As your kids begin their Science Fair projects we want to make sure they have the information they need to make it great! No matter their age or the complexity of their project, we want them to have fun and enjoy the process.

 

It’s all about the process and discovering new things. We hope as they work through the Scientific Method they will be enlightened and filled with wonder. 

Please make sure they use the Scientific Method outlined here.
