On the day of the science fair

Your science fair project is ready, your report is done and the day of the science fair is here. Does that mean its all over? No, far from it. Today is the day that you have been preparing for from the day you began work on your science project. What you do today is of paramount importance.

You are going to be on display just as much as your science project is so dress to impress. Don’t go over the top, it is not a fashion show, but make sure that you dress well. The first impression on the judges is made by a combination of what you and your project look like.

The next impression will be made when they see you formally present your project to them. How you deal with their questions will be important as well. You need to come across as a person who knows what the project is all about, not some one still unsure about what the model can or can not do.

Make sure that you bring extra paper, scissors and glue so that any last minute tears and hassles can be covered up. Also stay next to your project and make sure that not too many curious hands touch it till the judges have been to see your science project.

Above all have fun.  You can even bring a book along to spend the time gainfully till the judges get around to your turn. Here’s a peek into what the judges are looking for. Maybe you can take a print out of this and help calm your nerves.
