Science Fair Reminders



OK there seems to be some confusion on what is due and when it is due. This Friday, April 29, a conclusion and graph are due. This means that your experiment must be complete but there is no need to bring your project to school or hand in your Final Report/Display Board yet. Conclusions and graphs can be on a sheet of notebook paper for this due date.

On May 10, FINAL REPORTS ARE DUE!!!
Final Reports are to follow the check list that went home with the students last week.


On May 13, DISPLAY BOARDS are DUE!!! Display Boards are to also follow the check list that went home with students last week.




If you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comment box, call the school, or email me!

Science Fair Help

I hope that all of your experiments are going well and that you are learning from the experience. Just wanted to remind you to record your observations in your science journals as soon as they happen. We all know humans are not perfect and our memory isn't the greatest, so record your observations!!! On Arpil 29th a graph and your conclusions are due. Chartgo is a great website to help you make that graph. Don't forget your titles and that you need to pick the type of graph that best expresses your data!!
