Science Fair...let's get thinking....

I love science fair time.  Science fair is the time of year where students can explore any topic they would like- so there should be no student who says they don't like science during science fair time, because they chose the topic!  It is really interesting to see student's interests and personalities come out through this time.  But topic choice is probably the most important decision that a student makes because they will be devoting a lot of time to this topic.
When considering a question, ask yourself these questions:
Is my topic realistic?  Is it something I can do?  Is my topic interesting to me?  Can I investigate my topic by experimenting and collecting data?
Ask yourself:
Is my project truly original?  Is the answer to my question already known?  Are there outside resources that can help me find my answer?
