FINDING A TOPIC August 27, 2008

Here are the links from the library presentation on Finding A Topic for your Science Fair Project.
Some helpful Science Fair Guides:
- Today’s Science (http://www.2facts.com) Science Fair Guide and Doing Experiments sections; login and scroll down to “Curriculum Tools”
- Internet Public Library Science Fair Project Resource Guide (http://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/projectguide)
- Librarians’ Internet Index (http://www.lii.org); search for “Science Fair” or “Science Project”
Use the books in the Res Library (on the red cart)) and books at your public library to look for possible topics. Browse the science magazines and also general interest magazines for more ideas. In a previous post I listed the web links for the Illinois Junior Academy of Science site and the California state science fair site. Reading abstracts of previous Science Fair winners may spark your imagination.
Use the Science Reference Center database to search for ideas and also to check if your possible topics are researchable. If you don’t have the username and password for this database or for Today’s Science, stop by the library and pick up a blue sheet.
And don’t forget to talk with your teacher! He or she is an invaluable resource in this whole process.
