Science Fair

Google Science Fair

The Science Fair is right around the corner.  Today the packets went home and the students Questions are due for review on this Friday (1.14.11).  While searching around the internet I noticed that Google has their very own Science Fair.  Poke around their site and see if you find anything interesting!

Discovery Education

I have also found that Discovery Education is a wonderful resource to help find, organize and share your ideas for the Science Fair.  Do you have any other sites that you have used in the past or would like to share for future reference?

Science Fair Projects (Materials & Procedures)

Hello Walker Wolves!  I hope that you are excited about the three day weekend, I know I am.  Just as a reminder to both students and parents, next Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 the students Materials and Procedure section will be due to me for grading.  Once again I will be grading the students based on the Science Fair rubric that we went over and discussed, it is attached to their packets.  We have talked about and gone over extensively what the procedures section should look like, step by step instructions that indicate what they student is doing in their experiment.  I found a great example of how and what the materials list should look like.

Procedures

I hope that this is helpful to you while you are writing up your procedures and list of materials.  Good luck!

Hi there everyone, it is about that time of the year to start thinking about the upcoming Walker science fair! There are a few key issues that I wanted to talk about to remind both students and parents of. Students have already received their packets along with the grading rubrics.  The due dates are as follows

• Question/Hypothesis due on Wednesday, Jan. 13th, 2010
• Materials/Procedures due on Wednesday, Jan. 20th, 2010
• Results/Conclusion due on Monday, Feb. 1st, 2010 
• Display due on Monday, Feb. 8th, 2010

The students will be going over each individual step in the class but are expected to complete the experiment at home.  You are all encouraged to come up with a question that is original and unique to you!  Here are a couple of resources that may help you when thinking about some topic ideas.

Please remember that these sites are meant to HELP, not do the work for you!  I love to see students coming up with original ideas that pertain to them and what they are interested in.  Please remember to ask questions if there is something that you are unsure about, I am here to help.  I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
