Do Science Fair Actually "Help" Teach Science?

I think that Science Fair does help teach science to people that decide to pursue the task because it lets them observe information that they have discovered about their science topic. Doing a science fair allows people to learn more about a certain subject and may answer any questions someone may have.  Science Fair teaches the scientific method, which includes asking a question, doing background research, constructing a hypothesis, testing with an experiment, analyzing the data that was obtained, and recording the data, so it does relate to science in many ways.   Students can improve the way they think because doing a Science Fair will require a large thought process of how to go about doing their projects.
