Here are the guidelines for Science Fair Projects:

1. Each project has 3 parts:

• Doing some science (see back of form),

• Making a display that explains what you did, and

• Talking to your class about your project.

2. Please turnin your registration form to the school office by Thursday, February 16, 2018. Your registration form indicates your intent to participate. It does not imply that the project is finished. You should register even if you are not sure yet what kind of project you will be doing.

3. Once you turn in this registration form, we will bring a display board to your classroom with your name on it. You will also get a page with ideas to help jump start your science project.

4. Need help finding an idea? Ask the school librarian about resources in the library.

5. Use drawings or photos to illustrate breakable, living or potentially dangerous items used in the science project. Woodmoor and PTSA are not responsible for lost or broken items that come to school for the Science Fair.

We need several volunteers to make the science fair run smoothly and would love your help. If you are available to volunteer during the science fair, check your inbox Woodmoor PTSA will send a sign-up genius soon or send an email: .

Woodmoor Science Fair Project Topics:

Science is FUN—and EVERYONE can do science!

Parents who encourage curiosity help their children make a difference in the world!

What makes a successful project? First, pick a question or topic that is really interesting to YOU! Second, follow the scientific method when doing your project. Third, do your best work, haveFUN!

The steps of the scientific method are to:

  • Make an Observation.
  • Ask a Question.
  • Make a Hypothesis (A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work).
  • Conduct your Experiment (Test your hypothesis, collect data).
  • Analyze your data, report your results.
  • Draw a Conclusion (What you learn).

Below are a few example questions to fire your creativity.

  • What kind of soda makes the most foam in a float?
  • What hot wheels car gets to the bottom of the slide first?
  • What cereal gets soggy fastest?
  • How much salt does it take to float an egg (try different salts)?
  • How can you change the color of a white flower?
  • Does the shape of an ice cube affect how quickly it melts?

Take a look around—there are questions surrounding you begging for an answer!
