This document outlines plans for developing a Next Generation Science Fair that focuses on scientific literacy through a Kids' Inquiry Conference (KIC) model. It discusses how KIC aims to develop students' understanding of scientific inquiry through choosing testable questions, designing investigations, collecting and analyzing data, and communicating results using various presentation mediums. The document provides resources and guidelines for teachers to implement KIC, including inquiry planning sheets, developing student research and presentations, and checklists for conference coordination. The goal is for students to engage in authentic science experiences and become experts in their topics through guided and student-initiated investigations.
