Your child has decided to enter a science fair — an opportunity to explore the mysteries of the world around us. As a parent, your involvement and support could mean the difference between a stressful experience and an exciting learning adventure. Remember that the most important outcome of your child's science project is the joy and learning that comes from scientific discovery — not winning a competition!\n\nA good place to begin is the Student Handbook, which provides a wealth of tips and rules for science fairs. Below we've suggested specific sections within the Handbook that may be most helpful to parents.\n\nHow do we come up with a project idea?\n\nHow much time will we need?\n\nHow do we start the project?\n\nWhere do we get information? \nWhat should the final project look like? \nWhat else can I do to help? \n\n\nHow do we come up with a project idea?\nIf your child has decided to enter a science fair, the first question is likely: "What will my project be?" A good starting point is Three Steps to a Project. This section encourages students to start with a topic that interests them, then narrow down their topic to a specific question.\n\nThey should also visit Great Project Ideas, where they'll find a wealth of questions that can be turned into a science fair projects. \n\n\nHow much time will we need?\nA science fair project may seem like a overwhelming undertaking. The Six-Week Schedule will help your child think through the various stages of the process and set reasonable deadlines. \n\n\nHow do we start the project?\nBegin by reviewing the section on the Scientific Method. Every science fair project should follow the Scientific Method, which includes: Research, Problem, Hypothesis, Experiment, and Conclusion.\n\nTo see how the Scientific Method can be applied to different projects, see Project Types: Three Basic Choices. This section reviews the three different types of science fair projects: Investigations, Constructions of a Kit or Model, and Demonstrations of a Scientific Principle. They'll find examples of each type, along with a sample project. \n\n\nWhere do we get information?\nOnce your child has decided on a topic, see the section on Project Research. This section will explain how to collect information for their project, from primary resources like businesses and organizations, to secondary resources like books and periodicals.\n\nFor specific resource suggestions, see Science Sites and Books. Here they'll find a wealth of publications and Web sites on topics from space to physics. \n\n\nWhat should the final project look like?\nThe final project is the culmination of all your child's work-and they'll want to create something they're proud to show. The Project Report section provides a clear outline and suggestions for the science fair written report. You can also find helpful hints, do's and don'ts and safety tips for The Display. \n\n\nWhat else can I do to help?\nYour support and encouragement will be your most important contribution to your child's science fair effort. Of course, your supervision with regard to safety will be vital, especially with projects involving electricity, poisons, dangerous chemicals, or fire. Your child will also need your help with transporting the project to the fair, although it's best if students can set up and take down their exhibits with minimal assistance.\n\nYour child may also welcome your assistance with the following:\n\nSuggesting project ideas (these may be related to your work). \nTransportation to libraries, museums, nature centers, universities or other sources of project information. \nTechnical work, such as construction or photography. \nHelp with project expenses. \nGuide your child whenever and wherever you can, but let the final project reflect your child's individual effort and design. Do not worry about the project's performance at the science fair, since the real measure of succe

Use seasons or cartoons. If its spring put up flowers and rain. For summer a beach with the sun an umbrella and maybe a sandcastle will work. Use puns and plays on words such as "We've been buzzy Beeing(with a pic of bees) super students"-KLTouray. If you have a certain topic you will be discussing maybe planets, put up a pic of the solar system.

These are some ideas aimed for pre-k, 1st and 2nd grade:\n*you can provide different geometrical shapes and have them sort them according to color, size, shape, etc.\n*with the same shapes have them complete a pattern you start for them ex. red circle, yellow square, red circle, yellow square, etc.\n*try looking for a game called "Tangram", I don't know if you can buy one already done or you can make your own in this site:http://www.tangram.i-p.com/\n*give students play money and have them solve problems using it.

some ideas of what you could make the model from:\n\nstyrofoam\nclay with rocks\nlegos\npaper mache (shape your wall then take strips of newspapers dipped in glue and water mix and cover it..you can paint it when it dries)\nyou could use small boxes or cut up cereal boxes..and then paint them. \n\nor you could get really wacky and make it out of those little take out containers...or noodles..and shellac them. use your imagination!\n\nyou could even make a really tiny model and then build a model of a rocket that is larger..to show that it can be seen from space!

What an interesting question and one with no simple answer, and several questions. First how old is the child. Second what interests the child. Every child is different some can stare at cars, or fish, or spiders, or anything for long periods of time. Others change subjects like flipping channels on a TV. Remember children learn what you teach them. If you keep shoving science in their face beyond the point they are interested and then become frustrated. You teach a child that science, or any subject is frustrating. Younger Children like to see things happen out of the ordinary, color changes due to chemical reactions, objects flying when they shouldn't, something surprising happening can be of interest to small children. More intellectual, or intangible subjects like math, and behind the scene concepts are usually (I said usually) only good for older children that have asked questions. Bottom line there is no good simple answer other than to experiment and discover what a specific child would be interested in.

At this age, couldn't you do something like "Science Fair Fun" type of display rather than an actual science fair?  Have each class do a class project to submit for display.\n\nHold a fund raiser type activity - Mad Science night or pot luck dinner, whatever and display the class projects around the room for the parents and other students to view.  Have a couple of presenters from each class get up and talk about the project their class did.\n\nIts not "science fair" but it would be a good introduction to it for the kids.\nHere's a link that might help you find information on what your looking for too.\n\nhttp://www.proteacher.com/110002.shtml

Not sure if this might help but anyways take a look\n\nPS: Please next time be more specific and let your kid do his own homework..Your son need to learn to do things by his own ....no offense \n\nBasic Science Process Skills \n\n\nObserving - using the senses to gather information about an object or event. Your vocabulary for this lesson:  Qualitative Observation (using the senses) and Quantitative Observation (using exact measurement).\n\nExample: Describing a pencil as yellow.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nInferring - making an "educated guess" about an object or event based on previously gathered data or information. \n\nExample: Saying that the person who used a pencil made a lot of mistakes because the eraser was well worn.\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nMeasuring - using both standard and nonstandard measures or estimates to describe the dimensions of an object or event. \n\n   Example: Using a meter stick to measure the length of a table in centimeters.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nCommunicating - using words or graphic symbols to describe an action, object or event. \n\nExample: Describing the change in height of a plant over time in writing or through a graph.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nClassifying - grouping or ordering objects or events into categories based on properties or criteria. \n\nExample: Placing all rocks having certain grain size or hardness into one group.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nPredicting - stating the outcome of a future event based on a pattern of evidence. \n\nExample: Predicting the height of a plant in two weeks time based on a graph of its growth during the previous four weeks.
