Want to win at the Science Fair? Get that time line right!

One of the things that sets back a student from winning at the science fair is the lack of a good time line for his science project. So what is this time line? It is like a schedule for all the tasks that you need to do to make sure that your project is ready on time and in the best possible condition.

Where can you get this time line tool? You don’t get it anywhere, you need to sit down and make it. Once you know the date of the science fair you need to work backwards. Make a list of all the tasks that you can break down the science project into.Think about it there are many things you need to do.

Things like buying the material,  fixing the model, writing the report, doing up the display board, and just about any activity that is related to the project. List all the tasks on a sheet of paper and decide how long each task will take you to do. Now fix a time line for the sequence of events as you will perform them.

This allows you to know just how long your project will actually take you to do. Make sure that you keep a week extra handy in the time line as some things may take longer to do than others. As far as possible try and stick to the time line and get all the work done as soon as possible. That way your science fair project will be as near perfect as possible.
