Students are receiving a packet from Sciencebuddies.org.  This website is a great resource to help with science fair work.  The link it located below:

sciencebuddies.org

Science: A minimum of 5 questions to guide background research for your science fair topic.

Word Work: lists and definitions/parts of speech.

Today in class, students committed to a topic and one question to explore for their project.  After that, the wrote paragraphs to describe their plans.  Tomorrow I will be checking those paragraphs.  The paragraphs should answer the following questions:

-What will you test?

-What will you do?

-What materials will you need?

-How long will it take to do the experiment?

-What will your variables (control, independent and dependent) be?

-What will your measure?

 

Now is a good time to decide if this is a project your parents and guardians approve of and are aware of.  Also, will you have enough time to complete this experiment before the end of March?
