Science fair projects are wonderful, real world science training experiences. Students pose questions about life and creation for which they must find answers and satisfy their curiosity. They quest for answers lead them through the world of scientific research that goes beyond lessons in the classroom or chapters in a book.

Science fair projects are opportunities for students to gain first-hand knowledge and experience of the work scientists engage in. Students apply observation skills, analyze and interpret data, design experiments to test their interpretations, collect data, rethink through their explanations, solve problems, develop research skills, and most important, learn more about themselves and their world.
