A Guide to Great Science Fair Projects

EfstonScience - The Science Fair SuperStoreThe most difficult part of any science fair project is getting started. In order to do this you must look at the world around you and imagine why things happen and what you can do to better understand the world around you. The great Leonardo da Vinci looked at the world around him and imagined flying machines and submarines hundreds of years before any other man. Then he created models based on his studies of birds and fish . Today the men of science imagine and create models of space ships that will fly to other planets or cities under the oceans. In another thousand years we may live to be 150 years old and travel to other stars. There is no limit to what the human mind can imagine or create — so believe me there is no shortage of science projects — only a shortage of creativity and imagination.

The next several pages are an attempt to inspire your minds by some simple techniques to put you on the right track towards discovering the world around you.
