4-H CONTEST

SET POSTER CONTEST

The Discover Scientific Research Method Poster contest
allows youth to apply the scientific method to the subject
matter they have learned through their 4-H projects. The
scientific method is a process for experimentation that is
used to formulate and test a hypothesis through
experimentation and data analysis. Scientists use the
scientific method to explore relationships in nature. The
poster contest will allow youth an opportunity to display
and explain through the scientific method their project,
research, and observations.
