Science Fairs Alignment with National Standards Since their publication in 1996 by the National Research Council (NRC), the National Science Education Standards (NSES) have been at the center of the science education reform movement. This reform movement supports states and local school districts in translating the NSES into improved science programs that clearly focus on what students should be able to do in science and what they should understand about scientific inquiry. By the 2007-08 school year, all states are expected to measure students' science knowledge at least once in elementary, middle, and high school under the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. In the current climate of high-stakes testing, teachers struggle to find the time to offer hands-on, inquiry-based learning while still covering the broad range of scientific content specified in the standards. Science fairs are an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their achievements while providing a vital assessment tool for teachers to inform teaching and learning. Just as important, fairs can help students develop the essential attitudes and values that are needed for meaningful work in science. When science fair projects are done the right way, the philosophy behind the science standards comes to light—science is something you do and think about, not simply facts dictated in a textbook. Below is a summary of the science fair process, aligning each step with the appropriate science standards. (National Science Education Standards; National Research Council—National Academy Press, 1996) 1. Development of the research idea o Content Standard A: Science as inquiry (Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry, Understandings about scientific inquiry) 2. Development of the research process o Content Standard A: Science as inquiry (Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry, Understandings about scientific inquiry) o Content Standard: Unifying concepts and processes in science 3. Data collection and analysis o Content Standard A: Science as inquiry (Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry, Understandings about scientific inquiry) o Content Standard E: Science and technology (Abilities of technological design, Understandings about science and technology) o Content Standard: Unifying concepts and processes in science 4. Reaching a conclusion; discussing the implications of their research o Content Standard F: Science in personal and social perspectives(Personal health, Populations, resources, and environments, Natural hazards, Risks and benefits, Science and technology in society) o Content Standard G: History and nature of science (Science as a human endeavor, Nature of science, History of science) 5. Written and verbal communication of results o Content Standard A: Science as inquiry (Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry, Understandings about scientific inquiry) o Content Standard E: Science and technology (Abilities of technological design, Understandings about science and technology) o Content Standard G: History and nature of science (Science as a human endeavor, Nature of science, History of science) – 22

Students will be judged only on the most recent year’s research. Documentation must include the prior year’s abstract and Research Plan (1A) including the response to #5 on Form 1A. See section on “Continuation of Projects” in International Science Fair Rules and Guidelines. (www.societyforscience.org) How is a category for a project selected? Category descriptions can be found in International Science Fair Rules. Projects that could fall in more than one category should be entered in the category of major emphasis. Note that not all International Fair Categories are available for Regional or State Fair 23
