This science fair project planner is designed for group science fair projects. In the past my students struggled with each component and how to put them together to design and create their science fair project. Using this as a guide students are more confident through the process and complete higher quality work. Included is an agenda of target due dates that the students fill in to help keep them on track. Each step of the science fair project is included with a brief description/directions and a space for students to fill in. Students will also benefit from guidelines on putting together their science fair board. Finally, I have included the scoring rubric (based on the one my district uses) to grade the components and content of science fair projects. Updated to include self reflection as well as self and peer scoring.
This is a great product. I need to give it to my students in French however. Is it alright that I change it a bit and translate it? Can I email you a copy when I've completed it?
I love the step by step reminders! Great resource!

This will be such a help in guiding my students this year! Most need good date-by-date goals and your reminders about being specific and becoming an expert are exactly the points that I stress. Thanks!
My students complete Science Fair Projects every year and I have put on my to do list to create something like this for them to help them along! Thank you for it and I am hoping my students find it as easy to use as I see it!
Thank you so much for this FREE version. I have been looking everywhere for a decent rubric for science fair boards and I think I've found it. Again, thank you.

Is there any chance you would be willing to sell a word document of the Science Fair Project Planning Packet? I think it's great but I'd love to fix a couple of typos and add some differentiation as I teach three grades.
I saw your store on the Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Well done! Since you are just starting out, here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products.
Add some clipart to add color or just color some of your font. (I do even on high school math tests!) For some reason buyers like color on the original even though they may copy your product in black and white. Also, create a cover page for each of your products which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers. You might also add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page for the teacher. (How do use this? When? Etc.) List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product.
Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also number your pages. Finally, unless you want your products revised (I do for my tests) save everything in a PDF format as it is harder to change.
It is important that we see what others are doing to gather ideas; so, feel free to look at any or all of my freebies listed below. If you care to, a rating or any feedback you might have would be great.
I am now your 2nd follower, and if you would like, you are welcome to follow my store as well: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/SciPi/Products
Keep checking the Sellers Forum under Communication for loads of great ideas and helpful suggestions given by TPT veterans. The best of luck as you sell on TPT! It is quite addictive!
