Staying Organized
With a Schedule
This may be the
first time you have attempted a long range project so
it is very
important to prepare a schedule and stay
organized. Science fair projects often
require several weeks for completion. For
that reason organizational meetings
are often set up months before the actual
fair. Don't let a due date that is
many weeks away throw your planning off; there are
many things to do. Here is a suggested schedule
that provides ample time to complete all phases of the
project:
