This Web page is designed to assist the student in the development of a research project, an essay, or a symposium paper in the areas of science, mathematics, or technology. The information at this website was taken from 2007 science fair handbook. This information should be read carefully and thoroughly by the student and the teacher. Planning and selection of a research project, the method of developing a scientific paper, and the adherence to safety requirements are explained in depth in this handbook.

If significant progress has been made on a project, the participant may exhibit his/her project at the local school science fair. If successful, the participant may move on to a Chicago Public Schools Area Fair. From this level, the project may be chosen for exhibit at the City Chicago Public Schools Student Science Fair held at the Museum of Science and Industry. more...
