Introduction
Every year, Perry High, and the rest of the Chandler Unified School District, participates in the Hamilton Invitational Science and Engineering Fair (HISEF). The date of the Perry Science Fair is January 31st, 2015 from 11AM- 1PM. Keeping that date in mind, we will begin working on Science Fair activities beginning on October
20, 2014.
The objective of completing a Science Fair Project is to develop a working knowledge of the Scientific Inquiry Method. You will learn in Science Class that this method, used by scientists all over the world, involves the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Posing Questions
Forming a Hypothesis
Designing an Experiment
Performing the Experiment to Collect Data
Interpreting Data
Drawing Conclusions
Communication of Scientific Method Process

Within each of these steps are activities that are performed to ensure your experiment makes sense and could be repeated with similar results (this is known as being
“accurate” and “valid”).
