Support your science fair project with AI

Choose a science fair idea

Choosing a science fair idea will guide your entire project. AI brainstorms science fair ideas with you. Tell AI about your science fair, like what grade levels are participating or tell the topics other students have already claimed so there isn’t overlap. Use these or your own science fair project idea prompts to get started:

• I need an easy science fair experiment. I only have two weeks to work on this project. Help me develop a list of topic ideas based on my interests.
• I want to do a science fair project about viruses. List five specific science project ideas that relate to this topic.
• Provide ten science fair topics that are appropriate for a fifth grader.

Get project management advice

Completing a science fair project is much easier when you have specific steps and a timeline to follow. Fortunately, you don’t have to create this timeline on your own: AI will quickly generate it for you. Check out these AI project management prompt examples:

• My science fair project is due in three weeks, and I have to research how tornados form. Create a timeline with detailed steps on how to complete this project.
• I’m doing a science fair project on the levels of sugar in eight different types of beverages. Create a timeline to help me finish this project.
• I have to do a science project about the greenhouse effect. List any bottlenecks I may experience while trying to complete this project.

Conduct science fair project research with AI

Doing science fair project research can feel time-consuming, but AI streamlines the process. For example, AI identifies credible sources, explains how to do experiments, and summarizes research articles and webpages. Here are prompt examples to guide your research:

• Is [website name] considered a reliable source in the scientific community?
• Where can I find reliable research for my science project about climate change?
• Summarize the main points of this research paper: [URL or attachment]
• What’s the best way to do an experiment about sunscreen?

Create your science fair board with AI

Your science fair board summarizes your research and findings. Present your hard work in the best way possible with recommendations from AI. If you’re not sure what prompts to use, try these examples:

• I worked on a science project about different dog nose prints. How should I organize my research on a trifold 36” x 48” board?
• Create an outline of everything I should include on my trifold science fair board and where it should go on the board.
• What size trifold board should I choose for my science fair project about volcano explosions?
• What creative ways can I present my ocean water viscosity research on a trifold board?

Edit your science fair report

It’s always a good idea to get a second set of eyes on your work. If your peers are too busy to review your work, turn to AI. Once you’ve written your science fair research report, copy and paste it into your preferred AI platform and ask it to check for typos and grammar as well as scientific accuracy.

Science fair projects are hard work, but they’re so rewarding once you finish them. Learn about more ways AI improves your everyday life, whether you want to start a student organization or work with a new study buddy.
