Every school district, county, and state have their own scoring guide for judges to use to evaluate science fair projects. Sometimes the judges work in teams, sometimes alone. The forms tend to be vague. Creativity? Just how is that defined? That aside, the judge will see if the project has a hypothesis, a research paper, an experiment, data, methods, materials, and a conclusion. Most of the time, when I judge, I ask the student or team to tell me about their project. Many kids have memorized a script. I prefer the kid to just start explaining what he or she did, how it turned out, why they selected this project, what happened that was unexpected, or what he or she might do differently next time. Why did you enjoy this experiement? What does the data imply? Did the data support or refute the hypothesis?
