As we get started with our science fair project, we need to investigate ideas, tips and projects to avoid. This process will help us to determine the best way to approach this assignment. We will use the webpage "A Successful Science Fair Project" to help us seek the information needed to help make our decision about our science fair project.
On this post we will look at three different links on this webpage and address questions for each of these links. The first link to click on will be "Top Ten Science Fair Project Ideas".
