Science Fair Toolkit

The purpose of any Science Fair is to teach the "Scientific Method". The library has put this site together to help you have a GREAT project. 

To help you, we have broken each step into three parts:

  1. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO - Clear instructions on the process
  2. LINKS - to sites that can help you with each step 
  3. A SAMPLE PROJECT - demonstrating each step
