PAMELA and CARLOS

Which material cleans oil spills the best?

ILENNY and ALDRIN

What ratio of vinegar to baking soda produces the best chemical volcano reaction.

Dayana and Rebeca

Determine whether natural products could pick up spilled oil better than consumer products

Ana, Betzaida, Jean Paul

The Effect of Gatorade Vs. Water on 7th Graders' Pulse Rates while Exercising
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of Gatorade vs. water on the pulse rate of seventh graders while exercising. The information gained from this experiment could help coaches and athletes decide on what drink could help maintain the desired pulse rate.

Michael and Kevin

Find out if plants affect the temperature in a sealed box

Luis, and Mayerling

Find out which object (Styrofoam, vinyl material, cotton material, newspaper, or cardboard), has more harmful elements, (ash and smoke) to the atmosphere when it is burnt.

HOW TO START GUYS!!!!!!

Step 1: Select Your Topic
First, you'll need select a great science fair topic.
What makes for a great topic?

Step 2: Do Your Homework
After selecting your topic, learn as much as you reasonably can about it.
Step 3: Plan
Once you consider yourself an expert about your topic, plan your road ahead. Your plan should include the following:
1. Devise a simple and clear sentence that states the purpose of your experiment. What do you want to find out?
Step 4: Prepare
Gather together everything you will need to carry out your experiment. Get everything set up and negotiate with family members for any time and space you will need to complete the experiment.
Use Science notebook.
Step 5: Do The Experiment!
Now, follow your written plan. While conducting the experiments make sure you keep detailed notes on everything that you observe. To take pictures or make sketches of your observations whenever doing so would make things clearer.

Step 6: Figure Out What Happened and What it Means
As soon as you are finished with your experiments, its time to organize your notes. (It's OK to recopy your notes so that they are more organized and can be easily understood by others.)
Next, analyze your data.
Ask yourself, what happened? Did the results agree with your hypothesis? Make graphs and charts that will help you "see" what the data mean.

Step 7: Write Your Report
Write a detailed report about your project.
Tell exactly what you did, how you did it, and what you discovered

Step 8: Make Your Display
No matter how good your experiment, you can't expect to win your science fair without a killer display.

SCIENTIFIC METHOD


In the 5-step method (which some students are asked to provide) we see the formation of the problem, a prediction that provides explanation, a procedure used to test the ideas, the observation of results in the procedure, and a conclusion based on all of the other steps. There is a bit more to the method, and it might look like this:
  1. Ask and define the question.
  2. Gather information and resources through observation.
  3. Form a hypothesis.
  4. Perform one or more experiments and collect and sort data.
  5. Analyze the data.
  6. Interpret the data and make conclusions that point to a hypothesis.
  7. Formulate a "final" or "finished" hypothesis.
With the investigation concluded, the published results will be verified by other investigators, and the "tested" knowledge integrated into a larger whole of scientific information.
