The eight steps needed to complete the science fair project are: 1. Choose a Topic 2. Do Some Research 3. Formulate a Hypothesis 4. Design an Experiment 5. Perform the Experiment 6. Analyze the Data 7. Create a Board 8. Give a Presentation **A summer challenge** This summer we are going look closer at each of the steps of the science fair project.
