Do's

• Make sure you have a lot of time to complete your project.  Haste makes waste.
• Pick a project idea that can be answered.  Make sure you aren’t just making an observation.  Make sure you perform an experiment.     
• Make sure to check your grammar, especially spelling.  Commonly, the worlds "effect" and "affect" are used incorrectly.  
• Take photographs of your experiment procedure.  Photographs can be used as artifacts.  Also remember to save any other objects you would like to use as artifacts.
• Give your project a creative title.  The title is the first thing people see when they look at your project.  If it's a boring title, people may not want to read it, but if your project has a creative title, people will want to know more.    

Dont's

• Some science projects might be to hard or complex for your current understanding.  Make sure you understand what you are doing during your experiment, and what the purpose is.  
• Making your project look nice is very important but, your actual experiment is more important.  Don’t spend too much time on making your board look nice. 

• Don't have more than one variable!  You should only focus on answering one question, with one variable.                          
• Make sure your project is well thought out before starting it.
