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.
