Choose Science Fair Topic
You will choose 2 – 3 topics with a brief description of how you will carry out the experiment on a piece of notebook paper labeled “Topic Proposal Worksheet” to show your teacher on this date. Put your topics in order of preference. Your teacher will discuss your options and you will decide on the final topic together. Include the following on your paper:
a. Question/Problem
b. Describe the method you’ll use to carry out your experiment (this MUST be a topic that can be determined through designing an experiment, NOT a systematic observation or research topic!!!!!)
**Note: Projects with living objects (animals, plants, humans, etc…) are NOT encouraged. Earth/Space, Physical science, and engineering ideas are strongly recommended. Brand comparison projects, such as which type of battery lasts longest, which brand of diaper absorbs the most water, etc. are strongly discouraged.
