How Do You Build A Science Project?
All science projects begin with a question that leads a student to ponder a scientific principle. Why do volcanoes erupt? How are clouds formed? What causes erosion? Choosing a topic is the first step. Make sure that your topic is interesting, relevant and age-appropriate. You should also consider cost and time allowances before making a decision. After you have chosen your topic, you are on your way. Below are steps in creating a great science project. Identify the topic. You probably submitted a project idea to your teacher. Your entire project will be based off this topic. Now that you have a focused subject, do some research to see what types of experiments you can perform to discover the scientific principles behind your topic. Form a hypothesis. What is a hypothesis? It is what you predict the experiments and research will prove. For example, if your topic is “What causes erosion?” then your hypothesis might be “I think that erosion is caused by rain and wind.” Your hypothesis do
