State the *Problem in Question Form
Who, What, When, Where, and especially Why?
Also, so what?So what… if you find out plants grow better in
one soil than the other.So what… if you find out one bubble gum makes
bigger bubbles than another.So what… if plants do not grow in soil with
detergent water.Ask why it would affect your life?*Title Card

Don’t ForgetIf you are using animals (including humans
or a survey with humans), or any other live subject you must get prior approval from your teacher and fill out an appropriate form. Our science fair follows the national guidelines for science experiments.

Gather *MaterialsDo you have what you need to do your
experiment? Is it going to be too expensive? Should you change to another experiment? Can you do your experiment multiple times? What is your *procedure? What sequence will you follow?
*Title Cards
![Page 13: Science Fair “Magic or Science“ Nebo Elementary Thursday, December 8th 7:00 pm Projects due to teachers Tuesday, December 6th Science Fair “Magic or Science“](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022083006/56649f345503460f94c5115f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Gather *DataWhere will you record your information?
Will you use *graphs? Will you use notes? Will you take photos of project? Will you have examples of project? Will you have a science notebook? Will you write an *abstract? (This is a simple one page paper containing information about your project.)

*Results and *Variables
What happened? What did you observe? What problems did you have as you worked on your experiment? What surprises? What caused the science experiment to turn out the way it did? (*Variables-if you want to win have more than one)You may want to record information in a log.

*ConclusionWhat did this experiment mean to you?
What did you discover? Revisit the “so what” in your question/problem. How can you use this information?
