Science Project Tips

1. Choose an appropriate topic:
Try to choose a project based on an area of interest to you. This will make your project much more enjoyable to do.
2. Know the Scientific Method:
There are some key elements that characterize science. These include: reliance on observation, having a testable question, and avoiding observer bias. See more discussion of the scientific method.
3. Seek additional resources:
Besides the Internet, there are a number of other valuable resources that are available. Try consulting the MY NASA DATA E-mentor network or a topic expert, or visit your local library for printed materials on your topic.
4. Publish your results in a clear manner:
Be sure to display the outcome of your experiment in an easy to understand way. There are a number of websites that can assist you with this, such as the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair website.
