A month ago students were introduced to the idea of science fair. We have spent over a week in class discussing the requirements, expectations, and the actual "how" of science fair.
There are some presentations available on the science fair website to help with the identification of variables as well as writing a hypothesis. Here is the link in case you are struggling to find it:

The research plan is basically a glorified pre-lab report. The parent sign-off is required in order be sure there is parent approval, as there is often at least a small monetary commitment. The documents below are downloadable and should be easily edited for students to create a research plan.
Don't forget you need to have the SIGNED research plan worksheet from your parents! It is attached below.
