Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

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.?

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!

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:

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):

Hope that helps!
