Catching up with posting assignments: Science Projects

Science Projects
At this time every class has had several opportunities to turn in their preliminary science project research. This is

• a TOPIC,
• 5 major sources in bibliographic format,
• Notes from each source, and
• a "What if" question.

Students who show progress receive 1 out of 2 points which is raised to 2 out of 2 points when the complete assignment is submitted.

When students receive a 2/2 they then begin their proposal. This includes a completed

• FORM 1,
• FORM 1A,
• FORM 1B,
• a RESEARCH PLAN, and
• FORM 3.
• any special forms applicable to the topic.

All forms are available at (3)http://www.societyforscience.org/document.doc?id=401

Completed means just that. Parents, you are the sponsor unless someone else is  watching and supervising your child do the experiment. Please DO NOT sign blank forms or any forms until you know EXACTLY what your own child is doing. Their safety is your responsibility. I am NOT the sponsor. I just read what you are allowing them to do. A lot of my time is taken up telling students the same thing over and over again. It will help for you to go to this link  (1) and read the rules so that your child's success will be almost automatic in prepping the project.  All classes have had at least one experience in designing an EXPERIMENT this year so they do know how to do one.  Remember, NEFRSEF (2) is a resource that has some basic information.
