Science Fair Links and Information
Here are some good science fair internet sites for you to refer to
throughout the year. You need to study the information on the SEFH site
closely as it contains the rules and guidelines that we abide by. We will
also participate in the Galveston County Science Fair, so check out their
site for information in the spring.
Use the other sites as starting points for your initial project ideas and
background research. Although I have looked at the other sites, I have
not PERSONALLY read every page and visited every link they contain. As
with all internet sites, you must use discretion and additional research
to determine if they contain accurate and useful information. If you find
any offensive material, please let me know.
HAPPY HUNTING!
