How To Get Started
To participate please fill out the on-line Registration form
.
The Information Guide provides more detail about the process and the various ways to answer a question. This year we are encouraging demonstration projects along with experiments!
Remember to fill out the Science Fair Notebook as you are preparing and conducting your project. If you would like this notebook in Word format you can find that HERE
For help in determining a good science question, you may want to review the list of Past Science Fair Questions. There are also many great resources for science experiment ideas in the Maple Grove library, your public library (Children’s science section), and on the internet. Some particularly good internet sites are:

http://www.exploratorium.edu/ - Search for Science Experiments on the site.
