Chemistry Science Fair Projects
Chemistry is the study of matter and its behavior. Understanding these concepts is invaluable in almost every science based field. Chemistry science fairs are one of the best methods to explore the subject past what the average class room is capable of teaching you. Science fairs give the opportunity to further research into specific components of chemistry that might be of more interest and are impressive on a college resume.
Benefits of Chemistry Science Fair Projects
Enhance knowledge in Chemistry
Chemistry is one of the most important fields in most science occupations. From medicine to physics chemistry is relevant and having a strong understanding of concepts is really important to succeeding not only academically but later on professionally.
College applications
Being a part of a Chemistry Science fair and creating a project shows college personal interest and initiative towards chemistry and other science fields and STEM fields that are integrated into your project. These projects can also add to an academic spike, a specific area of interest found in extracurricular.
Recognition
Winning any Chemistry Science Fair is a major accomplishment and can lead to networking with professors and other opportunities. Getting a mention or some sort of prize for your research is a major boost in credibility of your interest and ability to perform in a more real world environment compared to in an academic setting.
Creating a Chemistry Science Fair Project
Research Topic
Find an interest or field of study within chemistry that is particularly interesting to you. Current level of knowledge in the field as well as relevancy of research should also be taken into consideration,
Narrowing in on Question
Find a very specific issue or unknown cause within your chosen area of research. This can be found by reading papers and other forms of academic literature to get a grasp of the knowns and unknowns of the field.
Create a plan
Creating a plan is incredibly important to the research project process. This project should include a hypothesis, an application of research, context to the research and the method of study as well as resources needed to perform the research.
Conduct study
Conduct the study within the time frame that is available, Try to consider limiting factors such as budget for the project and available resources.
Conclusion
Create a conclusion for the research and find a connection between the entire project, from the hypothesis to the results as well as the method of study. Suggest applications of the research and how it matterns in real world application.
