Are parents generally welcome to attend science fairs?
Q. I was supposed to ask this question for my friend's mom when I set up at the judging center, but I forgot. Are parents welcome to come at any time to see the projects, or are science fairs usually not open to the public? It's a county fair. Judging will take place before the students even arrive. The fair is in a building in a state park.
Asked by ajlpenguin315 - Sun Mar 2 19:04:21 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It will depend. Generally, while the projects are being judged, no parents are allowed in the room. But this is at the county/state fair level - local schools might just let everyone in.

A. You could make a model of the human brain, DNA, an atom, wealth system, or the solar system. These are just some examples you could use.

Are science fairs easy or hard?
Q. We are doing a science fair at school. And I was wondering if a science fair is easy to win. I have a project That is compareing the different types os balls and the speed.

A. Depends. You can probably win a "participant ribbon" with very little effort. If you want to win first place, it will require work, probably hard work. That is a very good life lesson.

What do Science Fairs need?
Q. Well, I have been thinking of entering good science fair competitions as a senior. Now i am just a freshman. However, when i become a senior, I want to participate in the Intel Science Fair and the Westinghouse science competition. But when i look at the winners of the competitions' projects, I am just stunned by the depth of their projects. I couldn't understand almost half of what they are talking about in their projects. Is this normal? Do i have to get extra help from people if i want to participate in these science fairs? Are these special programs that will prepare for these science fairs? Please reply. Thank you.

A. One would hope that, by the time you become a senior, you will have learned more science than you know now. Nearly any science fair project is specialized. I did my physics project on thermoelectric cooling (Peltier Effect). By the time I submitted my project, I knew more about the Peltier Effect than anyone else in my school, and probably more than any other high school student in my city or state. That's not surprising, that's expected. That's specialization. It's very good that you're already thinking about this. Learn how science works. As you study for class and outside of class, see what interests you. It's not hard to make a project sound deep just by quoting references you don't understand. If the competitions are… [cont.]

I have problems in plannig the timings of science fairs?
Q. Okay, in order to participate in Intel ISEF, I must participate in a regional contest first. If I participated in the regional contest in 11th grade, is it possible for me to participate in Intel ISEF in 11th grade too? I mean I don't want to participate in Intel ISEF in 12th grade because I want to include on my applications that I participated in Intel ISEF. If I participate in Intel ISEF as a senior, I might not get the oppertunuity to say that I have participated in Intel ISEF. any help on planning what to do is so appreciated> look I really mean it.

Asked by rust - Fri Jan 16 11:21:01 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It gives you a chance to become knowledgable on a specific area. You are able to narrow down the scope of science as a whole and also branch out beyond the normal text book stuff. Also, you get to do more than just read and analyze, you can really put all you've got into it and show what you really know. Also, if yours is more than just your own school, you have a chance to meet new people.

Q. By Science Fairs I mean WestingtonHouse and the Intel Science Fair
Asked by Help!Sociallly confused - Thu Jul 12 01:41:37 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Absolutely- I used to work at Caltech (RECENTLY). The Alumni Office bestows something called the "Signature Award" to high school students and it's kind of a secret green-light during the admissions process. They give it for math, physics, and science. It's also fairly easy to get. Ask your counselor if your school gives the award on Caltech's behalf, if not, ask them to look into it since the CIT will give it to any school that applies, and gives it to any student that the school chooses... therefore it's not actually all that competitive. Of course, you've got to be up to academic snuff, but if you miss the science fairs, this is a GREAT way to make up for it (and get a book signed by a Nobel winner in your field of interest!)

Can experienced science fair participants answer this question?
Q. I'm a freshman, and today we began working on our science fair project. I'm thinking about testing the affects of different organic/natural additives on a common plant (carbon, sulfur, alcohol, etc.). I know this is a vague thought, but is it too simple? Just right? Are there any tips that you have for me? Also, I know that I have to determine what type of plant and the different additives i will use. Please comment and critique tremendously. Thank you!
Asked by Steph - Tue Oct 14 19:44:29 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Try adding different compounds of different acidity/basicity to see how different plants are affected. Do not add carbon or sulfur as they are not classed as "organic". They are classed as "basic elements" and are only part of the molecules in organic additives. Also, do not add alcohol as it is primarily not organic. Organic refers to living things such as carbohydrates. So try different acids and bases that are found in different plant foods.

A. I've judged a few science fairs, and I can tell you right now that it's not the project that wins, it's the person who did it. I've seen some kids do things that could have been publishable, but couldn't explain it - because their parents walked them through the whole thing. And I've seen kids win with projects like 'what kind of cup keeps coffee hot the longest' simply because they knew what they did and why they did it.

A. I can direct you to a site that has lots of ideas and they give grade levels so that you can look through and pick something that is appropriate. There are probably over 500 ideas. For example: The first topic is, Aerodynamics & Hydrodynamics Project Ideas and it lists 27 science fair projects for grade 6-8. There are also ideas for both the higher and lower grade levels. When you click on the first topic 'Aerodynamics & Hydrodynamics ' at the top of the page there is a scale using little squares that shows grade levels and icons for 'show easier ideas' or 'show harder ideas'. There's lots for you to browse through.

How can I transport a science fair project board on an airplane?
Q. I need to transport a tri-fold science fair project board that is 36 X 24 inches for a ~1 hour flight on an airplane. It's not possible to separately drive the board up, and my family would rather not purchase an extra seat just for the board. Would it be possible to check it and just wrap it in bubble wrap, or would it be smashed by all the other luggage? Any advice regarding any possible methods of transportation is appreciated.

A. There is tons of material available on language learning techniques. The field is known as "second language acquisition." It is possible to do experiments in this field, but they tend to be very time-consuming and difficult to set up. One idea would be to do a survey of people on their experiences learning foreign languages.

A. My daughter did something similar to this. Purchase several types and styles of detergent, from the expensive to the cheap. Make a hypothesis regarding which one should clean the best, ie typically you would think that the most expensive would work the best. Make close to identical stains on several pieces of cloth. Wash each of the cloth using different detergents. Measure, by observation, which one was cleaned the best. Support or reject your hypothesis based on your findings.
