After you have selected a topic, review the information on sciencebuddies.org about “Your Science Fair Project Question”. 

http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_question.shtml#yoursciencefairprojectquestion

Write a Science research question.  Consider what question are you trying to answer? The question should have an answer that is NOT a generally understood concept.  The question should be able to be answered through observation and experimentation. You are not doing a factual report that tells about a specific concept. You must have an idea that can and will be tested in an experiment that you perform. Final draft of this research question must be included on your display board.

Complete the form:  Science Project Proposal Form and submit to your teacher.
