Scientific MethodMake Your Experiment Amazing!
Every great science fair project starts with following the Scientific Method. So, here are the steps you need to follow to make your experiment amazing!
- Question
Find a topic that interests you and decide what you want to learn from the project. Remember to pick a topic that is narrow enough for you to become an expert on one specific aspect of that topic. - Research
Gather information about the question you want to explore. Ask your science teacher and librarian for tips on how to find detailed information for your project. - Hypothesis
Based on the research you have gathered, you can make an educated guess about what you think the outcome of your experiment will be. - Procedure
This is the part where you perform your experiment. 
Data
Take detailed notes about the processes and results of your experiment. You want to document every part of your experiment, so take notes, draw pictures, use your camera, and anything else that will help you keep track of each step of your procedure.- Observations
Provide a written description of what you discovered from your experiment. - Conclusion
Was your hypothesis correct or incorrect? This is where you summarize the results of your experiment and compare the results to your original guess, and remember... it’s okay if your hypothesis was wrong! That is all part of the scientific process.
