Preparing a Materials List

What type of supplies and equipment will you need to complete your science fair project? By making a complete list ahead of time, you can make sure that you have everything on hand when you need it. Some items may take time to obtain, so making a materials list in advance represents good planning!

Make the materials list as specific as possible, and be sure you can get everything you need before you start your science fair project. While you are making your shopping list, do not forget the supplies for your Science Fair Project Display Board.
