Go Public

Now that you have gathered multiple perspectives about the challenge topic, researched and revised it, and tested your understanding, you are ready to start on your science fair project on the unique properties of water and the connection between water and life.  Your project should include information on the molecular structure of water, its unique properties, and its role in sustaining life.

To satisfy this challenge your project must contain the following elements:

  1. A physical model, or an experiment, that illustrates either one special property of water, or its role in sustaining life.
  2. A computer presentation that includes a suitable visualization or animation relevant to the topic.
  3. A poster display with illustrations and text to explain the molecular structure of water, its unique properties, or its role in sustaining life.
  4. A written report summarizing what you have learned.
