I cannot think of a project...What should I do?

Remember that your science fair project should reflect your interests. First, take out your science log book. Make a list of five things that you are interested in. Then do a little research. Which one of these topics would be the easiest to turn into a science project? Which one encourages you to ask the most questions?

Curiosity is key! What do you want to learn about?

Here are a few websites that might help you!

Science Buddies

Science Fair Projects

Also, Carrie Mitton, a fellow science fair teacher, has created a tool that you may want to explore. This tool will help guide you, but you may need some help while you do the activities!

Remember the science fair should be about exploring things that interest you, so have FUN!
