I can't wait for this time of year! Why? First of all, it is very exciting for me to see what experiments get picked. Secondly, it gives you an opportunity to really research an area and gain further knowledge about a topic that you enjoy.
Your assignment for break is fairly simple - get plenty of rest, eat good food and THINK!
When you come back from break, I would like you to have 3 different ideas to research for an experiment. We will begin the research process that first day in class.
"Where do I look for an idea, Mrs. Stewart?" I have built a link into SCIENCE FAIR MADNESS at the top of this assignment to help you get started. JUST CLICK ON THE TITLE!
Be careful when you surf the Internet. You don't want to do someone else's 5th grade project that was put online! Also, make sure that you are looking at topics that can be experimental - you need to be able to collect data!
"Are there any that I can not do, Mrs. Stewart?" Yes, and thanks for asking. You may not do taste tests, any kind of written tests to music, paper towels, bubble gum, or batteries.
If you have a GREAT idea, e-mail me over break and we can have a virtual discussion about it!
Have a safe, peace-filled holiday or break! See you in 2008!
