Pick Your Project

I have to do a project for the science fair. Where do I start? This is a very common question with most students. The answer to this problem is asking yourself more questions. Ask yourself specific questions like what scientific principle interests you? What kind of a science project can be constructed out of it? The more questions you ask, the more specific the image of what you need to do will be.

Personally I feel that going through a list of science projects that others have done will help give you a better idea about what you want to do. So ask around in school as to what exactly your class mates are planing to do. Ask your seniors what they made last year. Ask your science teacher for ideas as well. Most people love to discuss science projects that they have already worked on.

This will allow you to expand your horizons. The more you see and hear about the more you learn. That in turn will help you decide what is more interesting for you personally. Then once you have narrowed down on an idea ask yourself more questions. How are you going to go about making the project? What all material will you need? How much adult supervision will be required?

The more specific your questions and answers are the easier it will be for you to handle your project. Here is a useful resource on how to ask the right questions. This will help you to stay on track and get the details fixed up faster. You can have a lot of fun in the whole process. It really is very simple when you know what to expect.
