Menlo Science Fair Project Checklist
_____ My problem/topic is in the form of a question.
_____ I have written my hypothesis BEFORE the experiment. I have identified my INDEPENDENT variable and I have listed ALL of my material
_____ I have written my procedure in steps so that someone else could read and repeat my experiment.
_____ My results have been reported (usually in the form of a graph or a data table).
_____ I have written a conclusion that answers the following questions: Was my hypothesis correct? What were some possible errors? What did I learn from my experiment?
_____ If I were to do this experiment over again, what would I do differently to make the experiment better?
_____ I have conducted all of my experiments and have recorded the data.
_____ I have typed all of my information and have put it onto a science fair display board.
_____ I have made sure that my science fair board is neat and has all of the above information (in the correct places).
_____ I have practiced giving my presentation about my science experiment.
This will be done informally during the Science Fair as mentors circulate through the Multi-purpose room.
Presentations should be three minutes in length.
