678 Science Fair Project Reminder

As we approach the February vacation please begin any experiments that will take longer than one month to complete.

If you have a shorter experiment, the sooner you complete it the more time you will have to work on your report.

Remember, if you are changing variables, only change one variable at a time and keep your changes consistent.

As you work on your experiments, you are required to keep a journal of what you are doing.  This is your record of your experiment, results, changes, new results, etc and will be a part of your final project.

If you are able, taking photographs of your work in progress will be helpful to your journal and can be used in your final presentation.
You may also use video recordings, especially if you are completing a sports related activity.  

The Middle School Science Fair will be on April 17th and it will be here sooner than you think.  Please don't wait until the last minute to start your projects.

Have fun and good luck!!

    1. Cece,
      You may use a laptop for your project but not during class time tomorrow. We will have to set up time after vacation for kids who need to test other kids with media or other ways. And I will need permission forms from parents to bring the laptop to school after vacation.

      We will change seats in math and science again, but first I have to move some tables around to make more space in science and in math too.

      Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing your project results.

      Mrs C
