Teachers and Students...
Science projects and science fairs don't have to be hard.
Here you will find everything you need to know.
We've gathered what we've found to be some of the best links on the Internet.
You may wish to put a link to this page on your school site
so others can take advantage of these fine resources.
If you have a dynamite science fair site to add, send the URL to us at
info@sciencevideos.com
This page is constantly growing!
If you're a teacher or administrator looking for some great
science fair videos and printed support material, check out the wide
selection available here.
Science Fairs
list
of all science fairs on the web (everyone)
Well, maybe not all the science fairs, but there sure are a lot of them! Visit
school, regional, state and even foreign science fairs. Find out
which projects won awards.
The
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (students and teachers, grades 7-12)
This is where all the regional and state winners go each year to compete at the highest
level
Getting started

Ideas For Science Fair Projects
Scienz Fair (yep it's spelled right!) Packed with project ideas, hints and tips and competitions. Great for both teachers and students (mostly for grades 1-9)
Exploratorium: The Learning
Center (teachers and students grades 1-8)
Here you will find some wonderful demonstrations of scientific principles. Teachers,
try some of these in your class. Students, do one for your science project.
Follow the paths to "Science Snacks" and "Science Explorer".
Think about how you might turn one of these demonstrations into an experiment!
A Canadian site with lots of science project ideas (grades 1-12)
The
Thinking Fountain (grades 3-6)
Grow some mold on bread.
Science
Made Simple (grades 1-4)
Some simple project ideas
The Franklin
Institute Science Museum (students and teachers K-8 with many good primary activities)
Here you will find a number of fun science activities that can easily be done as your
science project. They are mostly models and demonstrations.
Teacher
Lesson Plans on Science (students and teachers, grades K-12)
There are lots of good ideas lurking about here. See what teachers do to
explain a subject and find one of their activities to use for your science fair
project!
Bill Beaty's Science Site.
(students and teachers grades 1-12)
Always a favorite, Bill Beaty's site is packed with cool stuff
Insights Visual Productions,
Inc (teachers and students, grades K-12)
This company produces and distributes a number of science fair and invention fair
videos. One is for teacher inservice and ten others are used in the classroom at
various grade levels. Most programs include excellent handbooks with reproducible
printed material.
Resources
Convert
English measurements to Metric (students grades 4-12)
When you collect science data, it should be in metric measurements. If you measure
something with a "yard stick", you should convert the measurement (feet or
inches) to meters or centimeters for your project. At this site, you will be able to
easily do this. Remember to round off the answers, if necessary, after you do the
conversions. Also, use the right form. 1,552 centimeters is better expressed
as 15.52 meters.
