MBVM 7th Grade Science Fair 6th Grade Planning for

Experiment Choice The Science TOPIC is not as important as the KNOWLEDGE GAINED from the experiment

Regional Website The experimentation behind a science project is what is significant. It is not the choice of the topic that is important, but WHAT IS LEARNED BY THE STUDENT! Choose something that interests you! There is nothing worse than working on something you do not enjoy. Be realistic about the amount of time needed and available. Remember that all projects must answer a definite scientific question or solve a problem. Start early; Do not wait until the last minute.

SCIENCE FAIR REPORT (Illinois Junior Academy of Science) IJAS REQUIREMENTS 1) Formal SCIENCE REPORT 1) Formal SCIENCE REPORT ABSTRACT – Summarizes their Project SAFETY SAFETY ENDORSEMENTS (HUMAN/NON-HUMAN TESTING) TITLE PAGE TITLE PAGE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PURPOSE AND HYPOTHESIS PURPOSE AND HYPOTHESIS BACKGROUND RESEARCH BACKGROUND RESEARCH EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE-metric measurements EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE-metric measurements EXPERIMENT RESULTS – TABLES, GRAPHS EXPERIMENT RESULTS – TABLES, GRAPHS ANALYSIS ANALYSIS CONCLUSION CONCLUSION REFERENCE PAGE REFERENCE PAGE PICTURES PICTURES 2) POWER POINT AND ORAL PRESENTATION (NOTECARDS) 2) POWER POINT AND ORAL PRESENTATION (NOTECARDS)
