If your goal is to get an A+ on your project, win awards at the science fair, and learn many new things about science, then choose a topic that interests you. If you find after some work that your topic is not as interesting as you originally thought, if possible stop and select another one. […]

Science Fair Project: Energy
Hi, All of the links on this post are not working—I am in the process of correcting this problem. Janice Before you start your project, acknowledge that you are preparing an entry to a contest. Contests, whether they are associated with sports or academics have rules. Football players must follow the rules to score. Science […]
Engineering Projects
Engineering projects may be part of a science fair, but each has a different set of guidelines for solving problems or finding answers to questions. The process for science fair projects is called the Scientific Method. The process used to develop an engineering fair project is called the Engineering Method. These different methods stem from […]
Engineering Project Judging
Janice VanCleave’s Engineering for Every Kid: Easy Activities That Make Learning About Engineering Fun Ideas that can be developed into Engineering Projects. The following guidelines are set by the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). Note that these guidelines address judging of both science projects and engineering projects. This comparison gives you clues about […]
Science Fair Committees
Judging Committee This group invites and and notifies judges of date, time and location where they will work. Familiarizes judges with the judging criteria for the grade level they will be evaluating (a ratio of one judge per 20 projects is recommended, with three judges per project); provides judges materials, such as a clip board […]
Sound: Water Bottles
In the diagram, the open bottles are all the same, but there is a different amount of water in each. Tapping the bottles with a metal spoon produces a sound. Sound is a form of wave energy that moves outward from the vibrating bottles. Pitch is how high or low the sound is. Pitch is […]
Science Project Display
Project Display Your project display is a visual representation of all the work that you have done. It should consist of a backboard and anything else that supports your project, such as models, collections, exhibits or examples, photographs, surveys, and the like. Your display must tell the story of the project in such a way […]

Stethoscope
Homemade Stethoscope A stethoscope is an instrument used by physicians to listen to sound inside your body. You can made a homemade stethoscope using two funnels and a piece of garden hose as shown in the diagram. Jancie VanCleave’s Science Through the Ages
Project Data
Project data is all the information recorded from the start of your project to its finish. Experimental Data is the results of the project experiment. This data includes observations made during the testing. The two types of observations are: 1. Quantitative Observation is a description of the amount of something. Measuring tools, such as a […]
