Model Requirements

Create a title for your model.
Write a step-by-step procedure of how you made the model.
Explain how the model works.
Make a model or provide any reasonable manner that fulfills the display requirements.

Safety First

Investigations need to be developed and assembled by the student. Experiments must be safe, use child safe materials, and not involve live animals. Any food that will be on display must come in a sealed Ziploc bag or Tupperware container.

Never use or mix any chemicals or hazardous materials
Always wear goggles with activities that could harm your eyes
Do not use live animals
Avoid using sharp objects
Do not use an open flame to conduct experiments
Avoid using AC current electricity
IF electricity or heat is needed, adult approval and supervision is required
Do not display items that require tasting, touching or inhaling
Project display should be free of objects easily broken
Always use common sense-Safety First

The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method is an organized way of figuring something out.

Purpose/Question - What do you want to learn? For example, "Does the color of a light bulb affect the growth of grass seeds?"

Research - Find out as much as you can. Look for information in books, on the internet, etc. to get the most information you can before experimenting.

Hypothesis - After conducting research, predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is 'educated guess'. This is usually stated like " If I...(do something) then...(this will occur)" An example would be, "If I grow grass seeds under green light bulbs, then they will grow faster than plants growing under red light bulbs."

Experiment - Design a test/procedure to find out if your hypothesis is correct. For example, Set up grass seeds under a green light bulb and seeds under a red light. Observe each for a couple of weeks. You would also set up grass seeds under regular white light so that you can compare it with the others. Write down exactly what you did for your experiment step-by-step.

Analysis - Record what happened during the experiment. Also known as 'data'.

Conclusion - Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct. If the grass under the green light bulb grew faster, then you proved your hypothesis, if not, your hypothesis was wrong. It is not "bad" if your hypothesis was wrong, because you still made a discovery!
