BEGINNING YOUR PROJECT…..
1. Look for project ideas and share them with your teacher.
2. Projects that contain hazardous chemicals, involve humans or animals with backbones may not be used.
3. Write a hypothesis that can be tested and measured in an experiment.
4. Hypothesis must be written as “If….then…..because” statement.
5. There must be only one variable you change in the project – that’s the independent variable.
6. Once your teacher approves your idea, find background information and research on your topic.
7. You need five different sources for your bibliography.
8. A completed science fair project will include:
I. A data log (composition notebook)
II. A research plan
III. A research packet
IV. An abstract
