Many people throughout schools in the United States become involved in science fairs every year. With elementary school, junior highs, high schools, and even some colleges doing yearly science fairs, some students may get nervous. Not only do you have to come up with a great project, but that project is going to be seen by many people, and even judged! For many students, the judging itself sets them on edge.

If you have made a great science fair project, and you know it, show it! Be confident in your findings, and show both spectators and the judges that you know you did it right. Make sure to display your findings well. Many times, when doing science fair projects you may get unexpected results. This is normal, and happens very frequently in science. No matter whether you are showing something that has already been tested with the same results, or you are showing new, different results, have the information displayed clearly. You may want to have more than the traditional display; you may want to add in a notebook organizing the facts and information that you found.

When doing a scientific experiment, whether it is for a science fair or for other reasons, you want to make sure that you document everything extremely well. Coming up with a project that may seem a little “out there” is not a bad idea, either. Being able to show that you understand the science behind your project is one of the big steps to getting a great score in a science fair. Even if your project does not turn out the way you wanted it to, the curiosity that you have shown in the science will help you, and your project, do well.

No matter what type of science fair project you choose, these tips can help you. Even if you are experimenting for yourself, and are not actually entering in a contest, these are great ways to keep going.
