Science Fair is Coming!!

Yes it is!!  Students have been learning about the scientific method and how it helps us discover more about the natural world!!  It's time to, "walk the walk!"

Last week, students were asked to write down some ideas that they would like to possibly investigate further in their science fair project through the application of the scientific method.  This week, we'll be asking students to come up with three to five measurable questions to be considered for their project. 

As we mentioned during "Meet the Teacher Night," science fair judging for Beachland will be held on Wednesday, December 5.  Students will also be receiving more detailed instructions in addition to a timeline of when certain components of their projects are due.  We'll also offer students the opportunity to order display boards and adhesive subtitles as we get closer.

We encourage students to use their natural curiosity about the natural world to devise their testable questions for their project.  However, if students have difficulty, there is a really neat resource available online through Discovery Education.



As more information is sent home with students, it will also be posted in my next blog!  Have an AWESOME WEEK!
