When you design your Science Experiments for Kids look at your timeline and be sure that you have enough time to complete it.

A hypothesis is an educated guess or prediction of what you think will happen. What makes this section so much fun is that there is no right or wrong solution to the problem. It is what you think is the answer to the question.

A good hypothesis takes the form of "If I do this, then that will happen."
For example... I hypothesize that flower seeds fed an organic natural fertilizer will germinate faster than those that are fed a synthetic chemical fertilizer.

Even if your experiment  produces different results from your hypothesis statement, do not change your statement.

Write your Big Question in your Science Projects Log and give reasons and information from your research to back up your hypothesis.
 

• Are you going to do a survey where participants answer questions? (Look on page 11 of this free downloaded document.) Then write the survey and make copies for each person.
• Are you going to chart your results? Then put graph paper on your supply list or use an outstanding program that will help you to make professional looking charts and tables?
• Are you going to need lab equipment such as microscope, slides, test tubes? Then write down the materials you will need.

Meet with your teacher and a parent again: Bring your Log. Here are some questions to discuss:

• Can my Science Experiments for Kids project be completed within the time allotted?
• Cost of completing the project: is it too expensive? Do you need special equipment?
• Is the design of the experiment effective?
• Are the effects measurable in an objective way?
• Does the project violate any state or federal laws pertaining to scientific research?

After your teacher approves your Science Experiments for Kids work, and you meet with a parent, it is time to go shopping. Remember that supply list you've been recording in your Science Log? Now is the time to take write a shopping list on another piece of paper and purchase your science fair supplies. If you need to add to the list, do so in your science log and on your shopping list.

Plan to take pictures you will find (online discounts and coupons) here for your materials and equipment. Include them in your report. Judges love pictures.

Do you remember the Success is a Journey story on the science fair idea page? Remember it told you another important reason to take pictures.
