How do you make the best science project?

Answer 1

you do research than you build it.

if in grades, say 6th to 10th grade. a simple , but perfect experiment is the (what i call it ), is the open flash light experiment. on a small piece of wood , put two D size batteries together positive to negative, and positive to negative. they are in series's, meaning 1.5v + 1.5v =3v flashlight. on the negative end (flat end) connect a wire to it and let it go to a knife switch. from the other end of knife switch, connect a wire to the side of a flashlight bulb. you can glue or tape to it as long as it makes contact. from the positive side of the two batteries (raised end) connect a wire to the pointed bottom end of the bulb. you can call it Open View Of how a flashlight works. close knife switch, current flow through bulb and it lights, (closed loop). Open Switch, no current flows. bulb does not light(open loop). a very simple series circuit, but very effective in showing how electricity works.

It all starts in the preparation. You should first decide on the type of science you wish to do. Projects that are complex and based on energy are good, and fun to do. However, at some schools, there seems to be a bias towards Biology projects. So if everyone is doing projects with electricity and technology, then you may want to try an impressive project using plants or humane animal experiments.

There is something a lot don't understand about how science fairs work. There are winners in many categories, or according to classroom. Then there are overall winners per grade and type of science. So they have 2-3 overall winners per grade each in biological and physical science. It gets confusing if you get a blue ribbon but are not allowed to advance to the area science fair. But you would have to have a second ribbon to be able to advance. At a lot of schools, there are much more students into physical science than into biology and earth science. So you might want to try your hand at a biological project rather than a physical science project.

Now, when you get started, you need to be able to create a project that proves or disproves something, or otherwise investigates something. While you can create a project for the sake of making something cool, that alone won't be what the judges are looking for. It has to actually involve investigation and experimentation. Plus you need to be able to fully document what you have done and the conclusions that can reasonably be reached by your experiments. Sure, your classmates won't like that boring stuff and won't care about it, and you probably won't even care about it, but the teachers and judges do care about that, and generating findings is the whole point of experimenting. You don't want to have the coolest project ever and be beaten by someone who did loads more research and documentation.

As for the display itself, it should be fun and interactive if possible. It should be neat, free-standing, and not covered with Duct Tape and bailing wire. While poster board can be used if you are careful, you should use project board, since it is easier to work with and tends to produce a neater result. If you have a bunch of wires and stuff, then you should partially conceal them, but not fully hide them. You want it to be neat, but you also want others to be able to see the work you put into your project. You do want your project to be safe. You don't want your project to explode, catch on fire, have sharp objects that extend beyond the project, or harm or scare those who interact with it. If risks cannot be avoided, then clearly label it as such. (Eg., "Loud noise warning: Please power on unit before wearing the headphones!") You want to be responsible, not harm anyone with your project, and not lose any points for having an unsafe, messy or unstable project. You also don't want to cause any loss of property or life, or do anything with your project that could get you in trouble with the school or the law.

Answer 3

you can do models on wind or solar energy
