Purpose work have been included in the appendix to serve as a guide to educators who wishto teach students how to publish their own science fair projects on the World http://www.csun.edu/~lg48405/vsf/ch1/ch1_pur.html
Extractions: The purpose of this study was to examine whether publishing a student's science fair project on the Internet had any consequence on the student's attitude toward his/her projectspecifically, if it had a motivational effect. In addition, this project accomplished four goals: first, to describe the projects from the students' point of view; second, to show that the motivational benefits of publishing student research can be applied to the sciences; third, to serve as a guide to other educators who are interested in publishing their students' science fair projects on the World Wide Web; and finally, to promote an effort to organize and have a national competition of virtual science fair projects. A review of the literature revealed that there was a lack of examples concerning how students feel next
Children And Nature - Activities Eleven To Fourteen 3287), Botany 49 More science fair projects (No. 3416). Find a local group,organization, or person that is qualified to teach survival skills. http://www.globalcommunity.org/childrennature/activities11_14.html
Extractions: Eleven to Fourteen: The child is now capable of abstract thinking and thus able to derive principles from earlier discoveries of cause and effect relationships. The pre-adolescent child longs for adventure, challenge and excitement-to assume responsibility for his/her own survival. Now is the time for providing, in a way that is comfortable to you, an opportunity for the child to learn survival skills and to test themselves. This fills a need that will be filled in other ways, if this is not acknowledged and activated. It is also the time when children can begin to participate in meaningful environmental actions to create a healthy planet. There is a series of Science Fair Project books that are designed for children from sixth to 9th grade. They describe in minute detail how to do the experiments. Environmental Science, 49 Science Fair Projects, Tab Publications, Blue Ridge Summit, PA, l990. Others in the series include Botany: 49 Science Fair Projects (No. 32776) , Earth Science: 49 Science Fair Projects (No. 3287), Botany: 49 More Science Fair Projects (No. 3416). The Golden Guide Series and the National Audubon Society First Field Guide Series are both excellent field guides for beginners.

The books share a common introduction explaining the purpose and design of science fair projects, and serves as a good overview of expectations. These introductions provide brief guidelines for putting a science project together: constructing a three-panel on which to display your project, constructing and maintaining a journal to take notes and record observations, practicing an oral presentation, and what criteria judges will be looking for in competitive fairs. I have served as a judge for a number of regional science fair competitions and I emphasize what I feel is the most important aspect presented in these introductions - time management. The budding scientist must allow enough time for their project. As author VanCleave tells, trying to assemble an overnight project results in frustration, and you cheat yourself out of the fun of being a science detective. Solving a scientific mystery, like solving a detective mystery, requires planning and careful collecting of facts. I add two personal observations: I have seen many otherwise excellent project ideas downgraded out of competitive range for the very apparent lack of adequate preparation in performing and presenting the project. More importantly careful allocation of time instills a discipline that is needed to pursue quality scientific endeavors at any level.

Extractions: Student Science Conference Participants 2002 marked the fifth year for the ever-popular student science conference. Co-hosted by the American Institute of Physics Education Division, this program continues to draw students from diverse backgrounds. This year we integrated our homeschooling program into the student science conference. Two homeschooled students competed with students from Sligo and Kettering Middle schools. Dr. Gary White from the American Institute of Physics also presented a mini-workshop on spandex to the participants, their parents, siblings, and guest. The conference is designed around the student's science fair project. Students learn to communicate their scientific research by presenting papers and talks to teachers, parents, mentors and friends. Preparation involves: 1) a workshop, 2) one-on-one mentoring with MRSEC members at UMD and 3) the conference presentation. This year's program was a wonderful event and the students worked extraordinarily hard. Everyone was impressed with the student's poise and professionalism.

Extractions: Joy Suarez Getting Started: Steps 1 - 4 For your child, making the decision to enter the science fair is a very exciting thing. Tackling questions and finding solutions through experimentation goes hand in hand with the development of your child's left brain thinking. A science fair project can teach your child to find answers through responsibility, commitment and diligent work. Your willingness as a parent to help this process along will be enjoyable time spent with your child and will bring back fond memories of your own scientific discoveries! 1. Research Sit with your child and make a list of topics of interest. If you need help coming up with specific ideas, go to your local library or search the Web for books and lists of science fair projects. For the older child, have her do research on her own. Ask her to present her ideas to you. 2. Turn the idea into a science fair project Once your child comes up with an idea, determine what question will be answered through the project. In other words, a question needs to be posed and then a hypothesis needs to be made (i.e., a guess as to what the results will be). How your child goes about answering this question becomes the project. Don't forget to consider the age of your child, the safety (or lack of) involved with the proposed project, how elaborate and time consuming the project will be, what materials will be needed, and so on. By understanding her capabilities, you can help your child choose a project that is right for her. Remember that learning should be fun rather than stressful for both of you.
Science Fairs Discovery is fun and exciting, your science fair project will teach you more aboutscience and the scientific method, you ll be able to exercise and build upon http://www.kidsturncentral.com/topics/school/sciencefairs.htm
Extractions: Science Fairs...love them or hate them, chances are you may be participating in a school science fair over the next few months. The history of the Science Fair dates back to the 1950s when students first began displaying projects with scientific themes for judging. Today, Science Fairs are international events with thousands of kids participating from around the world. I spoke with Kids' Science Lady, Gayle Olson about the importance of Science Fairs, and how you can make them a rewarding, fun experience. What is the benefit of participating in a Science Fair? You never know what spark of genius will be inspired by a science fair project. Your investigation and study could lead to an interest and passion about your project that can carry on for many years. Discovery is fun and exciting, your science fair project will teach you more about science and the scientific method, you'll be able to exercise and build upon your research techniques, build self-confidence, learn how to follow step-by-step directions, learn about cause and effect and how things work. If you are making charts, drawing illustrations, constructing models, or taking pictures for your project you will build upon these skills. Finally when your project is completed, what could be better than the feeling and satisfaction of completion! How do you get started?
