Moving Towards Science Projects

All classes have been introduced to the website http://sciencebuddies.org/  and http://nefrsef.org/ .

Both sites have many helpful hints. NEFRSEF is our regional science fair and because we affiliate with it we are governed ny the International Science and Engineering Fair Rules http://www.societyforscience.org/isef/ .
Yes, there will be forms for each child to complete and for parents to sign in BLUE ink, but not today.

A-day students should have a testable question to bring to class on FRIDAY, 09/16/2011 and B-day students should have theirs on 09/19/1955. Go to http://sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_guide_index.shtml?From=body for lots of good info. Handouts were distributed for the Scientific Method and The Science Fair Project Question. You can access this info at science buddies.

Each student will complete a Project Proposal Form which will need to be accepted by the teacher and signed by the parents. This is NOT the FORMAL PROPOSAL that will be assigned in a few days. More will be posted about that next week.

If the question is not accepted, then it's back to the drawing board to find a good testable question that can be the beginning of a good project.
