How to create a Science Fair Project

Heya, it's Adventure Van with yet another blog post. I'm here to tell you how to make a repor- wait, I did that already. Well, what about something to create a report about? Haven't done that? Okay then, this will be about how to create a Science Fair Project. 

Well, the first thing you have to do is pick out a thing and write about it- it's more complicated then that? Actually, you need to find a topic, something you're INTERESTED in. Then, you have to narrow it down to a subject, something DOABLE. As much as doing a report in the growing patterns about 20 separate trees sounds cool, you're going to want a project you can finish in 1-2 months.

After doing that, you'll have created the question, which you'll be making your report on. You're also going to do some RESEARCH (that has a habit of showing up) about what you're reporting on. This is not your test, it's already done research and knowledge. Then, you'll have to create a HYPOTHESIS, which is what YOU expect to happen. Then you'll just test it and write down what happened, and done! Wait, I'm forgetting something. Whoops.

See, you kinda need to create a TEST, or a project, to, well, test your hypothesis. Here's some key things to remember doing a report:

• It's not to long or hard. Having it be either will put a drain on you, and you may not finish whatsoever.
• There's only ONE independent. A independent is something like sunlight, a human/pet's willingness to help, and other things you can't control.
• You have a steady control. A control is something like a flower with no fertilizer whatsoever in a fertilizer experiment. It's something to show what would happen with nothing.

And that's that! You should have a nice project to write about. Except, of course, you still have to write about it.

Well, writing isn't as fun as doing, but it's great to show off your project. Have another list to show you what I mean.

• Title Page, for your name, the project's name, and any other important itemry.
• For a stapled project, a Table of Contents might come in handy.
• An Abstract is nice for condensing your project. Just write down a brief overview of your HYPOTHESIS and RESULTS.
• An Introductory Paragraph can help with showing why you chose this topic, as well as putting in some interesting RESEARCH you found.
• A list of Materials is good for people cross-referencing your project.
• Putting down what you did for your TEST is good.
• All the data. Whether or not it's in a graph form or not, people should see everything, not just what supports your HYPOTHESIS.
• A Conclusion to show what you think of the results should be seen.
• A Bibliography for showing websites and books you used on your quest.
• An Acknowledgments page, for all those nice people who helped you work on it or brew coffee the night before.

The Judges are who you're aiming for, so remember to keep your project ORIGINAL,ORGANIZED,easy to realize you used the SCIENTIFIC METHOD, DOCUMENTED, DATA-BASED, SAFE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, ILLUSTRATED(graphs, charts, etc.), UNDERSTANDABLE(for them AND you, it doesn't make sense if you don't know what you're talking about), EASY TO READ, and, most of all, COMPLETE.

Well, that's done. See you mates.

Adventure Van, out.
