       about the subject.
Hypothesis
• As soon as you come up with a testable
  question, you will probably instantly have a
  hypothesis (prediction) about what the results will
  be from your testing. (Isn't the human brain an
  amazing thing?!) It's a good idea to write this down
  before starting, because it may change as you go
  about your experiment.
Materials

This section should include a list of everything that was
necessary to conduct your experiment.


Did you need to develop a survey?...Or make a chart? Did
you use a camera to document and analyze your results?
Think through the process thoroughly!
Methods
   Explain the procedure thoroughly


   GET STARTED EARLY! You may run into
    complications or “surprises” and have you modify
    your project. The more time to work with, the better!


   Keep detailed records of EVERYthing that you do! A
    project log of each step you take (even the mess-
    ups, as well as pictures of the process, should be
    included in your final report and represented on your
    display board.
Results or Data
• Tell your reader the actual numbers (or other data)
  that you got as you were doing the experiment.


• This will probably be best represented in a
  chart/table or graph.


• But you do not tell your interpretation of the data -
  that's for the last section!
Conclusion

• Here, you finally get to tell your readers what you
  found out from the experiment, or how you interpret
  your data.


• This section should be focused on what you
  learned about your original question and
  hypothesis.
