<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[][|Science Fair Project] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">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.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The project will be started and completed the second semester of school and be due March 15 or 16, 2012. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">A science fair project involves the use of the scientific method to answer a question or solve a problem.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The scientific method, like a recipe, has several steps. Each step must be completed before starting the next step.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">These steps include: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">1. A question or problem <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">2. Obtaining background information & research (and bibliography) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">3. Construction of the hypothesis (a scientific prediction of what you think will happen) and identification of the variables <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">4. Experiment design (write the procedure steps and material list) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">4. Test the hypothesis (the experiment!) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">5. Analyze data and make conclusion <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6. Complete the abstract (summary) and written report, and construct the display board <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">7. Submit and prepare for judging
