2. Please turn in your registration form to the school office by Thursday, March 16, 2017. Your registration form indicates your intent to participate. It does not imply that the project is finished. You should register even if you are not sure yet what kind of project you will be doing.

------Woodmoor Science Fair Project Topics:

Science is FUN—and EVERYONE can do science! The Science Fair is not formally judged. Parents who encourage curiosity help their children make a difference in the world!

What makes a successful project? First, pick a question or topic that is really interesting to YOU! Second, follow the scientific method when doing your project. Third, do your best work while having FUN!

The steps of the scientific method are to:  Ask a Question  Do Background Research  Construct a Hypothesis (A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work.)  Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment (Collect data by writing down what you did and what happened.)  Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion

Below are a few example questions to fire your creativity. Be sure to check out the Woodmoor Science Fair Headquarters tab on the PTSA website (http://woodmoorptsa.org) for more questions and tips.

 What kind of soda makes the most foam in a float?  What hot wheels car gets to the bottom of the slide first?  What cereal gets soggy fastest?  How much salt does it take to float an egg (try different salts)?  How can you change the color of a white flower?  Does the shape of an ice cube affect how quickly it melts?

Take a look around—there are questions surrounding you begging for an answer! Registración para la Feria de Ciencia en Woodmoor 2017
