Tips for Science Fair Projects
Every year students in just about any grade level, at any school are asked to complete a science fair project. Some look forward to it. Some dread it. And others just don't know where to start. ArtSkills is here to help with some simple steps to follow for science fair success.
PICK A SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT TOPIC
Your first and most important step is selecting a science fair project topic. Science is all around us so you have a lot of options before you. Think of something that is interesting to you, which will make it more fun along the way. To get you started with some ideas check out our list of 100 Project Ideas.
DO YOUR RESEARCH
After you select your science fair topic, start researching! Learn as much as you can about your topic. The internet is a great way to research any science topic. Your local library is also a great reference resource, especially when looking for detailed information.
PLAN YOUR STEPS
Once you have your research together, it's time to make a plan. Figure out some important information about your science fair experiment, for example: a hypothesis, what are your variables and the procedure you will use to test your hypothesis.
DO THE SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
It is now time to do your science fair experiment. Be sure you have all of your necessary materials ready and a work station where you can complete the experiment. The most important part of your experiment is keeping notes. Take pictures or make sketches of your observations to make things clear. Your photos and sketches will also be a great addition to your science fair display board that you will be presenting to the judges.
ANALYZE YOUR DATA
Once you finish conducting your science experiment it is time to analyze your data and find out what happened. Did you prove or disprove your hypothesis? Write a complete report telling exactly what you did, how you did it, and what you discovered. Remember, it's okay if your hypothesis was incorrect as long as you have the data to support it.
MAKE YOUR SCIENCE FAIR DISPLAY BOARD
Your experiment is complete, your data is analyzed and now it's time to work on the display board. Your display is a very important part of your science fair project because it's your tool to connect with the judges and your audience and let them know exactly what you did and how hard you worked. The display must be neat and well organized. Include your hypothesis, your procedure, your results, your conclusion, any graphs and charts you made to analyze your data, and pictures or drawings of your experiment and observations.

In most cases, you will also have to make a presentation to the science fair judges. Be sure to be prepared and know what you are going to say. Try to anticipate what questions you may be asked about your experiment and how you will answer them. Practicing your presentation is imperative to winning any science fair.
