Science Fair Experiment Project Guide Book

REMEMBER!!!! This is an experiment, NOT a project. No models
of planets or bubbling volcanoes. You have to ask a question,
make a hypothesis, and then prove it right or wrong.
PLAN OUT YOUR STEPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN. Don’t just “wing it.”
You may not do an experiment that you have done before.
Don’t forget to take pictures that show you working!
You can include the labels of the packages of things you’re using
to decorate your board. For the safety of your audience, NO
food, plant, medicine, or mold items may be put on your board.
This includes animal food or treats. Packaging and pictures will
be fine instead.
Be creative and make your board attractive, but remember…it’s
more important to have a good project instead of a pretty
board.
Remember to come up with a catchy title.

Paper vs. Plastic: Which One Is Best for Shoppers to Use?
Which bag can hold more weight: Paper or Plastic?
This is to help you form an educated hypothesis. Read about your experiment enough to learn about your items, but not
enough to spoil the surprise! For example, I would be researching the materials that are in plastic bags and paper bags,
and how they are made.
