Science Project Proposals: some are approved, some are not, and some are still MIA

I am reviewing projects that I received this week. I have been able to approve some :)  but others are not complete enough to approve. I will return them to you in class next week. Keep them in a safe place.

SOME STUDENTS HAVE NOT SUBMITTED THEIR PROPOSALS YET!!!!!!!!!!!!! :[

If you really are at a loss about what to do for your project then have you considered a GIZMO? You can use a simulation to test a hypothesis (scientists do it in real life). You still have to fill out the forms and write a proposal, but it might make it easier for you. Think about it. You can't afford to get a ZERO now for each review, nor can you afford to receive a ZERO for each of the next reviews. In fact, I will probably do a progress check on your Science Project Journal/Log  (SPJ/ SPL) starting on October 13. This will be worth much more than both the approved project and a proposal turned in grade. I will be looking to see if you are entering data, taking notes, initialing and dating your pages that you write on and that you are moving along. Granted some projects take more time than others, but that will be taken into consideration.
