Students complete sixteen notebook sections. The first and last are reflections about the science project. The other fourteen sections involve the actual processes of completing a science fair project as follows:
- Choosing a Topic and Question
- Researching
- Writing a Bibliography
- Writing a Hypothesis
- Listing Materials
- Listing Procedures for the Experiment
- Writing How to Control Variables
- Collecting Data (The Experiment)
- Taking Photographs
- Making Charts and Graphs
- Writing Results
- Stating a Conclusion
- Writing Practical Applications
- Designing a Science Board
The notebook is geared for grade 3, grade 4, grade 5, grade 6; however, younger or older kids can benefit depending upon their skill level and support. Pages in the PDF packet can be printed either in color or grayscale with good results. These activities are effective for homeschool or summer programs.

"This is by far the best break down of a science fair project I have ever used. I have been steadily signing off on each section and the students are practicing the skill of doing a large project in small doable goals. We often tell them to do that, but this packet shows them how to do it. Thank you!"
