Please use the science fair timeline as a guide. This was handed out at the beginning of the year and was also sent via Google Classroom.
Students have from Oct. 20th - Jan. 9th to complete their experiment. I suggest doing it sooner rather than later so I can answer questions before Christmas Break.
Notes when doing the experiment
- Take lots of pictures (these need to be on your science board)
- Record data, and lots of it. This can be written by hand
-When we return from break, we will make the charts and
graphs online.
- If you are testing people, you need to test at least 20 - 30 people so don't wait until last minute
-If you need class time for this, please talk to me early to
arrange a time
********************************************************
When we return from break, we will have 10 class days to finish the science fair; data & results, conclusion, title page, and special sheets.
********************************************************
Science fair will take place January 23rd from 3:00 to 4:30. Everyone presents to 2 judges. Once you are judged twice, you may leave. Results will be presented at mass on Friday, January 25th. The top 6 will have the opportunity to compete in the IJAS Regional Science Fair on Feb. 23rd or Mar. 2nd.
