CIS 6,7,8 Continental International School Science Fair guidelines

Science Fair will take place on 5th of December 2024

Science Fair rules


1. Think safety first before you start, do not touch, taste or inhale chemicals. Don’t
perform an experiment that will harm a person.
2. Never eat or drink during an experiment
3. Keep your work area clean.
4. All team members should participate in project preparation & in presenting their
projects.

Your Science Fair Oral Presentation


A lot of students are scared of speaking in public or to a teacher/judge. Just imagine they are a
fellow scientist who just wants you to share what you learned.
Relax, smile, and have fun. Remember, you are the expert and you had fun doing the project. But if
you are a little nervous, we listed some things that you need to do during the presentation.
Helpful Hints:
 Look sharp, feel sharp, and you will be sharp. Dress nice that day, be polite, and speak
clearly. You will show that you have confidence. Don’t forget to look at your audience.

 Introduce yourself. Point to the title of your display. Tell your audience why you chose to
study this.

 State the problem that you studied (your question.) Tell them about your hypothesis
(what you thought might happen.)

 Talk about what you have learned while researching your topic.

 Talk about the sources (books, websites, and interviews) that helped you understand your
topic.

 Tell about your project and explain the steps you took to conduct your experiment. Be
sure to mention all the materials involved and point out the pictures that you may have
taken.

 Show them all of the cool graphic organizers that you made, like your tables and charts.
Remember to point out the labeled parts of your graph or table to show that you know
what it represents.

 Be sure to explain what your data means. Make sure you can read your graphs and tables.
Let them know if you were surprised by the results, or if you know what would happen
because you studied about it.

 Make sure you sound like an expert on your topic. Always use the appropriate vocabulary
especially by using words from the Scientific Method, like: Problem, Hypothesis,
Procedure, Results, and Conclusions.

SCIENCE PROJECT STEPS


1. Choose a topic. Be sure it interests you. Don’t pick one because you think it will be easy. Talk it
over with your parents and when you have decided, inform your teacher, and do not ask to change
your topic later.

2. State your purpose as a question. What is it that you want to find out by doing this project?

3. Research your problem. Look at any books/websites that might help you, make observations by
simply looking at things, talk to people, and find out as much as possible about your topic. Write
down any ideas you have and where you got them. Also, keep note of all information needed for
citing your resources.

4. Form a hypothesis. What do you think is going to happen? Based on what you know or found out
from step #3, what do you think the results of your experiments will be? After doing the
experiments, it may turn out that your guess was wrong. It is okay if this happens.

5. Plan your project. How will you test your hypothesis? What experiments will you do? How will
you measure the results? Where will you keep your information? Be sure to keep notes and write
down everything you do and what happens.

6. Collect all your materials. Find a place to keep things where others won’t destroy them. Let other
family members know what you are doing so they do not throw your materials away by mistake.

7. Conduct your experiments. Remember, the more times you do an experiment the more reliable
and accurate the results will be. Do each experiment at least three times and get an average of the
results for your graph. Use something to measure your experiments: a ruler or yardstick if you are
measuring distance, a clock to measure time, etc. Check the measurements to be sure you are
correct.

8. Record your data. As you do your experiments, you will want to write down what you saw or
found out. Organize this information in an orderly manner. Put the date, time, and any other useful
information. Write your measurements clearly.

9. Draw conclusions. What did you learn from your experiments? Have you proved or disproved
your hypothesis? You made a guess about what you thought would happen. Now tell what really
did happen. You don’t lose points if your guess turned out to be wrong.

10. Prepare your titles, charts, graphs, drawings, and diagrams. Make them large enough to see,
neat, and colorful.

11. Construct your science fair display.

12. Prepare and practice your presentation. Be able to tell about what you used what you did in
your experiments, and what you found out. Know it well enough that you don’t have to read it from
the display.

13. Plan a time line so you don’t leave everything until the last minute. If you need help, tell your
parents and your teacher, the earlier the better.

14. Relax and Enjoy yourself. You will do a GREAT job!
