Dear Parents, Our Science Fair is tonight from 6:00-8:00. Students may choose to stand with their projects or go look at others. We will be storing the interactive part in the classroom, and students will be able to come up and get it if they choose. They will return it when they are finished for the night, for safekeeping. Your child’s interactive part has to stay at the school for marking over the weekend. Tomorrow students will have the chance to view other projects during a class viewing time. Have a fun night! Grade 5S

  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.

Today students were introduced to requirements for our class Science Fair projects. Each child will be required to complete a project and details about the project were sent home to be read and signed tonight by parents. For now, I'm just asking that students try to think of a problem they could test using the theme of Force and Motion. In the upcoming weeks, we'll be working in class to develop these ideas and test them. Upcoming target dates and associated homework will be given as part of our regular homework. I've added the project description sheet and marking scale as documents on this page.Check the Documents link below.

Just wanted to say a huge "Thanks" to my students for your Christmas gifts of money, which were donated to buy me a gift for World Vision. My "Piggy Project" goal was reached and you bought me a piglet and some chicks!         Image from https://catalogue.worldvision.ca/Gifts/Forms/Category.aspx?name=animals
