For example, you may have a pet bird at home who is a very picky eater. What is its favorite food? Does it ever get tired of eating the same food all the time?
There are many ways to answer questions. You can design an experiment or a survey, build a model, or write a computer program that can help you find the answer. A good project is one you can do mostly by yourself, with only a little help from grown-ups: parents, Science Fair Organizers our names and contact information are at the end of the packet , teachers, and friends. A good project is something you design and build by yourself from regular or every-day materials.
Doing it by yourself is more satisfying than simply buying a kit someone else made in the store. Creative projects using basic materials make for the most impressive science fair projects!
Judging Criteria and Awards Students in grades are included in the formal competition. Students in Pre-K through 4 will interact with scientists and receive feedback, but there will be no competition. Judging takes place by grade. Group projects that include students from different grades are classified according to the grade of the oldest participant. A first prize and, potentially, additional prizes will be awarded in each grade from grade Home-built models carry more weight than commercial kits.
Was the student orderly and logical with the setup and follow-through of the project? Were the student's conclusions consistent with the data he or she collected? Knowledge of Project Area possible 20 points How effectively did the student conduct preliminary research?
Was the student aware of both the scope and limitations of the project? Thoroughness possible 20 points Did the student do sufficient research in the literature before starting the project? Was thorough use made of data and observations?
Was the original plan successfully followed through to completion? Did the student put together an accurate written report, complete with a bibliography?
Ingenuity and Creativity possible 15 points Was the explanation of the project clear and precise? How well did the student use his or her materials in the solution of problems? Did the student present any new or unique ideas?

Have you ever wondered how this works? This basic chemistry project can give you some clues. Instead, try snacking on it! Use the steps and recipes in this food science project to transform drinks into semi-solid balls that pop in your mouth. The technique is called spherification and it is part of a larger food science trend called molecular gastronomy— but we just call it yummy science! Try this eggsperiment to find out! A balloon-powered car is pushed forward by air escaping from a balloon, and it is fun and easy to build with materials you already have around your house.
Can you imagine how you would want your own balloon-powered car to look? Can you design a car that will travel as far as possible? You can even measure your car's speed using your smartphone and a special sensor app. Many commercials claim these filters make your drinking water cleaner and safer. But what, exactly, are these filters doing and is the water really cleaner afterwards? The cleaning power comes from their filling material, called activated carbon. It exists in all kind of forms: powder, granules, foams, and blocks.
Do you think it matters what type of activated carbon is inside the filter? Among the benefits often featured in these ads are the beverages' high level of electrolytes, which your body loses as you sweat.
In this science project, you will compare the amount of electrolytes in a sports drink with those in orange juice to find out which has more electrolytes to replenish the ones you lose as you work out or play sports.
What about a father and his son — have you ever seen a boy who looked just like how his father did when he was younger?
