science fair projects

Classroom research displays

Science fair projects are student research presentations, typically involving a hypothesis, experiment, and results displayed on a tri-fold board.

They're a staple of American K-12 education, ranging from baking soda volcanoes to genuine original research.

The term often evokes last-minute parental involvement: We were up until midnight finishing her science fair project.
