A science fair project gives students a chance to design their own learning experience, one that allows students to innovate, just as scientists do in the real world. Students will also be able to explore personal interests to select an area for his or her science fair project, as well as learn the scientific method to answer a question or engineering design process to solve a problem. Each student will also develop skills above and beyond science proficiency, such as:
|
- Reading Comprehension and Writing: Doing background research and writing a research paper
- Math: Creating graphs and performing data analysis
- Time Management: Planning a multi-step project
- Communication: Presenting and explaining the science fair project
- Ethics Understanding: Learning about plagiarism, importance of credit and citations, ethical science practices, etc.
