Picking a Title For Your Science Fair Project
Friday, May 9th, 2008These are the titles of some winning science fair projects from the 2008 Coriell Science Fair. About 300 students, in 6th through 12th grades, participated. IMPORTANT TIP: Here’s an observation that has not been mentioned in most instructions for science fairs. I found many of the titles intriguing, and I’m sure the judges did, too. Those students obviously cared enough to spend some time choosing a name that would create some interest in their project. Which projects are you most drawn to?
