Ben Goldacre: Battling Bad Science

It may be true that no two science fair projects are the same. However, there are keys to success that can help students succeed - no matter what project they undertake. Science projects allow students to learn through hands-on experimentation that they control on their own.

If you are getting ready for your first (or next) science fair, be sure to plan in advance and work hard to create a successful experiment. Also, use these tips to help make your science project a success:

1. Choose your science project topic. The best and most successful science projects are based around topics that truly interest students. Therefore, decide what you want to research, ask a question that you've always wanted to answer, and develop a strategy for finding out the answer on your own through experimentation.

2. Research your topic. No matter how much you may already know about a topic, you can still learn more. Before you start your experiment, find out everything yo u can about a topic in order to make your experiment excellent and complete.

3. Plan the experiment. The plan should include information about your topic, what variables you will need to use during your experiment, how you will perform the experiment, how you will measure results, and a timeline for the execution of the experiment. Planning your experiment often takes as much time as actually working on the experiment!

4. Prepare. Gather materials and create a timeline that you will be able to follow.

5. Experiment. Execute your science project plan and take detailed notes (you'll need these for your science project report).

6. Analyze the results. What happened during your experiment? What do the results of your experiment mean? Be sure to write your data down.

7. Write the science project report. The report should include background information about your project as well as details about your experiment. Take time to write a meaningful and tho rough report.

8. Create an attractive science fair display. This display should catch the judges' attention from 3 feet away and include a wide variety of important information about your science project.

9. Practice your presentation. Ask a friend or family member to review your presentation and ask you questions. Remember: judges like to ask you tough questions about your experiment, so make sure your comfortable answering them before the actual fair!

10. Go for it! On the day of the fair, the most important thing you can do is relax. You've been working on this project for weeks (maybe months). Dress nicely, smile, and don't be afraid to explain your experiment in detail.

Science projects are fun ways to learn and show off your creativity. Work hard on your project to impress the judges...and explore and area that interests you. These tips should help you get well on your way to creating a successful project that you'll remember for a lifetime.
