School science fair projects
Picking the right kind

It is very important to ask your teacher about the kind of science fair project that you are expected to do. There are three distinct types of projects. What is acceptable as an elementary school science fair project may not be acceptable as a hight school or middle school science fair project. Also, state, regional or national science fairs may have different rules. Not only could doing the wrong kind of project keep you from going on to larger science fairs, it could also result in a bad grade. So let's talk about the three kinds of projects so that you decide what is expected at your school.
