CLUE No. 1
WHAT MUST BE UNCOVERED. . .
Science Projects
To find the answer to this clue will take about 1 hour.
- Thoroughly read the
information on this web site.
It has a multitude of
science projects listed on every page.
Carefully read the
simple science fair projects rules of your school's Science Fair.
If you do not understand something,
ask your teacher. The only stupid
question is one that is not asked!
Your school may have a web
site where you can find the rules, guidelines
and science projects from which to choose. The rules and regulations
written by your teacher or school take
precedent over whatever is suggested here or on any other site.
Rules vary from fair to fair regarding ethical safety and animal
regulations. Illegal substances or anything that could cause danger to you
or your research subjects is not permitted. Some science fairs do not
allow projects to have
animals as part of a science project, while others do. Check with
your teacher to clarify the guidelines.
If it is to be, it's up to me!
Every detective has a special notebook.For your investigation,
you will need a NEW spiral notebook
in which you will take notes as you
investigate among many
science fair
projects, choose your project as well as
track your thoughts, feelings questions,
research
and experiments.
Let's call this your
SCIENCE PROJECTS LOG.
Everything you do for your project will be kept in your Science
Projects Log.
Keep it as neat as possible. You will use the information in
your notebook to write your report. It will also be handed in to your
teacher and be on display at your school's science fair along with your
science project.
Investigators have a step-by-step procedure that they follow.

Sherlock Holmes has his personal library in his study. What
personal references do you own? Here are the two best resources that I found for
science
fair projects...
Scientific American's, "The Amateur Scientist," Science Fair Edition.
It has over 1,000 science projects with loads of hints and tips.
E.encylopedia
is an encyclopedia and an
accompanying Web site that together provide research material for students on 600 subject areas.
The book is a comprehensive,
photo-filled resource with sections on every major subject area: science, nature,
history, culture, and more. Readers can enter highlighted keywords throughout the dedicated Web site to link to
age-appropriate sites with related information, video clips and more.
These recommended links are regularly reviewed and updated.

An experienced detective knows that it takes
time and patience to uncover all the clues to solve a
mystery. An excellent science fair project will take between 2 to 3 months
to complete.
Sometimes getting stuck means you just need to discover how you learn best.
Find out what to do to help you stay focused on your science fair project,
and much more! Take an
online learning style profile.
Another way to stay focused is to copy and tape this motto
on the ceiling above your bed. Read it every night before you go to sleep
and when you wake up in the morning.
"Go over, go under, go around
or go through. But never give up."
When my children were in middle school and high school we always had positive sayings and posters
displayed all over the house. One day I looked above my son's bed and he had a picture of his goals taped to the
ceiling! Successories Motivational Outlet Center
has the best selection.
