Science Fair Project Update

Posted: April 2, 2012

  Just an update about Science Fair Projects. At this point, all students have chosen and planned the steps for their individual projects.They have worked on writing their Problem, Hypothesis, Materials, and Procedure, in class and at home, and have conferenced with me about these parts of their experiment. I have given, (and will continue to give), lessons on all writing and display parts. The students will be going to the computer room this week to begin typing their drafts of their experiment-which will be used as their abstract, and can also be used on their final display board. The goal for this week is to finish out the testing that they've planned(the procedure) and to chart/tally and write the results in draft form on their experiment draft copy. This would also be a good week to get their trifold and any paper or materials to use on their final trifold display board. Next week, our focus will be to put all the elements together, finishing Conclusions and Recommendations, finishing the display board/trifold good copies, and deciding on the interactive part.
