Description
This packet was created for my fifth grade class and for other 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes for the school's Science Fair. It provides detailed, step-by-step, illustrated directions for completing a Science Fair Project based on the Scientific Method.
The guidelines can be used for any level of experimentation whether it be a simple mini project in class or a full-blown Science Fair Project that will be competing in a school, regional, or state science fair.
Both a PDF and WORD (editable if you have WORD) document are included.
Also available in a PowerPoint Presentation format! Great for whole class and Parents' Info Night presentations!:
Science Fair Projects: A Step-by-Step Guide- PowerPoint Version

The National Science Education Standards states that "Scientific inquiry reflects how scientists come to understand the natural world, and it is at the heart of how students learn. From a very early age, children interact with their environment, ask questions, and seek ways to answer those questions. Understanding science content is significantly enhanced when ideas are anchored to inquiry experiences. Scientific inquiry is a powerful way of understanding science content. Students learn how to ask questions and use evidence to answer them. In the process of learning the strategies of scientific inquiry, students learn to conduct an investigation and collect evidence from a variety of sources, develop an explanation from the data, and communicate and defend their conclusions. The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) recommends that all K–16 teachers embrace scientific inquiry and is committed to helping educators make it the centerpiece of the science classroom. The use of scientific inquiry will help ensure that students develop a deep understanding of science and scientific inquiry." (NSTA Position Statement: Science Inquiry. 2004, http://www.nsta.org/about/positions/inquiry.aspx.)
