While some critics argue that the science fair project environment is too competitive for primary schools, it is a very popular activity among both teachers and students. It is mostly an American activity, but the practice has been adopted almost world-wide, with students from Europe, the Philippines, Japan and many other countries coming up with lots of science fair ideas.
Finding a good idea for a science fair project can be a daunting task.
There are a lot of good resources out there, but they can be hard to find. Feel free to suggest more links to this hypography feature by submitting links to our science links directory - or use our contact form!
