You cannot do a good science fair project without following this method.

In short the basic steps of the scientific method are:

1. Research


2. Purpose


3. Hypothesis


4. Experimentation

4. You will notice that after a while the higher air pressure in the bottle will force the water level to rise in the straw.


5. Take the card and carefully attach it to the straw


6. With your felt-tipped pen, mark the water level at room temperature


7. Now place your thermometer in the sun for about 15 minutes


8. You will notice that the water level has rise, mark the level with your felt tipped pen


9. Now you place your thermometer in the fridge for about 15 minutes


10. You will notice that the water level has decrease, mark the level with your felt tipped pen


11. Why did the water level rise in the sun and decrease in the fridge?


12. It might be a good idea to take photos of your work as you go for your display

This is a fun easy elementary science project that the small kids can do very easily with some help from an adult. It is always a lot of fun for them if they can see exactly what happens in a very visual way.
