Helpful Hints from MSOP Students
|
"Make a schedule of when you are going to work on your science fair project and what you
are going to do each time." You can download empty planners here.
"Seek help from sources outside of school, such as a mentor or a professional
in your field of interest."
"Always dress to impress during a science fair. Don't show up in jeans and a T-shirt."
"Never be afraid to ask for help. There is no such thing as doing too much research. The
more research you have on your project the better you are at understanding it."
|
"Take lots and lots of notes! You don't want to seat down to write your report and realize
you've forgotten all the data, when you did it, what weighed what and under which conditions, etc."
"Remember, when it comes to your project you are the expert. You should be able to thoroughly
explain it. So study, study, study!"
"Practice your speech in front of your family, friends, teachers, neighbors, mirror,
and even pets! Ask for feedback."
"Be patient. You will make mistakes, but don't be afraid to try again."
