4. What is a Science Fair Experiment? What is not?  A science fair project consists of a testable experiment that answers yes or no to a hypothesis.  Please refer to PPT on www.schoolrack.com/carbajall under files first one called PPT on Scientific Method www.schoolrack.com/carbajall  It is not making a model – solar system, volcano, airplane, etc.  It is not a demonstration.

5. Figure out Independent and Dependent Variable  Once you know what you want to TEST (independent variable) and what you expect to be the OUTCOME (Dependent variable), you pretty much have what needs to be done.  Come up with your own experimental design, DON’T REPLICATE – That means copy another experiment. Make it yours!  Follow steps in PPT Scientific Method at schoolrack.com/carbajaLL
