Pele by Alvis


I chose this topic because Pele is a soccer hero and I also play soccer so I was interested in it. I went to the library and studied at the college at least 1-2 times a week. I gathered information about Pele and used it to put together my project. I learned that Pele made 1,283 goals in his 1,367 games that he played. I am interested in doing Greek mythology for my next expert project.

Titanic by Rachel


I chose this topic because it sounded interesting and I wanted to know about it. I looked on the internet, looked at books and went to the public library to get advice from other people. I learned to do a little at a time and when you have to put it up, you will be ready. Then you can gather all the information and put it all together. I want to study about Pompeii for my next expert project.

Sea Turtles by Georgie


I chose this topic because sea turtles are very interesting to me. My favorite thing about making the project was getting the pictures. When I was researching about sea turtles, I saw of a lot of cool information and pictures. One thing I learned while researching was that sea turtles can't let in their fins, which is different than box turtles. Next year, I want to study about a door because it would be very interesting to learn about that.

Telephone by Malachi


I chose this topic because I thought it would be interesting. I got my information from the internet and researching. I went to the antique store and took pictures of older models of phones to use for my board. I learned that you should make sure to space out your research and don't do it all at once. I would like to do my next expert project on lions.

Hurricanes by Dylan


I chose this topic because I am interested in hurricanes. I used the computer to research the different kinds of hurricanes. Then I created a powerpoint with all the information I gathered during the research process. I learned that you should do a little bit at a time instead of waiting until the last minute. Next year, I hope to study about animals and maybe dissection.

Greek Mythology by Jesse


I am very interested in Greek mythology and I have background knowledge about it. I wanted to learn more about the topic. I talked a lot about Mount Olympus so I made a 3D model of it and I got a lot of information about each one of the gods. I learned that this type of project is a lot of work but I enjoyed it and hope to do it again. Next year for my science fair project, I want to research about forces in motion.

Mt. Mitchell by Will


I chose this topic because I been to Mt. Mitchell before and I was interested in it. I went to Mt. Mitchell and collected different plant samples. I made a replica of Mt. Mitchell for my 3D model and I put different information I had collected on the board. Next year for my science fair project, I want to dissect an animal.
