Choose your Science Project Topic

One of the easiest ways to learn more about how things around us work is by experimenting with them. What do you do when you get a new toy? You try to see what it can do. What do the buttons on it make it do? Does it have flashing lights? Can it make interesting sounds? As you explore your toy you learn all that it is capable of.

Learning about science is a similar process. You hear about a scientific principle or fact. May be something as simple as the principle of heat. Do you take it for granted when your Mom tells you that the cup of milk is hot? No you don’t. You will immediately touch the cup to check just how hot it is. That’s part of the scientific exploration of the principle of heat.

Next you check if the temperature has gone down by blowing on the milk in the cup. If the steam that emerges is not too hot, you will venture forth to take a little sip of the milk.  If that sip seems cool enough, the next sip will be bigger. In this way the hot cup of milk has been consumed without blistering your toungue.

Picking a science project topic is also similar. You go with little steps along the way till you get a good idea. Then you choose the right path to go down with that idea. And then bit by bit your science project comes to life. So start off with any ideas you have and explore them to see just how they work out for you.
