Science Fair & Project Night

I want to thank all of my students for your hard work!  I really think it paid off with an amazing display of posters, experiements, creations, and research.  I'm sorry I was not able to make it back to school for the project fair but I did go around to all of the teachers in the building bragging about the incredible job my kids did and how rad the hallways looked!!!

I hope you all had a great time working on your projects and I can't wait to see your presentations on Tuesday!

Science Fair Project

We are going to have a science fair in our class.  These are some of the guidelines for how we plan on completing the science fair projects.  First, we are going to write proposals.  These proposals are going to outline the project each student would like to do for the science fair.  Their projects can be an experiment, exploration or invention.  It should be something they enjoy and would like to learn more about.  Projects will be individual assignments (unless a student can make a really good argument for needing two people). Supplies are limited so students will need to include the supplies they need in their proposal and how the plan on obtaining these supplies.  If a student is not sure how supplies can gathered then we can discuss options for finding the supplies.  These proposals will be due January 13th.

After student proposals are approved, we will begin working on our science fair projects.  The time we spend will be following the scientific process by researching, writing hypotheses, gathering data, constructing, writing conclusions, and any other pertinent step.  At the end, students will present their science fair project to the class.  This should take place January 27th (subject to change depending on the schedule for the following week).
