It’s god that the kids can come up with their own experiments. It certainly will help them out to learn as it is something they are interested in and the experiment may benefit other causes as well. Great stuff. Cheers

Science fair projects are great avenues for kids to exercise their creativity. I think the goal of the a this science fair project is to let the kids think independently on their own; find solutions to the problems they see; innovate thoughts and ideas. The good thing about kids is that they are more inquisitive, creative and imaginative than adults. A Brain study was conducted in Utah stating that as we grow older, the lesser we become creative. I think it is true because our ego hinders us to explore and discover; sometimes we think that we know it all.

In contrary, these kids in science fair projects practice some sense of creativity. They explore and discover things on their own. Their search for knowledge and new information can bring in innovation to humanity. Kids who maintain this traits or attitude are often the ones who will stand out when they become an adult.

Thus, science fair projects like this is a good start. An avenue that can help kids explore and discover new ways and means. Every big things come from small beginnings.

I agree with “sunshine” on this. Science fairs are meant to show what students can prove on their own. Even though I find this interesting, it shouldn’t be used as advice.

It is very disappointing when judging a science fair and giving a student compliments on their creativity only to finding out their parents were responsible for the creativity…

Mark, they can come up with their own hypothesis. That is the purpose of science fair projects… for the kids to create their own experiments.

I know a lot of my nieces and nephews are really into camping, so it would be great to use a resource like that as a hypothesis question for a science fair. I personally think that to interest kids, it definitely needs to relate to an activity in their every day life.

Yes, newspapers have a lot of uses. What other uses can you think of to test to create a science fair project?

I figured the main reason that people use newspaper to start fires is because most people feel bad throwing something away after reading it once. This is a great way to make use of something more then one time. I never knew it had other good reasons to burn.
