Oh No! Ornery old Mr. Hill is making me do a science fair project! A science fair project
is not that hard! You’re going to learn how
to do one!

There are three things a science fair project can’t
be.•A report•A demonstration
•An experiment
That’s nice, but I need to know what is a science
fair project!

A science fair project has the following parts:
•A hypothesis•An experiment
•A question
![Page 5: Oh No! Ornery old Mr. Hill is making me do a science fair project! A science fair project is not that hard! You’re going to learn how to do one!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c0151a28abf838cce1d9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Now I know what it is, how do I do one?
Step #1 - Question
You must start with a question!
![Page 6: Oh No! Ornery old Mr. Hill is making me do a science fair project! A science fair project is not that hard! You’re going to learn how to do one!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c0151a28abf838cce1d9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Examples of questions:• Which material is the best
insulator? • How do different
foundations stand up to earthquakes? • How does acid rain affect buildings?

Step #2 – ResearchResearch to see what
information you can find about your question. Step #3 –
HypothesisThe hypothesis is what you believe is the answer to your question.

Step #4 – ExperimentDesign an experiment to
test your hypothesis.
While you are doing your experiments, you will be
recording your observations and results.

Step #5 – Analyzing Results You look at the results from your experiments and come
to a conclusion. Step #6 – Conclusion My hypothesis is correct
because …My hypothesis is not correct
because …

When selecting your topic, consider:
•Is it interesting to you?
•Do you have enough time?
•Can you do this by yourself ?
•Can you really do it?
•Is it safe?

What are the best sources of
information?•Up-to-date.•Different sources.•The information is easy to understand.
![Page 13: Oh No! Ornery old Mr. Hill is making me do a science fair project! A science fair project is not that hard! You’re going to learn how to do one!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c0151a28abf838cce1d9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Examine your experiment.•Have a clear, written procedure.•Make sure your control experiment does what you want it to.•Identify problems early.
