1. Select a Topic: A Science Fair Project is a test you do to find an answer to a question, not just showing what you know about something.
2. Gather Background InformationGather information about your topic from books, magazines, the Internet, people and companies.Keep notes about where you got your information.
3. Scientific MethodState the Purpose of your experiment - What are you trying to find out?Select a variable (something you will change/vary) that will help you find your answer.State your Hypothesis - your guess about what the answer will be.Decide on and describe how you will change the thing you selected.Decide on and describe how you will measure your results.
4. Run Controlled Experiment and Record DataDo the experiment as described above.Keep notes in one place. Write down everything you can think of, you might need it later.
5. Graphs and ChartsWhat happened? Answer that question, then put the results in graphs and charts.
6. Construct an Exhibit or DisplayIt has to be neat, but it does NOT have to be typed. Make it fun, but be sure people can understand what you did.Show that you used the Scientific Method.
7. Write a Narrative Procedure. Follow the rubric provided for you in the Science Fair packet.
8. Practice Presentation to JudgesPractice explaining your project to someone (parent, friend, grandparent, etc.) This will help you be calm on Science Fair Day. The judges are very nice and will be interested in what you did and what you learned.

Hints:
- Why do you actually sneeze?
- What are germs?
- What are you trying to show by performing this investigation?
- Is sneesing a good or a bad thing for you? For people around you?
- Do germs exist at equal amounts all year round?
I hope that is helpful!
