Many times the most difficult thing about a science fair project is getting the one that you want to do. After you pick out one the rest is fairly routine and easy to implement. However the sheer number of options that you have to base your science fair project on can actually be a daunting thing causing a number of students to procrastinate about making the actual choice.

So here is how you can simplify that decision making process and find an interesting idea to make a science fair project as well. The trick is simple, keep asking questions. If you think of a particular idea and ask how will I do that? What will be needed to construct that? Will it be easy to build? Who will be able to help me with that project?

Suddenly you will find that the ideas that are not viable will fall by the way and the ones that remain become stronger contenders to become a project idea. You will eventually be able to narrow down the field to a particular one which interests you and is easy to do something with. Now you need to ask even more specific questions.

Eventually you will have a problem statement and a possible solution which will become your science fair project. The simple elimination system works best in this case. Why don’t you give it a try. You may find that its easier than running concrete ideas through your head.
