How to get your science project right

What do you think will make a great science fair project? Does it have to be big to impress everyone around you? Does it have to be shiny and flashy so that it catches the eye? Does it have to make a loud sound to make heads turn in its direction? While all this sounds good, it will not guarantee that the science project is a good one.

While the display of a science fair project is very important, it is the actual project which needs to have substance. If you have an original idea it is far better than a thousand clones which are just variations of the same idea. You need to think out of the box to get that ideal science project going.

Think about the actual purpose of the project. Is it to win an award or is it to teach you something new? You may say both. However the judges who see the different projects also check if the student has had to learn something extra in order to get it to work. That enhances the value of the project right away.

Here’s an article that will give you a good idea about what teachers really want when they come to see your science fair project.  You may find some useful stuff here. Essentially you must remember that the teacher wants you to learn something new from your participation in the science fair. If your project reflects that, it is the right one to do.
