There are many great Internet sites dedicated to planning and performing science projects. Some of them focus on experiments, some on designing and engineering new things, and some on performing scientific research. There are even sites that show you how to set up a tremendous science fair project.
While all of these Internet sites will help give you ideas and guide you during your project, performing the work is up to you! It is very important that you understand your topic very well, so you can answer any questions that the judges might have. So do not think that because the Internet has an “award-winning” idea that you will necessarily win any awards with it. The best fair projects are ones that show your own ingenuity and creativity.
And don’t let yourself follow in someone else’s footprints. There are many, many science project websites that tell you exactly what to do and how to do it. These do not make for good scientists, nor good science fair projects. A good science fair project starts with an idea, so by all means use the Internet to get your ideas, but make sure to follow your own path on your way towards a solution.
