I. Strategies for Completing Your Science Fair Projects on Time.
Science fairs are intensely competitive. After talking to numerous science teachers, science fair judges and students,
I found that serious, self-motivated students
begin thinking about their projects months before the school year begins.
Indecisiveness over picking a category is usually the reason students get off to a last-minute start.
Since the timeline for completing a science fair project is lengthy, that initial delay can sabotage a your efforts
all along the way.
www.super-science-fair-projects.com
is designed to keep students on track and
motivated during the process. When you start on the home page, read the page, then click on the link at the very bottom of
the page,
you will be taken to the next step. Continue this process and you will be led, step-by-step to completion of your science
fair project.
To help keep you motivated we have added a new page, Science Fair Success.
You will succeed in completing you project by picking a topic that is interesting to you.
When you are at a loss for an idea, look at previous projects that students in you school have created. Most schools
keep a list of previous projects on file. If you live in the United States, school begins in late August.
Make an appointment with a science teacher to discuss potential projects that week. Also, at the bottom of most every page
of www.super-science-fair-projects.com you will find 100's of ideas, projects,
experiments and topics for a science fair project.
As one teacher told me, it doesn't make any difference how old or smart you are.
The key to completing a science fair project on time is using a
time line. Download the free timeline on this page.
It will help you to map out when each
step has to be completed.

There's nothing routine about working in space, as astronaut Mike Fincke
found out recently when he did some soldering onboard the International
Space Station.

All teachers of science are invited to visit the new and improved
Thursday's Classroom is to provide a connection between NASA research and the classroom. And we don't mean old research! Our weekly lessons --prepared by professional educators and scientists-- are based on breaking news reports.
Science Bulletin Website sponsored by the
American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), for breaking news on astrophysics, Earth sciences, and biodiversity.
The bulletins present current science news stories through a host of interactive videos
(5- to 7-minute video stories that follow scientists into the field), compelling photographs, graphics
(using 3-D computer models), and interactive data visualizations
(using NASA satellite data) that the Museum says will "bring science alive for adults and children alike.
Over 1,000 projects, from raising tadpoles to looking for cosmic rays... it's all here. No matter what your level of
science expertise, "The Amateur Scientist" has enough to keep you busy for a long time. Runs on Windows 95 or higher,
Mac OS, Linux, and UNIX.
