Science Fair 911 – Tips for Parents
By Guest Blogger Debbie Leibold
“It’s science fair time!” Those words cause many parents to panic and ask questions like, “How are we going to have time for this?” ”What experiment should my child do?” ”I have no science background–how am I going to help?” ”Where do we begin?”
Don’t panic… help is on the way. Completing a science fair project is not as difficult as you might think and, believe it or not, it can even be really fun! Here at Steve Spangler Science we’ve created an entire science fair section on our website to help students, parents, and teachers through the science fair process. We take you through the process step-by-step, starting with the challenge of choosing a topic and ending with suggestions for the display board and presentation tips. We discuss the scientific method in detail and guide you through the requirements of any good science fair project. We also have a science fair experiment library for you to browse and some excellent sample science fair projects.
Our hope is that you will find the resources
