When it comes to science fair projects, too many students make the mistake of picking a tried-and-true project that has been done a million times before. You know the kind I'm talking about. There's the Tornado Science Fair Project or the Volcano Science Fair Project or even the popular Popcorn Science Fair Project. Nowadays people are even getting tired of seeing the solar system science fair projects.
Not only are these projects boring, but they're also very difficult and costly for supplies. Why bother with that?
As a long time science fair participant, I can tell you that just seeing a big pile of sand and a board that says "volcanoes" just makes me sick. This has been done a jillion times, and everyone knows what's going to happen.
Pick something different. Please. Here's how you do it:
Start off by visiting this Science Fair Project page and buying one of the guides. These guides contain dozens of excellent and underutilized projects that are cheap, easy and sure to be unique. Yes, you have to pay for them, but you know what? Nobody else will do it, and that gives you a huge advantage, and the projects in there are so cheap for supplies that you'll be saving money in the long run anyways. Unique, quality experiments for all ages are in there, and judges will eat that up.
