Science Fair Secrets - What Science Fair Judges Are Looking For


Let's face it: a science fair project requires a huge amount of time and commitment in order to do it right. No matter how hard you work on your science project, sometimes it can seem tough to know exactly what you need to do in order to impress the judges.

The good news is that science fair judges are always looking for the same basic things when they review science projects. These simple tips will help you to create the kind of science project and display that will attract the judges' attention and impress them. So, follow these tips to be successful at your next fair:

Know Your Project

You've probably spent weeks - or even months - preparing for your science project (I know I always did). It's exciting to think that the fair is just around the corner. But before you stand in front of your science project display to represent your experiment, ask yourself: do you really know your project well enough to talk about it?

No matter how much you know about your own science project, you can always learn more. I'm not suggesting that you spend all of your free time researching your science fair topic, but it might be a good idea to read a little more research on your science topic just in case anyone asks any questions about how your project applies to a particular field of science. Having knowledge that is not directly related to your project might also impress the judges!

Get that Display Looking Top Notch

Your science project display is a visual representation of your entire project. Therefore, take the time to make sure your display looks clean and complete. Use complementary colors, nicely typed informational sheets, and photos, where necessary. Your display should catch the judges' attention from down the aisle.

Relax and Get Pumped

On the day of the fair, make sure that you have had plenty of sleep. A big breakfast will help to keep you energetic and on your feet - no matter how many times you have to explain your experiment. Also, make sure that your clothes are ironed and look professional.

Prepare for Questions

One thing is certain about every science fair I have been to: judges like to ask questions. Make sure that you are ready for those questions by rehearsing with your friends and family. Show your friends and family your presentation and ask them to challenge you with their toughest questions. Preparation is the key to every successful science project.

Edit Your Science Project Report

The report is not only a written document that will communicate details about your experiment, but it will also indicate to the judges how thorough you have been in your experiment and research. Therefore, take the time to edit your report until you feel like it's perfect. Remember: teachers use the report to give you your grades.

Have Fun!

The most important thing that judges want to see is that you had fun while doing your presentation. By being creative and dedicated to your science experiment, the judges will appreciate your enthusiasm for science and research. Plus, having fun during the fair is...fun!

No matter what kind of science project you worked on, these tips can help you impress even the toughest judges. Take your time when working on the experiment and reports in order to ensure that they are accurate. As always, don't be afraid to explain your project in detail if the judges as questions. Again - have fun!
