The list of Science Fair Project Ideas.docx can help you find a project.  Remember, your project must try to answer a scientific question.  Your experiment must measure something, and you must repeat your experiment so that you collect at least three sets of data.

The Science Fair Information Letter.docx should be completed by each student and his or her parents or guardians. (Included in the handbook.)

The Science Fair Handbook 2011.docx has detailed instructions for each part of the science project:  the inquiry process, writing the research report, creating the display board, and giving the presentation, along with the schedule of interim due dates and an explanation of the judging and awards.
