  4. What is the Scientific Method? • Science Projects should follow this method: • State the Problem(Ask a Question) • Form a Hypothesis(Make a Guess) • Procedure (Experiment, Test) • Observation (Data, Results, Pictures, Graphs, Charts) • Form a Conclusion (What I Found Out)

  5. Selecting a Topic • Get project ideas from the Internet, books, magazines, newspapers. • Talk to your teacher, the science fair coordinator (Mrs. Parker), your family, your friends. • Choose a topic that you are interested in.

  6. Internet Resources • Discovery Channel School: Science Fair Central http://school.discoveryeducation.com/sciencefaircentral/ • All Science Fair Projects http://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/ • Easy-Science-Fair-Projects. net http://www.easy-science-fair-projects.net/elementary-science-fair-projects.html

  7. Topic Considerations • Remember, growing plants in the winter is difficult. • If you choose something that you have to watch over time, make sure there is enough time to complete the project. • At the elementary level, it is best to keep the project simple, but do a nice job in observing, measuring, and collecting data.

  8. How to Complete a Project? • Download the Mrs. Parker’s 10 steps to Completing a Science Fair Project for the simple explanation. • Download the Detailed Instructions for Completing a Science Fair Project if you would like more information. • Look at the sample projects.

  9. Requirements • A Journal • A Display Board • An Oral Presentation • 3 winning projects from each grade level (4th / 5th) may go on to the District Science Fair. *Projects must meet minimum requirements to go on to district level competition.
