A. Read your textbook to learn and understand. Don't rush!
B. Science Fair: March 13, 2012
EVERY STUDENT MUST DO A SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT!
1. Pick up a display board.
2. Choose a science experiment. There are project books in the classroom and
in the school library. There are thousands of projects posted on the internet.
3. State a question that can be tested with an experiment. Questions were due
Sept. 2, 2011. Please turn in two copies of your question.
4. You must have at least 10 sources of research for your project; more
sources are better. Only one resource may be a person. Some sources:
a. books
b. encyclopedias
c. internet websites
d. periodicals and journals (magazines)
Research is due Oct. 28, 2011. Sources must be typed or written in
the correct form.
Each source must have an annotation, a brief summary of the
information it contains that is related to your science fair project.
You may use a computer program to help you.
5. After doing research, write a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction
of what will happen as a result of the experiment. The hypotheses are
due Nov. 22, 2011 and should be in an "If ... then ..." form.
Hypotheses should be based on the research.
6. Submit a detailed description of your experiment by Dec. 20, 2011.
7. Begin your experiment over Christmas break at the latest so you can
run it several times. Reliable experiments will produce similar
results almost every time.
8. Prepare your display board over Christmas break at the latest. It can
be finished with everything mounted except results and conclusions.
9. Completed projects are due in the classroom March 5, 2012 for
