While there are many
resources devoted to science fair projects, we realized the
importance of creating a site which dealt with such subject
matter at a more seminal level, a site devoted to Science Fair
Topics.
Science Fair Topics are where it all begins. We hope to
be able to guide you into the right direction, and sometimes a
little off the beaten path. While your success depends
upon a wide range of factors besides your chosen topic, you
stand a better chance receiving an award if you are presenting a
project based on an original topic.
To help in the selection process, we have divided the site
into four categories; first off are the Earth Sciences, followed
by the Life Sciences and the Physical Sciences. We plan to
add more topics to the website at a later date, but in the
meantime we have chosen to include a list of useful references
and online resources to help you design, build and present your
science fair project.
What we have chosen to present on this site is meant to
inspire, a proper set of tools to begin your scientific
exploration. Within each section of the site, you will
find definitions and descriptions of various branches of
science, including excerpts from relevant websites and
publications.
While researching your topics, you will realize that the
distinctions between the various branches of science are often
blurred by cross-pollination, and that some of the important
scientists we are featuring on this site often worked within a
wide variety of scientific fields, Mathematicians and Physicists
were sometimes Physicians and Astronomers, while the
fields themselves often merge, as is the case with Biochemistry
and Geophysics.
Some of the topics covered on this site are; Geography,
Geology, Meteorology, Oceanography, Vulcanology, Egyptology,
Ethno Botany, Genetics, Zoology, Acoustics, Astronomy, and
Chemistry.
Happy research, and good luck!
