Practice for Science fair

Fair judges reward rigor over flash. They will ask what you held constant, how you know it is not chance, and what you would change next. SpeakNow asks those questions out loud.

SpeakNow is not affiliated with Regeneron ISEF, Society for Science, or any school fair. This is independent practice for the format.

  1. 01

    Question before method

    What you were testing, in one line. Then how. Judges probe controls if the question is fuzzy.

  2. 02

    Say the control out loud

    What you held constant, sample size, and what would falsify the result. They will ask anyway.

  3. 03

    Numbers, not it worked

    Point at a measurement. Correlation is not causation, and they will check if you blur that.

  4. 04

    Limitations are scored

    What you cannot claim, and what you would change. Overclaiming costs more than a modest result.
