Science Fair Projects!

Science Fair is coming on May 14th!

Yesterday, I passed out information about our Science Fair. Each student will work either in a pair or individually on a Science Fair Project, in which they must perform a scientific experiment. There are several elements that they will need to do, all of which are outlined in the packet that I distributed yesterday.

They also received a time line and checklist of when each element of the Science Fair Project needs to be completed. Parents, please make sure to review the time line so that you know what your child is responsible for completing.

This week, all that students need to do is decide on what question they will address with their project. Next week, they will work on planning the different elements of the experiment. By next Thursday, all students should have their projects planned, including their question, purpose, variables, materials list, procedure and hypothesis. Also by next Thursday, students need to have gotten their projects approved by me.

They'll have the next two weeks, including Spring Break week, to complete the actual experiments and collect their data. Check back on the blog for pictures and examples from last year's science fair! Also, check the time line on the sidebar for important science fair dates!
