This article has all the information you need to complete a Science Fair Project, including instructional step-by-step video, documentation, required forms, experimentation tips and tricks, and how to squeeze your great idea into the scientific method.[am4show have='p8;p9;p16;p43;' guest_error='Guest error message' user_error='User error message' ] Step 1: Download the Project Guide.
Step 2: Watch the video here...... but note that this video is LOOOOOONG - nearly 2 hours! We just didn't want to forget anything, and we also wanted to give you all the best information we have, so enjoy! (And you'll find that the video intro is the same as the last project's.) If you just want the Solar Vehicles video itself without all the Science Fair stuff, click here for the project-only videos: solar car or wind turbine or solar boat.
Step 3: Download the parts list and data sheet. (You'll need the free Adobe Reader view the PDF files.)
Step 4: Set up and do your experiment.
Step 5: Log your data and chart your graphs. OR... download a copy of Excel from Microsoft. Once you have Excel running, use it to chart your data.
Step 6: Write your report. You'll find a sample report in the Project Guide.
Step 7 :Build your display board and exhibit. Find tips & tricks in both the video and the Project Guide. Click here to view the sample display board format. [/am4show]
Thanks for asking! We are in the process of updating all those links (there are quite a few) but in the meantime, I’ve put together a master shopping list sheet that has all the Radio Shack numbers updated to Jameco.com which you can review here: https://www.sciencelearningspace.com/2016/08/radio-shack-component-replacements/
The Radioshack part numbers are no longer working on the Radioshack site, and the parts do not come up when using the search feature. Do you have other recommendations for the parts?
Sorry about that! Try again now…
the video will not play.
