The scientific method is generally introduced to students in the third grade and the posts explore this science technique for finding relationships between two things.
The final element of a winning science fair project is a good verbal presentation. There are two verbal presentations that you will need to plan ahead for. The first is the impromptu presentation that you make to individuals that approach your project at the science fair and there is the formal presentation that you make […]
The final step in the scientific method is to make suggestions for further research that still needs to be done. This step is important because it highlights the limitations of your findings and focus other researchers efforts on what you think still needs to be explored. Some students skimp on this section, but you don’t […]
This week we are going to talk about the next step in creating super science fair projects, drawing your conclusions. Your conclusions are going to be based on your data analysis, that you conducted in the last step, as well as on the background research your conducted earlier. This is a very important step in […]
This week you are collecting data when following the scientific method. You do this after you complete doing your science fair experiment. During this step of the scientific method you will be doing two things, (1) completing your experiments and (2) collecting data. This step can take anywhere from a few minutes to several months […]
This week we are moving on to the next step in the scientific method, designing your experiment. This step is one that you need to pay close attention to, as it will determine how successful your science fair project will be. By the way, if you have been following this blog this month then you […]
Last week we talked about developing your science fair project’s hypothesis and this week we will be discussing how to conduct the background research for your project. This is an activity that needs to be done both before you create your hypothesis and after you develop your hypothesis. Whether you are working on an easy […]
There are specific steps that you need to take when developing a hypothesis for your electronics themed science fair projects. The first step is to select a topic related to electronics. Then you will need to ask questions about this topic that you are interested in the answers. For example, you may want to know […]

This week we are going to talk about developing a hypothesis. During the month of September we will be going over each step of the scientific method. Each week we will tackle a different component. Your hypothesis is basically a prediction of what will happen or a question that you want to answer. For example, […]
DIY science fair projects are designed specifically to compliment your level of understanding and your level of scientific expertise. Unfortunately, when many kids approach their science fair projects for the first time they are scared and a little bit intimidated. However, these projects can be a lot of fun if you approach them in the […]
Building in 1 Direction: The rods can be connected in-line without the intermediate need of a connector, almost reducing to half the quantity of parts required to build models.
Building in 2 Direction: While the assembled rod looks uniform with nothing protruding, it may provide building directions vertically and sideways by simply snap fitting another rod to one of the bi-directional side cavities. This innovative design allows snap assembly on both sides simultaneously and greatly enhances the expandability of the System.
Building in 3 Directions: The System is capable of tackling with the same ease as all the other building directions. All directions of the 3D space are accessible by combining the rods with the various types of connectors.
Connecting in Fixed Angles: This system makes it possible to build complex models that require connections of 45°
Building Machines: The optimized design of Engino components consists of only 18 different types of multi-functional parts. Yet you can build simple and complex machines. Following the same design principles of the basic system, a range of different types of gears, pulleys, axles and accessories make it the ideal constructional toy for home and school.
