MAJOR CHANGE:  The Rocketry Challenge competition may NOT be used by students who what to substitute for Science Fair.  TARC is considered a self-design project.

• Lost the schedule given to you in class -- Timeline and Schedule for Science Fair
• Need ideas:
  • http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects.html -- The best link ever!
  • http://www.sciserv.org/isef/ -- International science fair project link.
  • http://www.cyberbee.com/science/scitips.html -- good beginning website with good ideas
  • http://school.discovery.com/sciencefaircentral/ -- great website put up by Discovery
  • http://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/projectguide/ -- a good beginning but many of the experiments were on the elementary level
  • http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/kids/fair/ideasframe.htm -- great ideas in the field of agriculture
  • http://www.sciencebuddies.org/ -- Another good link to use for those of you who are new.
• SCIENCE FAIR FORMS -- do not begin until experiment is approved.
  • FORMS LINK
  • STUDENT HANDBOOK
• Interested in a great scholarship
  • Symantec Software Scholarship information -- $10,000 college fund scholarship

• Citation/Bibliography sources: http://www.easybib.com/ or http://citationmachine.net/ or http://bibme.org (this is the easiest) -- Remember it needs to be APA

• Please check out the regional (Cache County Science Fair website) at www.cachecountysciencefair.org
