Looking for a science fair project?  Here are a few starting ideas.  Remember, all projects start with an idea that forms an objective.  The objective will be carried out by procedures.  Procedures are conducted by certain methods using specific materials.  While conducting your methods (experiments) you will collect and record observations and data which must be analyzed.  After you have completed analyzing your data, draw educated conclusions and summarize your results.

There you have it!  Basic items needed for a successful project, report and presentation are the following:

objective - procedure - method - materials - observations - data - analysis - conclusion - summary
