A science fair project is expected of ALL Science students. The Science Fair is an exciting event that encourages students to think like young scientists.

The project will be started and completed the second semester of school and be due March 15 or 16, 2012. A science fair project involves the use of the scientific method to answer a question or solve a problem.

The scientific method, like a recipe, has several steps. Each step must be completed before starting the next step.

These steps include: 1. A question or problem 2. Obtaining background information & research (and bibliography) 3. Construction of the hypothesis (a scientific prediction of what you think will happen) and identification of the variables 4. Experiment design (write the procedure steps and material list) 4. Test the hypothesis (the experiment!) 5. Analyze data and make conclusion 6. Complete the abstract (summary) and written report, and construct the display board 7. Submit and prepare for judging
