Science Fair project does not equal to boring!

Are you the kind of person who thinks science is boring? Do you feel learning about science makes you sleepy? That it will serve no purpose if you know about conductivity or not. That science fair projects are a waste of time. And that they are the most boring activity that you have to do as part of school work?

Then this should help change your mind. Think about some things that you enjoy. Do you like to watch TV? Play video games or even play basket ball? Do you think they have nothing to do with science? Think again. Each of these activities that you enjoy is based on some scientific principle.

The TV you watch was initially based on the Cathode Ray principle. Now the screens are getting slimmer because they are using the LCD or Liquid Crystle Display technology. Did the TV just get invented one day? No it was probably a science project in the making for some time before it came to the form we see it in now. And guess what people are still making working models of TVs that will be better than the ones we have right now.

Constant innovation is why science is dynamic and never dull. The video games that were available a generation ago were plugged into the TV. Now you have hand held video games. Miniaturisation is also achieved through scientific exploration. Can you imagine that the next science fair project you make could turn into cutting edge technology one day? How can that be boring! Just change how you think about science and the boring tag will disapper.
