Science Fair Guidelines
1. Use the Scientific Method
This is an experiment and not a demonstration. This is the idea that you are not just
following a recipe, but a hands-on experiment. It should be your own idea. Think “what
if this happened…. or what if this variable changed?…..”
3. Focus on a question that you would like to know the answer!
This idea means keep the question relatable. Don’t try to solve a world problemkeep
it simple. This encourages each of us to ask questions about the world around us;
to test and explore.
4. Please display results on a trifold/stand alone poster board.
The final project should include:
the question or purpose of the experiment
Judging will be based upon:
1. Use the Scientific Method
- Form a question
- Formulate a hypothesis (educated guess on what you think will occur)
- Conduct an experiment
- Gather data
- Compare and analyze data
- Share your outcome/conclusion (trifold, stand alone poster board please)

- if your findings support your hypothesis or not?)
