It is recommended reading by all teachers and students. Science Fair is a chance for you to plan, perform, and report an original science project. Each year, dozens of Sam Hughes students participate, both individually and in class projects. Designing and carrying out a science project gives you a chance to explore a question you are interested in, and to try to answer that question in a scientific way. Presenting your projects at Science Fair gives all of us a chance to learn about your work, and to congratulate you on a job well done.
Science begins with curiosity.
Good science projects spring from questions and ideas you have about your world. Almost anything can be the basis of a good project, if you find a good question to ask about it. Start with something you are interested in. Science is a way of asking and answering questions. Different questions will need different kinds of observations, experiments, and procedures to answer them, but all involve carefully thinking about how what you do is helping to answer the question.
