Abstract	As a science teacher educator and former science teacher, the author has long known that the science fair should be part of his professional experience, but he had not given it much thought until recently. As he worked with his daughter's project, he became convinced that it is time to reconsider the range of activities one calls "science fairs." This article uses the term "science fair" for projects and programs that give students authentic and personal experiences in doing science (this can include expositions, olympiads, and other design competitions). The author presents some reflections on and recommendations for these types of projects. (Contains 1 online resource.) (ERIC).
