The great Discovery.com web site gives you everything you need to create a
successful science fair project. Learn about the basic steps required for
your project in the Science Fair Handbook. There are plenty of ideas and
tips if you haven't decided what your project should be about. Teachers and
parents will find lots of tools to get ready for the big fair: worksheets,
quizzes, lesson plans, challenging brain teasers and more. Budding
scientists in grades 5-8 can find out how to become involved in the
Discovery Young Scientist Challenge. Take a look at some of the projects
from past winners and finalists for inspiration.
