    A science fair is an opportunity for students to explore scientific concepts through hands-on experimentation and application of the scientific method. Students can investigate topics that interest them, such as how different factors affect plant growth, animal behavior, or product effectiveness. Good science fair projects involve making observations, developing hypotheses, testing through controlled experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. Students are encouraged to creatively display their process and findings on a poster board with charts, graphs, and diagrams, and to present their project orally to judges. Safety protocols must also be followed.
