Use the scientific process to conduct your experiment. Put together an exhibit or display. Write a written report. Be prepared to discuss your experiment with the judges. Get ready to transport your project to the Fair and remember to HAVE FUN! Important - Start early! Think about what would interest you. Remember to take lists, instructions, etc. to the library with you. Plan your work with a timeline. Experiment safely. Keep a diary. Ask parents, teachers, and librarians for advice and help if you need it. Make sure you use the scientific method. This is your project - you need to do the work! Tips courtesy of Jeanne Mundorff
