Your involvement in your child’s project can turn a potentially stressful experience into an exciting learning adventure. But how do you help without taking over, encourage without pushing and allow for stumbling without abandoning your child? The following guidance will help both you and your child to explore the joy that comes from scientific discovery, without the pressure of winning a competition. Why Hold a Science Fair? Science fair projects teach children how to structure an experiment, gather material, collect data and present it in an organized form. It gives them an opportunity to study subjects such as sports, music, art, rocketry or computers, and to discover that science exists in every niche of the universe. ”Science fairs provide a learning/teaching experience for students," says Margaret Hamill, a retired teacher from New Era, Mich. "A lot of learning and togetherness takes place when children and adults work together."

Fun Science Fair Projects! Janice VanCleave The title of this article is viewed by some people as a contradiction of terms. Too often science fair projects are dreaded by teachers, librarians, and parents, as well as by the students. This is an unfortunate situation usually resulting from a lack of instructional materials to allow students, with a minimum of assistance depending on their age, to develop the project themselves. Science is a search for answers. Science projects are good ways to learn more about science as students search for answers to specific problems. Instructional materials are needed to give guidance and provide ideas, but students must do their part in the search by planning experiments, finding and recording information related to the problem, and organizing the collected data to find an answer. Presenting the project at a science fair can be a rewarding experience if the exhibit has been properly prepared. Trying to assemble a project overnight, however, only results in frustration and a poor grade. The student is also cheated out of the fun of being a science detective. Solving a scientific mystery, like solving a detective mystery, requires planning and the careful collecting of data. Students should be encouraged to start their projects with curiosity and a desire to learn something new. The following sections provide suggestions of how students can get started on this scientific quest. I divide a sample project into its parts and provide a format that can be used to guide students through other projects, regardless of the topic.

By Mary Lightbody Columbus Public Schools Science Fair Benefits Science Fair time can be an exciting period of days, weeks, or even months in which students make new discoveries about the world around them, and about themselves. Any science teacher making an assignment for students to participate in Science Fair has a schedule for the project, and ideas about what kinds of projects students should do. For example an elementary school student might do a demonstration or a model, a middle school students might do a research project or a simple experiment. High school students are expected to do a more complex experiment in an area of scientific inquiry which is of special interest to them. At every level the student proposes a topic, develops an understanding about the topic, explores it a bit further, and reports his or her findings to an audience. Students attempt to investigate a problem, perhaps even solving it in an innovative way, and teach themselves science through their discoveries. Projects may be in any area of science, might involve dis Science fair investigations require time management skills. Students must budget their time, space out the work in manageable chunks, keep to a schedule, and complete their experiment early enough to have ample time for making conclusions and retesting results if necessary for confirmation and confidence.

Science Fair Projects Science Games Science Experiments ... Science Fair Projects Science fair projects and ideas for students pre-school thru 9th grade. Our science fair projects are designed to give students the guidelines they need to complete the science fair project yet still leave room for them to develop their own problem solving methods. The science fair project blueprints provided on this site are intended to help students plan and carry out experiments using the scientific method. They provide suggestions and tips, enabling students to solve problems and complete the science fair project themselves. Each science fair project blueprint is presented with sequential step-by-step guidelines which encourages the student to work in an organized and well planned manner. The purpose in most cases for creating a science fair project is to teach students how to solve problems on their own using the scientific method. For this reason, the instructions presented here do not specifically tell the student how to carry out the science fair project, but rather, provide tips to think about as they plan their own strategy, research, record data, and draw conclusions. Each science fair project blueprint includes information on the scientific method, lab reports, and creating displays. Younger students may wish to skip over these sections if they are merely wanting to create a simple project without having to understand the scientific method.

They teach simple horticultural concepts with vegetable crops. Project 1 - Tomato Seed Germination Rates Project 2 - Effects of Different Fertilizer Solutions on Tomato Seedling Growth and Development in a Hydroponic System Project 1. Title: Tomato Seed Germination Rates Materials Needed: Tomato seeds, thermometer, small plastic plates, paper towels, plastic wrap. Methods to Use: Prepare 9 germination plates by cutting paper towel circles to fit into the center of the plastic plates (or paper plates coated with plastic). Place 3 layers of paper towel circles into the middle of each plate and saturate the paper towel material with tap water (let excess water run off by tipping plate). Count out ten seeds and arrange them in a grid pattern on the wet paper towel material on each of the 9 plates. Cover the plates with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.
