Experiment instructions
I am a 5th grade science teacher. Our school has a science fair every other year. I noticed that the various experiments have abstracts and objectives, but the experimental procedure is missing. Have they been removed? I was hoping to show my students an example and explain to them how they must create their own experimental procedure. Are there any with the e.p.?

Re: Experiment instructions
Hello Gloria,
Some of the more advanced projects don't have a section on experimental procedures, but many others certainly do.
Here's one example:

Here a link to the science buddies project guide:

This might also be useful for your students to read.
I hope this helps, but be sure to let us know if you have more questions!

Re: Experiment instructions
Hi Gloria,
To clarify a little further, anything with an asterisk after the title is an "Abbreviated Project Idea" that only has an abstract but not a full procedure, like this:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... -cable-car
However, as MadelineB pointed out, the majority of our projects include a procedure. Make sure you click on the "Procedure" tab at the top of the page to see it (if you haven't been to our site in a long time, it used to be one giant page, but now they're broken up into tabs):
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... #procedure
Hope that helps!
Ben
