Variables Help!

AFTER you've done your research and concluded your experiments, it is time to prepare for the science fair. Ask specific questions about preparing for a science fair, including how to set up your display board, how to prepare a presentation, etc. (Please post questions about selecting a project or conducting your experiment by posting in the appropriate "area of science" forum.)

Variables Help!

Post by emounts101 »

Hi,
I was wondering if the variables should be listed in a complete sentence. My science project is due in a few days and this is the last thing i need to do. Also, do you think you need a materials list if you are competing for a spot to go to a district level science fair?
Thanks,

Unless your teacher wants them in a complete sentence, they do not have to be. Here is an example: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... bles.shtml

As for putting the materials on your display board, yes you should. Here are some examples of display boards: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... oard.shtml
At the end of that page there is a checklist that shows what you should put on the board.

To prepare for judging, check these pages out (they overlap some but both contain useful information):
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ging.shtml
This page is more for advanced competitions, but some of the tips might be useful for your regional fair too: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... tips.shtml

Good luck and let us know if you have more questions!
