Role of the Teacher• You are an advisor.
• Recognize the need for active student involvement.
• Respect student ideas and help steer them in the correct direction.
• Praise and encourage students.
• Advise students of resources available.

Tips for the Students• A Science Fair project is an investigation –
not a demonstration. There is a question that must be answered.
• If they have a demonstration in mind, help them to alter the thought process to asking a question: What is in _______? Why does this happen? Can I do this a better way? How does temperature change the behavior?

Variables• The independent variable is the one that is
changed by the scientist. In an experiment there is only one independent variable.
• The dependent variable changes in response to the change the scientist. Experiments also have controlled variables.
• There should be a Control. No experimental treatment is applied.
• Constants are conditions that remain the same for all parts of the experiment, such as measuring the water, always by a window, same position in the room, etc.

Sample Materials List( From Science Buddies)
• CD player & a CD (low drain device) • Three identical flashlights (medium drain device) • Camera flash (high drain device) • AA size Duracell and Energizer batteries • AA size of a "heavy-duty" (non-alkaline) battery
(I used Panasonic) • Voltmeter & a AA battery holder • Kitchen timer

Sample Procedure( From Science Buddies)
• Number each battery so you can tell them apart. • Measure each battery's voltage by using the voltmeter. • Put the same battery into one of the devices and turn it on. • Let the device run for thirty minutes before measuring its voltage
again. (Record the voltage in a table every time it is measured.) • Repeat #4 until the battery is at 0.9 volts or until the device stops. • Do steps 1–5 again, three trials for each brand of battery in each
experimental group. • For the camera flash push the flash button every 30 seconds and
measure the voltage every 5 minutes. • For the flashlights rotate each battery brand so each one has a turn
in each flashlight. • For the CD player repeat the same song at the same volume
throughout the tests.
