Things to Remember

1. Be sure you are doing an experiment and NOT a demonstration, report or model.
An experiment tests things and answers questions like "What happens when I..." Making a model of a volcano is NOT an experiment but testing different combinations of vinegar and baking soda to get the largest "explosion" is.

2. Do not put your name on the front of your project board. Only put your name on the back. It is important that the judges not be able to see your name on the project.

3. Include all your goofs and wrong turns. The judges like to see the problems you had to overcome with your project. A project that is too perfect was probably too easy.
