Science Fair Topic Wizard

This site http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/recommender_register.php has an interesting wizard that helps students pick a project based on their interest. There are a series of questions the students must answer and then the projects that should interest them are suggested. The problem is the suggestions are actual projects rather than just project topics. Be careful how you use this site!

Chicago Science Fair

Schools are beginning to think about science fairs. Here is the link to the city's science fair information http://www.chicagostudentsciencefair.org/ Here is the specific link to the science fair handbook. http://www.chicagostudentsciencefair.org/Docs/2010Handbook.pdf Last time I checked, the 2010 handbook was not posted, but the link contains a link to last year's handbook. This link http://www.chicagostudentsciencefair.org/Main/documents.html contains the documents needed to be filled out and submitted for approval for certain types of experiments.
