Santiago High School Science Fair Presented by: Ms. Bergen, Mrs. Espinosa, Mrs. Knight

What is the California science fair?

When is Science Fair?? Santiago High School January 2015 District Feb County April 2015 State April 30-May1, 2012

Student Benefits College – Science Fair Participation looks great when applying to college! – Looks even better if you advance to district, county, or state! – At the county and state levels there are numerous cash awards, prizes, and scholarships!

What do you need to do?

Overview 6 Basic Science Fair Project Steps 1. Ask a question. 2. Do background research and report. 3. Construct a hypothesis. 4. Test the hypothesis by doing an experiment. 5. Analyze the data and draw a conclusion. 6. Communicate the results.

Ask a question How to Pick a Good Question The question should be interesting enough— you will be working with it for the next couple months. There should be at least three sources of written information on the subject. Make sure the experiment is safe to perform. Ensure there is enough time to do the experiment before the science fair. For example, most plants take weeks to grow.

Ask a question, continued Here’s a helpful resource to find a great project idea. Visit the Science Buddies website at to utilize these tools: – The Topic Selection Wizard This brief online survey recommends project ideas that are best for your child, based on his or her interests. – Project Ideas Pick from a huge selection of project ideas, organized by difficulty level, and featuring safety guidelines, materials lists, and required time for each project.

The Display Traditional 3-sided board. Can be up to 9 feet tall and 4 feet wide! Doesn’t have to be traditional—could be a flat board

BOARDS!

Keys to a WINNING Project Interesting, unique topic (Santiago Science Fair teachers can help you with this!) Topic has a ‘real-world’ impact or relevance LOTS of DATA! Quality board, good 1 st impression

How to Get Help Santiago will offer at lunch and after school sessions to help with project ideas, research, experimenting, and making the board Sessions will begin in November Contact Ms. Bergen (J103), Mrs. Espinosa (P200), or Mrs. Knight (P206) for more info or help!
