This year, ABC Middle School has the opportunity to compete for a place at the National Science Fair Convention. Science Fair isn't until October of the school year, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up about what we're planning on doing because some projects will take over a month to do! Every student will be required to do an experiment, make a tri-fold poster board about the experiment, write a short paper, and present their findings to the class. The board must include the experiment's: title, materials, procedure, hypothesis, data and conclusion. The conclusion will be posted on the board, but the conclusion is ultimately the paper. You will receive more direction about this project in class. Parents: this project is worth a significant part of their final grade! I urge you to encourage your students to have fun with this, but also to take it seriously.
Below are some resources to help you find an experiment. Remember! You want to pick an experiment you're at least a little bit interested in! Comment on this post letting me know what your experiment is and any questions you have. You must pick an experiment by September 1st!
