*****"SCIENCE FAIR" PROJECTS*****
FINAL DUE DATE: Mon, May 16
AFTER SPRING BREAK your child will be starting a “mini” SCIENCE FAIR EXPERIMENT to perform at home. Please encourage your child to think CREATIVELY about the experiment. For example, how could certain factors/ variables of the experiment be changed - how would the results change? Have them TRY IT OUT.
These experiments should pretty simple, but will require some SUPPLIES (ie: simple household/ garage materials).
I would also encourage PHOTOS to be taken of the experiment (or DRAWINGS made). (VIDEO of the experiment is an option)
*****SUMMARY of REQUIREMENTS*****
1. PERFORM EXPERIMENTS at home – record results
2. Create a POSTER/ BOARD (or PowerPoint) about the experiment - include pictures or photos (or VIDEO?).
3. One-page (max) TYPED LAB REPORT about the experiment.
4. Short in-class PRESENTATION.
************************************************
The students will be getting a more detailed instruction sheet and will have time in class to work on preparing their project.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Mr. Sandoval
